TomTom 1 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 post Share on other sites
Rich 2 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 post Share on other sites

Rich 2 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 post Share on other sites
