The Must-Attend Event for Every Bricklaying Business Owner

Australia’s biggest bricklaying business event is hitting the road! Join us in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide, and Perth for a full-day summit in each city, designed to educate, inspire, and align the industry.

Whether you're a one man show, running a team, or just trying to stay ahead, this summit will take you through calculating your true running costs, negotiating sustainable contract rates, and protecting your business with clear, builder-ready contracts, all with the goal of strengthening our trade for the long term.

Free parking is available at all venues.

Why This Matters Now

The bricklaying industry is evolving. With the rising cost of materials and labour combined with tighter sites and more complex designs, bricklaying business owners are being challenged more than ever before. This summit is an opportunity to take greater control, improve how we price and strengthen the way we run our businesses together.
