Pricing guide
Costs are mostly influenced by material quality, foundation requirements and the level of finishing required. Standard builds using common bricks and shallow footings are typically less expensive than premium heritage-style work or structural elements that require deeper or reinforced footings. Specialist sourcing, careful matching and any required engineering or council fees can also increase the overall scope.
Material type and quality
Standard clay or concrete bricks and cement mortar are usually quicker and simpler than recycled, handmade or lime-mortar options, which take longer to source and install.
Footings and reinforcement
Deeper or reinforced footings needed for steps, piers or structural elements increase excavation and labour compared with basic shallow pads.
Labour skill and finishing level
Heritage or high-finish work requires slower, more skilled laying, careful cleaning and detailed pointing, which typically adds time to the job.
Brick sourcing and matching
Finding and matching special or reclaimed bricks can add lead time and labour for careful selection and finishing.
Site preparation and access
Ground preparation, site access and surface type affect how easily crews can work and therefore the overall time required.
