Take down you phone number unless you want to be thrown off the forum Petre. This site doesn't allow people to advertise for work.
Its a money saving website so if you have any advice you would be welcomed , but if your just here to advertise then you won't be here for long...0 -
Hi sog
Do not automatically dismiss daywork. The reason being your blocks are laid flat. Brickies love this on price work - they can build at vast speed without much levelling and plumbing up. Often a lower rate is not given for blocks flat, or if it is then it can be nominal.
If you get an overall price make sure it is for blocks laid flat.

A quote from elsewhere on day work:-
being paid by the hour, or “day work” as it is known in the construction industry, can be a sure-fire way of guaranteeing that work expands – a phenomenon humorously described as Parkinson’s Law in 1955.
My advice would be always to get a fixed price.
I am baffled by your comments about when laying blocks flat there needs to be less attention paid to being level and plumb.
I have laid many thousands of bricks and blocks and the principles are the same for any construction which is to be accurately finished.0
