Nope... it doesn't include anything. In fact the second storey is charged at $1.50 per brick. I've read here some of the OBs have managed to find much lower rates. Ive had no such luck. I also don't want to sacrifice accuracy as my doors and windows will be retrofit so walls and openings need to be accurate.
Atleast the second floor is now timber.
We supply everything on top of that rate too but very happy with our brickwork so no complaints here. Sometimes you do get what you pay for. Looking at some of the brickwork on other project built houses locally my bricklayer commented that it looks like kindergarten children have done it!
Couldn't agree more about getting extra quotes. Have you you been finding it hard to get people to get back to you though? I know we have.
Keep the progress and photos coming, it's great!
