Brickies in East Yorkshire

[jayc89]

Planning permission's in, all being well we plan/hope to break ground in March, once the worst of winter's over. I'll be doing the groundworks myself, along with a couple of friends, but I want to get the professionals in for the brick and block work, as that's probably a DIY stretch too far.

 

I have a couple of well known, local, brickies lined up to get a price from once we get the planning permission back, is there anyone on here who can recommend any other brickes in the East Yorkshire area that I should also contact?

Thanks!

Your better waiting till you know a definite start date 

Most of the good trade are booked for at least twelve months But jobs do get hit with delays Puts you in a good position if you have a job ready to go 

Especially if it’s a few weeks cash

That's the fine balance I'm trying to strike. I don't want to waste peoples time until the foundations are in, or at least we know when they will be in, but equally we want to get someone booked in as soon as feasibly possible because we know all the good trades get booked up quickly.

I run a dry lining-Framing business With tailing company also

Fully booked till Easter 2023 

Two TF companies have gone bust Causing a delay of 6 weeks I have work for the three gangs earmarked But probably would place them elsewhere if something fell into my lap 

There is always delays More so now with material shortages 

I’d concentrate on getting your bricks ordered and have everything in place

Makes sense. As soon as the technical drawings are ready I'll be putting the materials out to tender, we have plenty of space to store stuff which will hopefully put us in a better position to take advantage of any delays/cancelations on other jobs.

Sounds like a plan
