The number of guys/hours required to set one of the poles on a concrete base furnished and installed by others will depend on several factors, including the size and weight of the poles, the complexity of the site (including any obstacles or constraints), and the experience and efficiency of the crew.As a general rule of thumb, I would estimate that it should take a crew of 3-4 guys approximately 2-3 hours to set one pole, including the time required to position the pole, secure it to the base, and backfill the base with concrete. This estimate assumes that the base is already in place and level, and that the pole is not excessively heavy or awkward to handle.In your case, your sub is suggesting that a crew of 3-4 guys should be able to set 10 poles in a day, which would imply a time of approximately 1.5 hours per pole. This seems like an ambitious goal, especially if the site is complex or the poles are particularly heavy. I would be more inclined to agree with your estimate of 5-6 poles per day, which would allow for more time to ensure that each pole is set properly and safely.Ultimately, the best way to determine how many guys/hours are required is to consult with an experienced contractor who is familiar with the specific site conditions and the poles that you will be setting.
