190 mm solid block price walled?

[Byron Littlefair]

Hi, I’ve just been asked to price a job up in an industrial unit which consists mostly of 190 mm solid blocks (22 newtons) and that is the type and size of block which has been stipulated must be used. I was just wondering if anyone has any recent experience of walling these and knows an estimate price that I should be charging the customer for them walled per m2 as I haven’t come across this type of size block before?   
Cheers

Are they even legal to use nowadays under health and safety ?

unless you have a team of dedicated brickies I think you will struggle to get anybody to want to work with them, I certainly wouldn’t lay them.

I’m a brickie my self mate and I don’t fancy walling them tbh either. I will ask the question of if they are legal or not. The size of them seem a bit overkill to me. If that’s what’s stipulated and they are legal any one laying them wants a hell of price for them due to the shear size of them, back breaking stuff. Thanks for your comments anyway.

Hollow blocks with concrete fill ???

block on the flat ???

we had to use them as a divider in our workshop -up to 8ft with butress  --then metal stud wall up to roof 

absolute back breaker to work with 

blocks on the flat would be easier in hindsight
