We are currently identifying blocklayers for our new build, and we are wondering what the norm is with regards to pricing... is it more normal to be charged a price per block, or to be charged a price per day?
As I see it, as I will be buying the blocks, I will know exactly how many blocks have gone into the build and thus will know exactly how much I should be charged. Whereas, with a charge-per-day agreement, I believe there is room for me to be ripped off, as I work fulltime and will not always be around on the site to see whether the builders have put in full days or not.
Am I correct in thinking that the price per block is a "safer" method to agree to?
I'd like to hear opinions from others regarding the pros and cons of both pricing methods.
thanks,
