Cultered Stone Work- How Much..?


Hello fellow contractors..
I am a general contractor in south-eastern Ontario. A masonry contractor I have my choices of but, securing a labour price seems to be an undaunting task with prices recieved from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Is there anyone here on this forum that might provide some insight for us as to what range I might be looking at.
This is for labour only, exterior residential to 16feet/Ht.

Any/all input would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

Peter, to be frank and to save you a lot of time, these questions are not usually answered around here for people with just one post. If you look through the last few pages of posts, you will notice lots and lots of people asking pricing questions, and very few real answers except to those who have demonstrated themselves a part of this community. So pull up a chair start engaging in the conversations here on the forum... and start sharing what you know. If you do this you will soon become aware of the general protocol and become suspicious of posts such as yours.

So good luck...

3.50 a square foot just so you know.

Decimal in wrong position. Move it to the right one place and your right on top of it.

The range you are looking at usually varies...

Either that or an Amana Radar.

Hope this helps.

Peter, what you've posted doesn't add up. If you're a GC as you've said, then your mason will tell you the rate. If you don't like what he says, then you're free to get other bids.

If you're a mason, as your profile says, you need to start here:

If you're a homeowner, please start here:

Thanks.
