Brickies, Brickies, Brickies....

I have decided on the brickie we will use, after discussing the job with three possibilities. The base prices varied from A$800 to A$1100 per 1000 laid (+GST). We have taken the middle quote, and that brickie also comes with good references from a source we trust. On top of this, he told me that he "batches" his mortar (i.e. measures the mix with buckets/boxes to get consistancy). Batching is often not done, but it should be.
