Can I have some advice please? We have a half finished self build that we have literally self built (ie no builders). We have the bedroom floors in and signed off by BC but we don't think we can do any more on it ourselves for various reasons.
I have had a builder look at it with a view to giving me a price. He reckoned it would take two weeks to get it to wall plate and another month to put the roof on it, eight weeks total max. I got the impression it was just going to be him doing the bricklaying and his mate labouring.
It's big but the upstairs is smaller than the downstairs although the two single storey bits have to have roofs put on them.
How much does a brickie charge per day please and how much does a labourer cost to assist him please. I can't work out if I had underestimated the cost of getting it finished, if they have priced it high because they don't want the job or if what they have quoted is about right?
Any advice greatly received. I could probably work out on the back of a fag packet how many square meters of actual masonry there is if necessary.
