walshie 2,804 Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Anyone got a rough idea how much a builder charges to lay blockwork and how many blocks per square metre? That sort of stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Im a bricky by trade and have a building and roofing business. I look for £1 a block and £400 for a 1000 bricks and that's labour only working on a building site. On a private job it depends on the work that needs doing. If there's some good runs with the odd window and doorway I take the good with bad and am happy working on a price. If there is loads of windows, corners to build, profiles to set up and mainly level work with loads of setting out then I will only work for day rates. There is just over 10 blocks to 1m2. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
