As far as I know a lot charge per brick. Currently going to build myself and I am going through a contractor. Was advised by my architect that I could do it myself but I wouldn't see major savings and would find it a lot more stressful.

From what I have been told also brickies are one of the highest rising costs in the building trade as they are in big demand.

Typical...When I get sorted prices rise.
I'm just trying to find out the best option.
Looks like it could be a contractor but will put it out for pricing to see what returns I get. Thanks for replying.
