Brickies Network is the national voice for bricklayers. We’re here to support you, protect your rights, and help you build a stronger future in the industry. Together we’re a bricklaying community.
Every bricklayer learns the craft from someone—a mentor who taught you how to lay bricks, read plans, and master the trade. But who guided you in becoming a successful business owner?
At Brickies Network, we're bridging that gap.
We're not just about tools and trowels—we’re about transformation. Our network is made up of real tradespeople who understand the highs and lows of the industry. That’s why we’re building a culture grounded in:
Authenticity – Stay true to who you are and proud of the craft you represent.
Professionalism – Deliver and expect excellence in every interaction.
Support – Gain access to services that exceed expectations and raise industry standards.
Running a bricklaying business without knowing your exact costs can leave you undercharging and losing profit. The FREE Brickies Network Running Cost Calculator is built specifically for bricklaying professionals across Australia — so you can quote jobs with confidence, stay compliant, and protect your bottom line.
We’ve designed this tool to help you cover every detail — from labour to overheads — so you never sell yourself short. Download it now, then check out our quick video tutorial to see exactly how it works.
