Bricklaying quoting

Bricklaying quoting software
— quote jobs in under two minutes.

Bricklaying spans per-sqm walls, per-lineal-metre retaining and planters, and fixed-price features — and mortar matching, scaffold and engineering requirements move the number well beyond a raw brick count. Tradewin prices each job against your real bricks, mortar, scaffold and labour costs, from a repoint to a full extension, and sends the quote before you leave site. Save your standard work — new walls, piers, retaining — as TradeWin Recipes™ so the next quote is a two-tap job.

What drives the price of bricklaying work

The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.

Brick type & bond

Brick selection, mortar joint style and decorative bonds change both material cost and laying speed — a common-brick wall and a feature bond aren't the same per-sqm rate.

Scaffold & access

Anything above head height on extensions and new walls usually needs scaffold, which is real cost and time that a straight brick count never captures.

Retaining & engineering

Retaining walls are priced per lineal metre but height, drainage and engineering requirements drive the real cost — a garden edge and a structural wall are worlds apart.

Mortar matching & repairs

On repointing and repairs, matching the existing mortar type and colour plus scaffold needs cause wide variation over laying new brick.

Common bricklaying jobs and what moves the price

  • Brick BBQ / Fire Pit Build

    Complexity, coping material, and built-in vs. open design vary pricing.

  • Brick Repair / Repointing

    Mortar type matching, scaffold needs, and damage extent cause wide variation.

  • Brick Retaining Wall

    Height, engineering requirements, and drainage inclusion affect pricing.

  • Feature / Accent Wall

    Decorative bonds and mortar colours add to standard brickwork pricing.

  • Fireplace / Chimney

    Design complexity, flue requirements, and heritage constraints cause major variation.

  • Home Extension Brickwork

    Brick matching, scaffold, and tie requirements for extensions add to standard pricing.
