Brick laying prices

Hi everyone

I have a smallish brick laying job and want to get an idea of what a reasonable cost is.

My verandah has 7 steel support posts that I would like to build brick pillars around up to 11 courses high. I also want to build walls between 4 of the posts also at 11 course height. Essentially about 700 bricks to lay. What do you think this would cost for labour only?

I am using the Caversham hand made bricks from Midland brick, so they are a fairly irregular shape.

Also, is there anybody in the Stirling area that could do this sort of thing in the next few months?

Cheers

Brad

 Hey Bradz I've been a bricklayer for 25 years building houses mostly for Dale Alcock. I generally work in the central suburbs and currently building a house in Stirling. I don't normally put my hand up for any work outside of my normal job but don't mind doing the odd quick one. Sounds like your job is fairly straight forward so if you need a bricklayer, I'd be happy to help. 

Steve.

Hi guys

Cheers for the responses.  I will be doing the job in the next few months so will keep the numbers for then.

All responses including PM's have been around the same $$$ so its good to see there is some consistency.

Enjoy the long weekend everyone.

Brad
