As Dr. Hix already pointed out above, such guidelines do exist. You just have to google, for example, "working time reference values for wall and floor coverings in thin-bed mortar" to find a corresponding publication from the Institute for Time Management and Business Consulting in Construction.
So it is indeed possible to consider different particularities of the work execution, for example tile formats, laying heights, size of the areas to be produced, etc. (of course, these are not all possible particularities, but the most important ones). The statement that such guidelines would be impossible is therefore not correct.
The point is, however, that the mentioned guidelines above are not official. My original question was and still is whether there is such a thing as an OFFICIAL guideline. So far, I can only read the answers NO. OK, thank you very much!
The question of whether such guidelines make sense and can be applied in real life is an entirely different matter. Yes, I need this for very rough planning. Yes, I understand that some factors cannot be foreseen.
After all, you also have your house built in real life and not in theory. Your tradesmen will tell you at the start of their respective trade how long they need.
My shell builder said at the start: we want to be finished by Christmas. That was ambitious. It only worked because it did not freeze and rained little. The roofer wanted to cover the roof before Christmas. That only worked because he wanted to finish the roof on December 20th in pouring rain. If he had not wanted to, the shell would have been left uncovered for at least 1 month in frost. The staircase was supposed to come at the beginning of March, but actually came at the beginning of February. The plumber wanted to come in at the end of January, but couldn't because the windows took longer.
I stick to the view that the theoretical figures do not help at all. They are simply a pointless waste of time.
