These prices are way out...maybe if I was supplying the flags, then yes, but
these are already on site...60 square metres would take me no longer than
6 - 7 days working alone and I would need to buy a couple of tonnes of sand
and about £50 worth of cement...the ground is already excavated, prepared
and compacted.



Assuming

his 60m2 would equate to almost two and half grand by those prices, I could
do it for about half that and still make £150+ per day.
