Attention Bricklayers
 

Some general informaton please? How long would it take someone to build:

- In Melbourne
- A brick wall using standard 390x190 blocks (ie Boral)
Area = 460 square metres (153 metres length x 3 metre height)

- What labour team would be required ie Bricklayer and 2 labourers or 2 Bricklayers and 1 labourer?

- What equipment would they need if say they were a new arrival from the UK?

- What certification process do they need to undertake to become self employed? Can they still sub under say an owner builder?

- Lastly what is a good rate for a Bricklayer (ie one they would be happy with given current economic situation).

- Is it true Brickies get laid more often?:rofl:

Based on the driver of the car with whom I spied the sticker not alot:D

But hopefully that means they spend more time working;) preferably on a 3 metres high x 153 long wall

working hard?



or wrong site for such information:p

Re: Attention Bricklayers
 

What sort of wall, is it just a garden wall or a retaining wall?

Re: Attention Bricklayers
 

First 55 metres
1.8m retaining the rest 1.2 out of the ground

Rest is ground/first floor of one level building.

Wow it's going to need some serious reinforcement, rebar into the footings & horizontal bars wired to the vertical etc? Did you have to have engineered drawings done?

Re: Attention Bricklayers
 

Yes but the designer is still in fiji on holiday and needs to transmit the plans through before the engineer can commence.

Spending your cash on a holiday the cheeky bugger;):D
