Hi Johnnie,
The price for blockwork will vary according to the material you are specifying, the type of project you’re undertaking, in which part of the UK you are building, where the materials are coming from (would you buy locally or will you pay for transport?) etc.
I’d suggest you try our Self Build Cost Calculator and input the many variants for your specific project.
We have a few articles on our website that could be of help, too.

Our guide to thin-joint masonry explains the benefits of this construction system, including a speedy build (which could result in less hour of labour to pay). You can also find information on Insulating Concrete Formwork (ICF).
You can also browse our company finder for structural systems and get in touch with them directly to request a quotes and compare like-for-like.
Hope this helps.
