Bricking up window

you have to think carefully about how long it is going to take you to do. multiply the amount of hours by how much you value your time . if you are supplying materials add the cost of them at an uplifted rate that you consider appropriate .no business buys and sells at the same price. adding 10 to 15 % just to cover the handling / sourcing and financing the buying with your money is perfectly reasonable .

 

Jonathan ,you are not in the far east are you mate ? or are you doing it as a favour for a mate ? I would bite your hand off .

 

Do you have to tooth the bricks in or can you just leave it straight jointed.

What type of window is in place at the mo.

Is it ground floor with clear access inside and out.

Do they want you to plaster the inside.

 

lf your happy fine .gonna be an education for you and good experience. good luck with it mate.

 

A garage with bricks and blocks.???

 

Ok, window out, bricks and blocks in, use some Bluebird ties to support both bricks and blocks, leave site clean and tidy, £200/250 plus any expenses.

Bluebird tie, just in case you don't know.

 

For heaven's sake.

You have never taken a window out, and you don't know how long it will take to brick up a window.

In what way are you qualified?

 

Lovely. So you've never taken a window out(or know how to and how long it might take).
And you've never laid a window full of brick/blocks(and you don't know how long that will take).

And you're qualified?

Heh. I'm more qualified than you, and I've got NO paperwork!

Didn't you lay a single brick at college?

 

Thanks for the sympathy, but remember, I just asked 'in what way are you qualified'?

And you are asking how much to charge. As you are not supplying materials, then it is your time. You seem to have no idea of how long it might take, I therefore assume that your qualification is pointless. You surely have some idea of how long something like this could take. Otherwise, you have wasted your learning time, or cheated!
