Day rate for builder Dublin.

Mr Bob

What is the average day rate for a builder through the books and cash in hand?

"Builder" is a loose term.

Mr Bob

Sorry, don't know what the correct term is for such an individual.

It is for someone who will knock down an old extension and build the new extension and roof it, but not do the plumbing/electricity but will plaster the walls.

15-20+VAT/hr

OK will do. Will get a fixed quote so.

how will you guarantee that the new extension is built to a higher standard than the existing? perhaps a specification by a local arch or eng would be worth the piece of mind? and to keep the works legal / built to Building regs

Mr Bob

Spoke to him again and he said he can do a fixed price quote, but that I'd probably pay more, and it would not be as flexible as per day.

He said it would cost 16k +/- 3k for labour at fixed price and that I could pick and choose what I wanted when I wanted or 18k (ex vat) for a fixed price and that I can't change my mind after certain parts had been completed.

His day rate is 150, while with a fixed price it would have to be through the books so would be more expensive.

Am awaiting a quote from 3 other builders, but none of them said they would do a day rate.

I am looking for a builder (or handyman) working on daily rate. Because I have different jobs.

If anybody has information, please PM me. Thanks.

Builders in the current climate don’t work on day rates.
What are the jobs?
Will a handyman suffice or do you need different trades?

A handyman is OK as long as he has multi-skills. Thanks.

Handyman Dublin rates €300 per day. Cash would be illegal.

Why would it be illegal ??

Cash as in not pay revenue on income.

Thsts called cash in hand and its not illegal either you pay them upto them to declare it.
Cash is still legal tender.

Martin I will not be splitting hairs here. Just because you are on the rock and roll and doing cash jobs doesn’t mean we all do it.
