Guidance with labour and material costs for my concrete bric

Hi there, I’ve posted a job online and I’m getting all sorts of different quotes for labour and material costs.

I am hoping someone can offer me some guidance with the following:

1. If the materials I have worked out looks about right.

2. What sort of timeframe the job can be achieved in, say with two bricklayers. (Ie. 12 hours, 2 days, 3 days with 2 people or one full day with 3 etc)

3. What I should be expecting to pay for such a job.

4. What should I expect to pay a good bricklayer as a day rate.

The materials required have been calculated as follows:

MATERIAL: approx. $1200 (inc. GST) which consist of

• Concrete blocks x 125 (2/3rds are 390x190x190 and other 1/3 are 390x190x90)

• for mortar (10 bags of cement + 2 bags of lime)

• for footings (10-12 bags of cement)

• for cement to be poured into concrete blocks (12 bags of cement)

• steel rods for footings (16 rods: 300mm x 12mm)

• steel rods to be put through the cement blocks from top to bottom (16 rods: 2100 x 12mm)
