Mike_scotland Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Hello everyone, Does anyone know the rough m2 rate for the "outer skin" breeze blocks on a timberframe house? I'm wanting to go down a timberframe house route with a outer skin of breeze block then rendered. Thanks in advance. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 14 minutes ago, Mike_scotland said: They are not cheap brickies, did you buy all materials separate? need to check but I’m sure it’s somewhere between £2.25 and £3.10 per block laid in Spons, or £22.50 to £31.00 per square metre. Average house has about 200sqm of external facing so you’re at £4,500 to £6,200 or thereabouts. Not that bad in the big scheme of things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 The problem with bricklayers is most sites are paying a guaranteed daily rate regardless of weather Just to retain staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eandg Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I've been quoted £18/m2 for labour for blockwork (in Glasgow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishjohn Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 If you going to render why blockwork on outside of your TF house to then cover ? like exterior insulation then mesh and render onto that --plenty of other systems all the load for the house is going through the TF --not exterior skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
