PIPMOSS Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hi All, In the last 2 weeks 2 bricklayers have moved from brisbane to melbourne to chase work and have found it , thinking off doing the same myself with the crew we have and was wondering if anyone knows what the situation is for bricklayers down there . Things seem to be getting slower in brisbane and we are now down to 3 days a week with the odd week off (like next week ). Any feed back would be good to know .

Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Hi Phil I have been away from Melbourne for a few months now, but when i was down there brickies could walk in to a job, although you would have to be self employed and if you have your own crew/tools that would be a bonus. They were paying approx $1 per brick. Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihanabell Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 melbourne west side ie point cook,williams landing are going ok but Geelong is the area that will take off next 3 months as there will be 3 major sites starting all at once ie Armstrong Creek,Drysdale and Torquay plus other sites still unfinished. Around 36,000 new homes to be built over next few years was quoted in the Geelong Advertiser.I am in a gang getting $28 per hour and they price work at 90 c a brick. Word has it Melbourne is slowing down so consider Geelong its not paradise but plenty of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIPMOSS Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 hi hannash yes we are looking at trying to keep are builders in queensland as well, so we are looking at flying in and out of melbourne once the ute and tools are down there. Brisbane is very quite we have 3 builders and they don't have a lot of work at the minute we are doing 3 days a week at best .
