Cost of installing edgings

[Tony McC]

I'm trying to help out a manufacturer of "alternative" edgings in assessing the economic viability of their products compared to more traditional edgings. However, a big part of the problem is the HUGE variation is labour rates the length and breadth of the country.

So: can anyone from anywhere in the country help by giving me a typical supply and fix rate for the following in their own locality:?

Timber 4 x 1� (100 x 25mm?) and 6 x 1� (147 x 25mm)
Assume 50x50x450 stakes at 1m centres

Concrete kerbs 6" x 2" (150x50mm FT edgings on 100mm concrete bed and haunch)

Brick edging (4�? haunched)
(200x100x50mm CBP laid 100mm wide on 100mm concrete bed and haunch)

The idealised project is to be a 400m running track, so 2 x 100m straights and 2 x 100m curves. Apparently, we're only looking at the inside edge.

PM or email me if you don't want to publicise any costings and, as ever, total confidentiality is assured.

concrete edgings we used to get one pound fifty an edging .that was on a good run .that was a few years ago too .say around 2002 .i dont think it will have changed much on a site .2.50 max.(housing site )

key kerbs we got 6 pound a metre(off the firm with the helicopter).so you could say same for brick edgings
