Can anyone provide a potential cost to clad this in brick please

[Post and beam]

I am beginning to gather info on my potential house build. I believe i need about 7500 bricks. Bear in mind that i dont know what i am doing though.

As a guide to quantities the house is 200 sq M and 14.5 metres wide.

Location is north Hertfordshire.

Rough guide here. You'll be anywhere between 50p and £1.50 a brick depending on what you want (common bricks through to handmade). Not knowing labour costs in your area budget for £1 per brick laid (N.B. usually costed to include the openings, so maybe 20% more or £9k). Plus then £800-1200 for ancillaries (lintels, dpc, weep vents, sand, cement).

Are you a brickie? does my guess at 7500 bricks seem reasonable looking at my drawings?

I am a brickie and that sounds about right. Ive not measured anything today yet so if you gave me the dims  or a ground floor plan and also ground floor window and door sizes I can have a quick look for you. Are they herringbone panels on the front ?

Hi Canski, Yes herringbone. The one on the far right has been deleted. The kind of costings i am looking for are for the quantities of bricks and price to lay them. Not for supply, unless that turns out to be the right way to go.

Well done !  I make it 6959 at a rough guess add 5% cutting and waste gives you 7307.  I'm sure you're aware that your ground floor plan doesn't match your elevations ? @eandgis about right with pricing for my area.

Yes dude, there have been a few alterations to windows. The TF company made some choices of their own regarding where and what size we might want windows. There may well be a few more minor alterations as well.

Your number is very precise.

I guess you noticed the 'plinth' bricks.

So if i can get bricks delivered kerb side Inc Vat @ £1.20 each and then that much again for the fit i should have a reasonable price guide for this part of the job.

By the way there is a huge inglenook as well.

I missed the plinth that would be a small extra lin m rate but should be covered in previous rates. Add the inglenook bricks to my calcs.  Zero rated VAT on new housing.

Thanks dude. Your help is duly noted. I mentioned the location of the plot for a reason.
