The article discusses the peculiarity of determining the duration of laying concrete mix depending on the height of the installation horizon. As a result of the study, the design was justified, which was accepted as a representative object, a sample of standard values of machine time costs was performed depending on the height (number of floors) of the building, the dependence of the calculated value of machine time costs on the height of the floor (the horizon of the work) was obtained, the reliability of the calculated values was estimated.
