Labour is workers × elapsed days × day rate. Two workers for 5 elapsed days is 10 worker-days.
Materials & direct costs
Bricks, mortar, etc. — your own figure, not an estimate.

Labour. Worker-days = workers × elapsed job days. Labour cost = worker-days × your day rate.
Base cost. Labour plus materials, plant/equipment, travel, and waste/other direct costs.
Suggested quote. Base cost plus your chosen markup. Markup is a percentage added on top of base cost — it is not the same as margin, which is a percentage of the final price.
Elapsed days vs worker-days.Elapsed days is how long the job runs; worker-days is that duration multiplied by the number of workers. The calculator keeps the two distinct so you are pricing the crew's total time, not just one person's week.
This is a planning and quoting aid. Use your own costs and rates, and adjust the result to fit the job and your business.

Common questions about the bricklaying job quote calculator
How is the bricklaying quote calculated?
Labour is your number of workers multiplied by the elapsed job days and the day rate. That is added to your materials, plant, travel, and other direct costs to make the base cost. Your chosen markup is then added on top. The result is built entirely from your own numbers.
What is the difference between elapsed days and worker-days?
Elapsed days is how long the job runs. Worker-days is that duration multiplied by the number of workers — so 2 workers for 5 elapsed days is 10 worker-days. The calculator multiplies and shows the worker-days used for labour cost.
Is the markup the same as margin?
No. Markup is a percentage added on top of your base cost. Margin is a percentage of the final price and is calculated differently. The calculator clearly labels its markup step to avoid confusion.
Do I need an account to use the calculator?
No. The calculator works without signup, email, or payment details. You can use it on your phone and print or save the result as a PDF.
