Overview
Bricklayers & Blocklayers in Australia
Bricklaying and blocklaying is hard, weather-exposed work that sits right at the front of the build. As one of many bricklaying businesses across Australia, you're often on site before the chippies, laying the structure everything else hangs off — and you're judged on a wall that's there for fifty years. Day rates and lump-sum contracts are the norm, and most gangs are juggling several builders' jobs at once.
The cash challenge is brutal in its simplicity: bricks, blocks, sand, cement and reo have to be on site before you can lay a course, but builders pay on progress claims that can run weeks behind. Add wet weather, which stops the wall entirely, and a gang that still needs paying, and you get the classic squeeze. A finance position around $70,000 covers materials, a decent ute and trailer, mixers, saws and scaffolding.
What bricklayers & blocklayers are up against
- Materials paid before progress claims land — pallets of bricks, blocks, sand and cement go on site before the builder pays you for the lift.
- Wet weather stops the wall — rain and frost halt laying entirely, but the gang and the equipment finance still have to be paid.
- Labour-intensive and physical — finding and keeping reliable brickies and labourers is a constant pressure, and a man down slows the whole job.
- Builder payment terms and retentions — progress claims, variations and held retentions stretch your cash even when the work is signed off.

Common questions
Bricklayers & Blocklayers — questions Australian owners ask
Why is cash flow so tight for a bricklaying gang?
You pay for bricks, blocks, sand, cement and reo before a course goes up, but builders pay on progress claims that can sit weeks behind the work. When you're running several jobs at once and carrying a gang on wages, that timing gap between paying for materials and being paid is where most brickies feel the pinch.
How do I manage wet weather stopping the job?
Rain and frost can shut a wall down for days, and you still have wages and finance to cover. Many bricklayers build a small buffer for these stoppages, line up indoor or sheltered work where possible, and keep clear communication with builders so the program and your claims reflect lost days.
Should I take lump-sum contracts or charge by the day?
Day rates protect you from a job blowing out, while lump-sum or rate-per-thousand pricing rewards a fast, efficient gang. Many Australian brickies use a mix — day rates for fiddly or uncertain work and rates per thousand bricks where the scope is clear — and watch their material costs closely so a fixed price still leaves a margin.
