Cast stone labor estimating

[LB Masonry Inc]

We are starting a brick house, and the owner of the house is adding a lot of cast stone pieces. He has cast stone pieces running vertically up every corner of the house, and around all window and door openings. What is a good ballpark figure to charge for labor for that kind of extra work? per linear foot? per piece? help!!

How did you bid the original work? If you just gave him a general labor price, how much more work will adding the cast pieces take?

If it were me, I would just figure how much more difficult this type of piece is to work with and give an estimate based on that. However, you may need to just work with the owner to come to some sort of mutually acceptable number...
