---

The city centre is set for another slew of new residential towers, office revamps and venues, but the construction...
Your brother might want to stockpile materials if he hasn't already done so.

Interestingly after reading your link £600 a day for brickies does not surprise me. Supply and demand and all that. Which kinda ties in with what my brothers demanding and getting up here in the N.E of Scotland. Whilst it’s not enough to make me give up my day job it’s good to know there’s something to fall back on if I get made redundant or want to give up the off-shore game altogether. I simply cannot work in an office.

I have turned down 10 site jobs in the last week for cardiff city centre. Contractors asking what will it take £ to get you on site which is unheard of in 30 years.

I like the tassel option, so you can pull it back out again in case it gets lost.

What sort of money are they talking about? I'm told Brickie's are £250-£280/day around here on site work. Money I've never heard of for site work before.

Be around the same eggs and this is south wales not london or south of england mind. Bristol which is not far from me is paying more again.

London is a different place, and East Anglia isn't the same as the south.
