How much roughly if i provided the slabs would it cost to have a 10m2 dug out and paved. The slabs will be 600x600.

I think my builder might be trying to get one over me. I need to double check with him but i think he wants between £350-£500

Thanks

Quite a bit of time and effort involved if done properly. The quote doesn't sound that bad if it includes the hardcore, sand, cement, etc.?

300-500 sounds bang on mine cost £700

doesn't it depend on how many bodies you need concealing?

Check the cost include skip(s) hire to take away the spoil + all other materials such as sand and cement - it looks cheap to me.

If it includes materials, it sounds a bit on the low side to me.

Sounds like a good price to me. £100 for materials and £200 a piece if there are two of them @£500, shouldn't take more than half a day. £350 and you've got a deal would be my advice to you

Sounds about right to me for a fairly small job like that.

Most general ground workers I know charge £250 - £300 for a days work.

Depends on whether the fella is going to just rake over the ground and throw some sand down, or lay a proper hard core base, compact down then dry sand cement mix, brush kiln dried sand into gaps?

First option - expensive
Second option - cheap if done properly.

Mine is a similar size..

It cost £600 around 3 years ago..

Depends on materials,i had ours done in Indian stone so it was a little more expensive.


If you give a few more details,a more accurate estimate could be given.
