Blocklaying prices

[Kevvfr]

Hi, I'm wondering how much are blocks to lay approx, it's for an extension and there will be limestone on the outside...the stone is already cut and in bags.
It's in County Galway and also if anyone knows how much stonemasons charge per metre,
Thanks.

Just the regular 100mm ones

On bigger jobs you’d be taking between €1-€1.20 per block layed.the bricklayers would have a lad loading up and mixing for him
So you’d have too factor that in too.

This is from boards.ie (September 2022):

2200 for 800 6 inch cavity, s boundary wall with 4 piers and capping. 2.75 per block, labour only. Serious inflation over last few years..

and I've heard that locally to me, block layers are charging €2.50 per block (labour only).

God be with the day when they cost 50c to 60c a block to be laid.

When you can get them! Can't get anyone around here to take on jobs like this for the past 6 months.
