No bricklayers on our site are working past 3:301:30 Friday . Forklift driver is away 4 latest , cabins get locked all by 4 so if you need drying room you need them to ask them to open back up (South Yorkshire )
Pretty confident that I could put the joist and floor on in a day on my own. I'm not a chippie, but it's only space out and nail. And wrap around the brickwork lift in 2 days. 2+1 Gone by 3:30 every day though of course 😂

most site i go on single joiner 2 days to put floor on then takes us 4 days for brick and block on a semi detached depending on site and lifts they do we get 21 course down and 9 course block 3 bricki no hoddi but i could not agree more its always us who get the deadline and everything is urgent
Us brickies always seem to get the pressure. If we leave early everyone kicks off, a roof tiler goes at 2pm and no one says a word.........frustrating! We are normally allocated 2 days to do a pair of joist lifts, a day to load and a day to build
In 50 years ive never heard off 7.30 to 4.30, ive not worked on site for 20 year's but did for years and it was always 8 till 4 with two half hour breaks and half day Friday's if we were on price. Nowadays i do 8 till 3 with one half hour break. Winter it's dark at 4pm ??
We do 8 til 3 but we just have 10 minutes break around 11 up on the scaff, works better for traffic and its the same hours as anyone else when you consider brewtimes
We have always done 7:30 to 4:30, get a good start is vital to a good day! 8 o'clock is way to late, that half hour makes a huge difference as you can get sorted, muck on scaffold before other trades arrive
I've always struggled with small breaks, always like my breaks at 10am and 1pm for half hour, always found I faded to much in the afternoon if I didn't stop at 1pm
@A and D Group Ltd -Brickwork & Property Developers can't argue about the good start, in our case its simply a mix of habit and all our jobs are sat around ring roads at the moment, been a year since we've had less than an hours drive and we're soft like that. Still get there around quarter to so it's tools out at 8 rather than parking up at 8 but, semantics. Think we've all noticed that we do our best graft before 1pm too hah
We're 8 to 5 in Ireland and 4 on a Friday.. If you go home earlier you'll be docked... carpenters are getting about 21 euros an hour working for someone and a dumper driver gets 20 an hour... only brings a lunch box carpenters supply there own tools.. electricians take home over 800 a week in the hand if your 5 years out of your time.. subbies are obviously on a different wage because your on price..as a carpenter I try get 250 a day locally and charge a bit extra going elsewhere... but people go mad they want to give you 120 a day in the hand .. which is madness if your trying to run your own business
Regardless of which trade makes the most, it seems brickies certainly moan the most about money. Money seems to be the only reason a lot of brickies are in the game.
2 days joinery and 3 for bricks, seen plenty of joiners do them in 1 day but seen more take 2-3. If they take any longer than 2 then they arent making any money at all
We normally get two days, a day to load and a day to build. All I can say is chippies must get a damn good rate per m2 as they don't ever seem to do them in a couple of days
@A and D Group Ltd -Brickwork & Property Developers its not that good for floors up here, 200-300 per, going g off what little I've been told. our lads seem to much prefer first fixes
@@dasnomaden Never known anything it in all honesty, some chippie can do a pair in a day but quite unusual. We only get a day to do the 2nd lift scaffold ready for the joist to go on 🤯
@A and D Group Ltd -Brickwork & Property Developers nothing worse than schedules tighter than a nuns crutch, we've had it before where scaffolders get longer to lift it than we do to ring it, each and every time the foreman looks at you like you're speaking Dutch when you say it's not being done that fast 😅 some plots take half a dozen different materials up just to do joists; facings, engineering, commons, concretes, thermals, lintels, everything! Forkie hates us on those days. Recently done a job with cills, jambs and heads, mullions on the wider windows, can take 2 hours just getting them together to lift up. Luckily the site was quiet so the forkie was quick. Different story on a site with half a dozen gangs all wanting drops.
I used to do that but then I noticed sometimes it would catch up with me, say the forklift broke down or crane was in the way! So I used to just work a full day every day regardless and enjoy a day off if it rained
1 1/2 days for a joiner put floor on a pair,bricklayers are put under tightest deadlines dare a hard working family man have a few days off for an unpaid holiday, the agent will have a right sulk and tell stacker give you a tub last !!!!

A and D and their best friend G&F still charge 20 quid to get paid every two weeks? Fair play to Kev Wiskin and Josh Cooper for paying properly with non of this greedy thing where you take 40 quid a month off every bloke on site 👍
G&F are our friends, they are our competitor and they are a good outfit that have been around for a long time. I have no issue with them, they do a good job. You know we don't deduct or keep the money right? Not sure where the greed comes in
And I assume these subbies you work for check your public liability and make sure you are IR35 compliant, everyone is legally allowed to work in the UK, verify all subbies etc etc or do they just ignore that and pay your invoices.
Fantastic naught naughty from Terry 😆😆😆😆 your spot on buddy on what mentioned. Av said prior there can’t be a more efficient brickwork scaffold firm out there. Joist should be done in a day. If not need to get more boys in. 1 day 1/2 shift tops. Too hot 🥵 must admit hate the heat but christ get the factor 50 on and hat keep sun off face. Plenty water no issues. Just to much jealousy out there buddy that’s all.

Site I’m on ain’t selling but when I leave at 3.30 they tell me wall plate needs to be bedded crane is coming in the morning 😂
classic. How about the chippie wants at least 3 roofs to book a crane, then leaves one chippie on them for 7 days 🤣
