TABLE IV
LABOR PRICES PER THOUSAND BRICK FOR
FOUR CLASSES OF BRICK BUILDINGS
| Part of Building | Class 1 | Class 2 | Class 3 | Class 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basement | $ 7.50 | $ 7.50 | $ 8.50 | $ 9.50 |
| First floor | 8.00 | 9.00 | 10.50 | 13.50 |
| Second floor | 8.50 | 10.00 | 11.00 | 14.00 |
| Third floor | 9.00 | 10.50 | 11.50 | 14.50 |
| Fourth floor | 9.50 | 11.00 | 12.00 | 15.00 |
| Fifth floor | 10.00 | 11.50 | 12.50 | 15.50 |
| Sixth floor | 11.00 | 12.00 | 13.00 | 16.00 |
The prices in the table include the cost of mortar. If the cost of brick at building is added, the result will be the total cost of brickwork exclusive of scaffolding. The average price of total brick labor in buildings of class 1 is $8.50; of class 2, $9.50; of class 3, $11.50; and of class 4, $14.
37. The following miscellaneous brick prices, including labor and mortar, but not brick, are from the same source as the prices given in the preceding article, and are based on the same condition, the prices being in bricks per thousand:
| For heavy basement walls and similar masses | |
| of brickwork | $ 7.00 |
| For 18-inch brick walls not over two or three | |
| stories high, in hard brick with struck joints | 8.00 |
| Same as above, but for 13-inch walls | 9.00 |
| For 18-inch brick walls, as above, but faced | |
| on one side with pressed brick | 12.00 |
| For 18-inch brick walls, as above, but faced on | |
| both sides with pressed brick | 16.50 |
| For 13-inch brick walls, as above, but faced | |
| one side with pressed brick | 14.00 |
| For 13-inch brick walls, as above, but faced | |
| both sides with pressed brick | 14.00 |
| Add to above, if of English or Flemish | |
| bond, on entire cost of wall | .50 |
| If work is broken up into light piers, requiring | |
| a lot of plumbing, add to cost of wall as above | 1.50 |
| If a large number of segmental arches must | |
| be turned, add to total cost of wall | 1.00 |
In addition to the preceding schedule two useful rules to remember are: For pressed-brick segmental arches, add for labor 1½ times the cost of bricks; for pressed-brick arches requiring radial brick, add for labor twice the cost of straight, pressed brick. As radial brick are shipped to the building in barrels and have to be unpacked and laid out on the full-sized diagram on the floor, it will be found that the rate given is not excessive.
