I agree, but he will need a *lot* of sand and cement mixing to do

to get someone in to do it, although for such a project, my prices

work out at approximately £20 per square metre...he may find

locally.



Current BCIS guideprice for removing and replacing level paving with

500 mm?

precast concrete flags is just over £40/m2 excluding VAT, including
all
necessary excavation, sub-base, etc. Assuming his 60 metres square
means 60
m2, that's a tidy sum. Mind you, if he means 60 metres by 60 metres,
that's
the best part of an acre, and it would be damned expensive.
