Financing for Bricklayers & Blocklayers
Bricklayers and blocklayers usually need finance for two reasons: covering materials before a builder's progress claim is paid, and funding the ute, trailer, mixers, brick saws and scaffolding the gang relies on. A finance position around $70,000 is common once you add a working vehicle and the working capital that bridges the gap between buying pallets of brick and being paid for the lift.
Cockatoo helps you understand your borrowing position and matches you to the right finance partner — whether that's equipment finance for a new ute and gear or a working-capital line to ride out slow progress claims and wet weeks.
Common questions
Bricklayers & Blocklayers — business loan questions
Can I finance scaffolding, mixers and a work ute?
Yes. The ute, trailer, mixers, brick saws and scaffolding a gang depends on are commonly funded through equipment finance, spreading the cost rather than draining your cash in one go. Cockatoo helps you weigh up the options and connects you with a lender that understands the building trade.
How do I fund materials before the builder pays me?
Working-capital finance is designed exactly for this — it covers the bricks, blocks and cement you put on site now so you're not waiting on a progress claim before you can buy the next load. With material costs and a gang on wages, many brickies sit comfortably with a buffer around the $70,000 mark.
