How Long For Brick Layers To Build A 4 Bed House ?

[redgriff500]

Hi guys I'm trying to work out if the prices I'm getting for my new 4 bed are reasonable.

Bricklayers are mentioning prices like £320/1000 and £12/m2 blocks and £300 per day for a 2+1 gang which all sounds very reasonable BUT then they are quoting £7k (3 different gangs, pricing 3 different ways)

The house is double fronted (Gross Int exc. garage and loft 1675 ft2) but has large bays and lots of windows so I have calculated it at only 8000 bricks and looking at it I can see (exc blocks for the minute) that there is no way I'd get a B layer to build it for £2560 or in 8.5 days so what is the £320/1000 rate on about ?

Hence I'd like an idea of how long it takes to see whether the prices are reasonable.

Thanks

Thanks but I understand that in theory...

but when I calc it out on the rates given (including blockwork) I get £5700 and they are quoting £6500-7500

I have heard that some quote on a wall as though it had no windows which seems a bit biased.
