   Mark, My mason told me to figure $40 labor per quoin when I priced a recent job. He's usually a bit high (money wise) but does great work so that's the number I used. Hope that helps.

   *Mark:I am assuming you want the quoins to be build from the same brick as the rest of the wall?My bricklayer charges $150 per corner per story. In other words, if you had a one story house and wanted to do the front two corners, it would be $300. I've had other estimates that were higher.Doing the Quoins is not that big a deal, it's just that they can't string line them with the rest of the running bond. Often they string off and install the regular wall brick, leaving out the corners, and then come back and do the quoins and rest of the corner.By the way, all the (good ol' boy) masons around here call 'em "corn corners"! I'm sure they know that the word is really "quoin" as they must have seen it on blue prints about a million times. Probably the same reason my boxing & siding guy installs "facial" and my painter puts "corking" where the brick mold meats the brick.Anybody else have some colloquialisms that they want to throw out here?

   My wife has decided she now wants coined corners on our house. The brick layers have not started yet so no problem there. Can anyone give me some idea of what a bricklayer might charge for such a feature. Is it a lot more expensive or a minor upcharge?
