Pueblo Grande Platform Mound, A Labor Investment Analysis Pueblo Grande Platform Mound, A Labor Investment Analysis Initial Rough Estimate of Construction Time. Based on a rough estimate of the platform mound size of 300 x 100 x 15 feet, a volume estimate of 450,000 cubic feet was arrived at. Allowing for a diverse material core of rock and earth and diverse distances of source material, I guessed that a cubic foot of average material could be placed per person per hour. Thus, 450,000 / 8 hours per day = 56,250 person days of construction time. Therefore a 100 person crew would have to work, non-stop, for a year, six months and 16 days.
