Can anyone give me a rough guide as to how many bricks a bricklayer should
be able to lay in an hour/day/week, whatever it is measured in if working at
a moderate pace? Assume the wall to have good access, be single skin,
nothing complicated, and about 2m high.
Many thanks.


300 a day? or is it 3000?

Hmm 7.5 hours, that's 40 an hour, or about 1 minute 30 seconds per
brick...sounds slow...400 an hour (3000 a day) would be one every 9
seconds...do-able on a long straight run with a labourer and a skilled
bricky.

I'd say 1000 a day is on, but 3000 is pushing it.
