just wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea on how much to pay for the brick work on a small building we want done.

its 8.06m x 3.2m internal thermal block and outside normal brick with a 100mm cavity. will also have one large window the same width as a garage door and about 1.5m tall and a normal door.

me and a mate are planning on digging the footings and doing all the concrete work just need to get a brickie in to lay the bricks and dont want to end up paying through the teeth, we did have a quote for someone to do the whole job from start to finish and it was close on 16k with seems alot more than i was expecting.

cheers les.

 

Lee Reynolds would probably be the best person to ask on here mate.

 

what sort of roof was you planning on using?

 

Assuming the height of the walls are appx 2.450m high then about Ł3500

 

would that be including materials or just labour?

 

labour rssteve

 

Less than 2k brick - openings ,less than 350 blocks. just brickwork and blockwork,labour round here would be Ł450 per 1k bricks and 12 quid per m2 blocks .

So thats roughly 400quid blockwork and 900 quid for brickwork, bit for setting out and scafolding ,tressels would do a single story ,



thats presuming the building is 3.2 projection and 8m wide ,3 sides as an extension ,if its a free standing building then add on the 1k as lee has roughly quoted

yeah i went above as the description isnt the best, so if he gets it cheaper then its a bonus to him lol!

Although we charge 15 per m blockwork for thermalites as you have to joint them

 

thats about what i thought tbh 3.5k as it is freestanding, what do you reckon on material costs for the job?

many thanks for your help so far mate

les.

 

I do think youll get it cheaper though pal. Like i say i just went slightly above..

Materials depends. I think iirc thermalites are about 11 quid a meter and then bricks can be anything from 250 quid per 000 onwards...average is 350 inc vat...

 

thanks mate you've been a great help, at least know what im looking at now.

 

no worries...
