Labour costs

3 December 2012

I am planning on building a conservatory 3.5m x 4m, and a local firm has quoted a price of £4,250 for labour only to lay the foundations, concrete slab, drainage and erect the conservatory – I will buy the kit myself. The quote excludes finishings. Does this sound reasonable?

Answers

You should pay between £100 and £120 per day per person for this type of work, so the £4,250 covers about 38 working days and that sounds reasonable.
