Business insurance
Insurance for Bricklayers & Blocklayers
Bricklaying carries clear on-site risk: working at height on scaffold, heavy materials being moved, and a structural wall that has to stand. Most gangs carry public liability as a baseline, and many builders won't let you on site without it. Tool and equipment cover protects your saws, mixers and scaffolding, and if you employ brickies or labourers, workers' compensation is required.
With a typical premium around $1,200 and cover commonly renewing near 30 June, it's worth reviewing before the new financial year and before the busy build season. Cockatoo helps you compare and matches you to the right insurance partner for a bricklaying business.
Common questions
Bricklayers & Blocklayers — insurance questions
What insurance do bricklayers and blocklayers need?
Public liability is the baseline most builders insist on before you set foot on site, alongside tool and equipment cover for your saws, mixers and scaffolding. If you employ brickies or labourers, workers' compensation is required. Some gangs also consider cover for faulty workmanship given the structural nature of the wall.
Why do builders ask for my certificate of currency?
Builders need proof you carry public liability before letting your gang on site, because they're responsible for everyone working there. Keeping a current certificate of currency handy means you can start jobs without delay. A typical bricklaying premium sits around the $1,200 mark.
