Can anyone give me an approximate cost to build a breezeblock wall 100ft long by about 15ft high.

I need to split a building that is 8000sq ft in to 2 x 4000 sq ft by putting up a central dividing wall.

I have no idea of the cost of bricks or mortar but im guessing a brickey will be £100 per day but how many brick can they lay? or how long would it take to build it?

Does it need to be brick?, could it be stud partition and plasterboard, usually quicker and cheaper.

Brickies round our way charge per brick laid, not a daily rate. Going rate for bricks is around £300 per 1000 laid, plus materials, but will obviously be different for blockwork. Give a brickie a ring!

You could try http://www.whatprice.co.uk

But as has been mentioned unless you really do need it to be blockwork, there are cheaper and faster ways to create a partition.

What are my other options apart from bricks and stud partition?

By stud I assume the poster was referring to 2x4 wood beams with plasterboard over the top. You can get more instant clip together style panels that go in to a metal framework.

If it's just to create a divide, get in touch with a local Partioning Services Company and they will be able to advise. If you need to provide sound / heat separation between the 2 areas, you may need to seek more traditional methods, such as stud or block.

We usually charge about £40/m2 for 100mm blockwork and £50/m2 for studwork with plasterboard both sides.

I'd say you're unlikely to get a bricky for £100/day. We typically charge ours out at about £180/day. When there's a lot of work on in the area, it can cost over £200/day just to get a bricky in.

HTH.
