TomTom Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi guys,I've been doing my driveway, basically removing a few hundred tonnes of dirt, levelling and then 8" of crushed concrete ready for a gravel finish. Been happy doing this myself but needed a brickie to build some piers.Can you give me an idea on how many 4ft piers I can expect one brickie to build a day? there's about 108 bricks per pier. No labourer, but bricks are laid out next to each location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hey TomTomA good brickie should be able to lay 1000+ bricks a day, but thats with a labourer. If he has to keep stopping to mix up more muck, then you might only be looking at half that figure.So possibly, 5 peirs a day as a rough guess I'd say, or rent a mixer for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 1,000 a day building piers? You're are hard taskmaster DIY Guy:DNo, sorry, thats 1000 a day under normal brick laying circumstances, such as walls. Doing peirs on his own, and having no labourer, around 500 a day would not be asking a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
