Anyone got a figure for this in area, need to check how it compares to metal sheeting for a garage wall.

Materials only or complete? Also what type/thickness of block, single skin/cavity wall etc.
For reference 10 standard size concrete blocks = 1sq/m.

Single skin is fine using 100x215x440 blocks. Cant see metal framing being cheaper.

Up here a bricklayer will want about £10 a metre as long as there is a decent amount to go at, possibly a bit more, that's labour only though so you've got to figure in blocks, sand, cement etc too.

The plot is 40ft x 60ft but that's getting a bit silly for price, trying to do something big as cheaply as possible.

What are you wanting it for?
I know you said garage but is it just storage, workspace etc?

Planning are happy as it's to replace an existing building rather than increasing any area.

Can't do the whole plot, too expensive.
Blockwork looks to be cheaper to buy the blocks but I wasn't sure how much to factor in for other supplies and labour.
Metal sheeting we could do but I wouldn't fancy brickwork.

down here i would pay a bricklayer with labourer about £240 a day he would lay approx 10-12m2 in a day i would guess. its twice as fast as bricks. Block themselves would be £8-£10 per metre square. Sand and Cement and fixings i would budget at £5 per m2 dependant on your requirements and the job.
dependant on use id suggest a raft foundation if its for cars?

Up here you'd be looking at an all in rate of between £25-£30/m2 for blockwork

when i worked for a housing developer it was labour only £15 for blockwork and £30 for brickwork but they were very large developements. i would assume this rate would be correct for the smaller kind of project labour only although a bricklayer would prob price it in days

That rate I mentioned would be labour and materials, I tender at between £20-£25 depending upon type and size of job
