Any Brickies in Brisbane can offer advice?

[leeanne0312]

Hi all. No-one answered my last post so I thought I'd try again!! Looking into Brisbane area to relocate and wondered what the average earnings for a bricklayer are? Also could he cope in the heat as I've heard its really humid and sticky?
Any responses would be greatly appreciated as were confused!

Hi there was a brickie on here a fews weeks back saying he earned $1,400 a week less tax which was about $170. I think he was around the Bayside area. Hope this helps you. We are heading out there Jan'09 OH a brickie. x

MMM think I could handle that! Much more than hubbie earns here! Good luck when you get there and keep us posted!
Thanks xx

I would be very carefull if you think there is lots of bricklaying jobs in Aus. Construction jobs are becoming few and far between. I know lots of very good Aussie and British bricklayers, who are finding it hard to find work, and when they do find work the prices are bad.

Where abouts are they in OZ?

[leeanne0312]

We'll take the chance seeing as there are no jobs here either what with the polish "builders" on the sites taking over! Think it's same everywhere at the mo what with the credit crisis. I'd rather have the lifestyle in Oz though compared to here. Just have to keep our fingers crossed!

$170 is **** if your a good bricklayer thats about 70 odd quid im heading out myself in oct. does any body know if you can go on the price as all you hear on this is time work????

The $170 was tax not a days pay.
