orite men.could any1 tell me when u do a price job do u get payed by the square metre.or just metre?
 
Nowadays most firms pay by the linear meter especially on new build (bricklayers lifts) usually only to the foot print of the building IE: the plan dimensions, so you don't get paid for corners. Something which needs to be agreed before the spanners come out as the rate per meter after 3 lifts high.

Never herd of prices per m2 but lot of jobs were and probably still are priced by "the square" which is a 10' x 10' section of scaffold . A 6' 6" base lift with 3'6" to the top handrail is 10' high and each 10' section along the horizontal represents one square therefore 20' x 3 lifts = 6 square . once again the price needs to take into consideration working lifts IE; fully boarded and once again increase after 3 lifts .:blink1:
 
On price work you get paid by the metre or some firms still pay by the foot you can't beat it
 
Cuz,

You will find that most the UK street work is priced in linear metre runs, then the applied percentage increases with height etc. It's ship yards and offshore that tend to use M2 (even ft2) due to the amount hangers and dance floors that are built as it is priced on the boarded area only. Overseas, formwork/falsework and topside fabrication will normally use M3.

Cheers,
Phil.
 
so its not square metre .just metre?

Usually linear meters , the point I was trying to make is not to confuse square meters with a the old scaffolders square 10' x 10'= 3m x 3m in new money (not to be found on any CAD software) otherwise you may get your arse well and truly warmed :cry:
 
we pay scaffold run meterage and no increase until 6th lift then 50% on way down
we run a few price gangs on street work and site
