It's more like £360/day, because I've never met a millionaire bricklayer.

Ah the very reason everyone hates their new build house lol

What about the time it took setting up all the blocks prior to laying?

And you wonder why new builds are sh*te quality!

You would think these multi millionaires would treat themselves to a level.

That guy leave his level in the freezer overnight with the bubble set to dead plumb..😃

Lots of insecure tradesmen out there who feel the need to talk about what money they apparently earn lol

Yeh that’s defo what you’re on 👍🏻👍🏻

No way that 360 blocks takes a hour including setting out and building corners. And I’m a brickie of 30 years.

I'm a brickie,39 years old and I've been doing this since I left school. I run two 2 & 1 gangs and this kid is correct, when you're running lightweight blocks in you can earn decent money. But if you average it out over the whole house/every lift and take into account all the days you aren't on Rockstar wages,I.e setting out corners,under DPC, loading out (yes some brickies still pitch in and help out the labourer from time to time),fitting window jambs and heads,gable cut ups etc etc. When you average that for every house over the course of a year and factor in bad weather,unpaid holidays you need days like this to make it worth while. I make a decent living but I've got 15 years left if I'm lucky, the only guys I've ever met who've made millions are brick barons with multiple gangs. Millionaire brick layers still on the trowel,I've never met one. These young brickies remind me of myself in 2008, 24 and I thought I had this game figured out, that recession was a humbling experience and the next one is going to be just as bad, let's see how many are posting videos next year boasting about how much money they are earning. I thought the same thing in 2008, they'll never shut the site,too much demand, they moth balled most sites overnight and we struggled for 18 months until things started back up again. Include a couple of recessions and forced early retirement and tell me how much you've actually earnt over your career and I guarantee you've not averaged £ 360 a day.

With brickeys and scaffers there’s always one man that keeps them going strong. And that one man took all that money and exchanged it for coke an hour later

£15 a minute 😂you wish lad

What a load of bollocks. Of course the Brickie is on over a grand a day!! Haha

I know your levels are rough but this level needs throwing in the nearest skip 🤣

Now take into account the loading out, the getting the muck sorted then all the down time weather it's being fucked around by a forklift, silo broken or waiting for materials or rained off. Now the hourly rate drops dramatically

I can install a double, overhead garage door and motor in 90 minutes. That is $300. But. It takes another 120 minutes to collect and deliver, then go home. I also have forty thousand dollars invested in gear. I warrantee my work and pay my own supperaanuation and insurance. I'm on call 24/7.

The amount of chefs I’ve met who bang on about how much they used to make a day on building sites. Sure Garry, and that’s why you’re washing Kale on a Saturday night for £10 an hour

On this one particular job, yeah. I'm an electrician, I once earned £800 in about 2 hours. I'm definitely not on £400ph though 🤣

But how long did it take you to get the blocks and muck up there boi? That £1.50 per block includes loading out and mixing up. Suddenly that £360 has got to pay 2 blokes for a day.

You can only work in particular conditions, it's not always these blocks, this work takes a toll on your body, long travel can be needed depending on where you live, the pay might be good when you do work but that's just it, you never know when you will or won't.

So the blocks load themselves out. And the job cleans its self Perfect

I have never met a house basher that doesn’t brag about how much they earn 😂

Forget to mention how blocks got there (right next to him) or who makes the mix etc

I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH BRICKS YOUVE LAYED ON THE WALL MATE. YOU REALLY HAVE DONE AN AMAZING JOB MATE. I REALLY REALLY DO WISH I COULD WORK AS BRICKLAYING MATE I REALLY REALLY DO.

I think the Spirit level has had its days 🤣

You might as well use compass instead of that level spot on 🤣🤣🤣he said ….as straight as the roundabout….

IM CHANGING JOBS IF THATS THE CASE 😂😂😂

Make $15 in one minute, then spend $1000’s on chiro and physiotherapist. Lol

Mayne take an extra hour and the bricks on these new builds wont be so bastard wonkey

No windows or doors, no cuts.. id like to see him keep that pace up for 10 hrs

Man the end is so funny, had to watch it again for the laughs

Loving the high vis styling,look like part of the village people..😂😂😂

Right, no. Just no. No bricklayer earns that much lol😂

No wonder people hire polish a lot these days, that’s absurd amount of money for people barely doing anything, thanks for this video because I will never hire scammers like you

And that boys and girls is why your new build will fall down after the first gust if wind or down the line you'll be so far out of plumb you can walk up the wall

There's a robot that can do that job 24/7 no tea breaks, no shit breaks ,no lunch breaks and no holiday nor pay rise . You still need bricklayers to tidy up the mortar joints the days of 1000 bricks a day are over .

Takes an hour 😂😂 okay

Plumber in the US. Everyone doubts the money we make working in the trades because we don’t drive around in Mercedes or own other such expensive things lol. The real problem is that they’re just incapable of hard, physical work. All good, more money for us and more money for retirement. Actually, it’s more money for beer and parties after the bills are paid 😂

so that explains why my 75 year old papa is still bricklaying 3 days a week, your labourer must be the flash

I've heard and know these price work boys earn top money and it compensates wet weather days, but these houses the owners have moved in been there 3 months and the lads are still waiting to get weighed in for purposes of problems if any from the brickwork, ridiculous,.!!

State of that level

OK, you've just told us that K. Walker Brickwork is concerned with throwing up as many bricks as possible without regard to quality. Well done, doofus

It’s an amazing job but very weather related

Smashed it mate👍👍🍻🍻

Don’t forget to point & brush your cavity 😂

It’s bollocks, yes if you literally just laid bricks constantly on a pre prepared line you’d get that, no mention of the set up time, travel, other expenses tools etc, the doctors and lawyers would all become brick layers if you early that much but they don’t do they.

A big reminder that all jobs are skilled jobs.

Love to put a spirit level on that brick work 😂

Bet the QS was suspicious at first when he seen your valuations ha

Earning all that money buy a new level son

Just you wait till Kevin Mcloud shows up! He’ll kick RIGHT off 🤣🤣

If he owns the company then the sky is the limit, I know people who started on the trowel as apprentice now have over 50 men working for him with a roofing and scaffolding company later on added and he turnt over 65mil last year

So 240 blocks an hour between two men, so 120 each?, let’s take off the 40 and round to 100 each, so your telling me as a pair you lay 1600 blocks a day 👀

Who's taking the time to set the lines and set the mortar

SPOT ON 😳 wacking great bow in that wall according to the level shot, which you pulled away from as quick as possible!

We all know it’s swings and roundabouts, we make on the gables then it’s panels front and back , anyone in the trade knows , then murder us on the cut ups with corbels, dental etc all on a count , no extra for us but we all know the subbys are paid for it ! Lintels , damp , FEATURE WORK!

He has spent a lot of his life learning this profession and it is also tiring I think he deserves it

Every single KZfaqr thinks they're the best & fastest out there but they really aren't 🤣 Also that Charlie thinks he invented pic & dip too

Yeah for the boss not for the geezer laying the bricks 😂

The British houses are typical bank products. Now In brief- in appearance uk houses are looking nice and beautiful, but inside are absolute shit- full of mold and humidity, they are very cold, lack of isolation, a lot of leakages. That's my honest and general opinion

Concreting over our ancient land to house the 3rd world... lovely 🤮

Damn that’s cheap I charge $4 per block here in Texas. That’s 4in block.

It starts raining after 30 seconds and they go home 🤷‍♂️😂. Turned up for nothing not even paid for the fuel to get there .

No wonder you work so fast, lad if I could brick like that id be tryna smash out 20 blocks a minute. Id start training at home builting walls and working out just for that kinda bread.

I don't know why people lie like this, it's so sad. I've got a painting and decorating business and we supply to barratt, wimpey and persimmon. My best friend is also a contracts manager for Wimpey, so I can say with certainty not only are your prices bollocks but you're misleading people about how quick you work. If one of my blokes did this they would be finding someone else to work for

I've seen plenty of cowboys in my time throw these buildings up

10 blocks in a minute? Dream on

Damn, can we promoted this as the new "get rich quick" scheme please. Get these Tik Tok kids doing the, "who can build a house" challenge. Get these housing prices down a bit

Math is so easy! Wow amazing!

Companies House… I’ll leave it there! 🧢

Dude the fact u trust that level is a joke 😂 it ever been washed in its life? You must half half a gauge stuck to it 😂😂

Spot on, i could drive my car under that spirit level on the second n third block down, what you making a half pipe😂

Said spot on. I see a Gap behind that level sir, your walls got a belly 🤷‍♂️

Man these brickies got heads blown up like balloons these days with the money... £200-400 per day ain't all that and the client gets a shit job as a result 🤦. If you want to earn good money then start your own business and do things the right way.

Auf Weidersein Pet, Best Drama on the Telly 📺 in the 80s 💯👍🏻✌🏻

It lasts about 20 years tho so get Ready for a new house

So you saying 10 blocks a minute. What about the mixing, putting the bed of gear on the blocks, setting up n loading out the blocks?

Ah yes the best employee mindset, there are no expenses, work as fast as possible because "I'm not paid hourly LOL", and everything was already done for you. I bet your boss loves you!! Take pride in your work you damn clown, someone could be living in that one day. How would you feel if you found out your speed job ended up collapsing?

Where do i apply

انا مصري اعمل استطيع فعل عمل جيد الان اعمل في المملكة العربية السعودية اريد ان اذهب الى بريطانيا اتمنا ذلك هل يستطيع احدكم مساعدتي

No taken in to account how the block got there.. He has a non productive worker to pay

Keep that pace up all day with standard concrete blocks....I'm doing it 30 years ...I'm sorry to God I didn't become a sparky...my bones are sore from it

First time I’ve ever seen millionaire wearing steel toe caps and a hard hat 😂

builders should be paid a fixed rate daily. If they get paid per brick, they just gonna rush it which would cause the building to be made messed up. and dangerous to live in

Yeah especially when it rains all week nonstop, then you have even more than that

New build bullders shouldnt be allowed to think they're great. Everyone knows they aint.

Between $10-15 a block here in Melbourne Australia. Up the prices lads. If we all do it they’ll have to pay, it’s what every other trade does

£15 a minute you live in a dream world

It’s about fucking time all tradesmon wages went up 👌🏻

Earns £400 that day then we have 10 days of thunderstorms and then earn virtually F all! Swings and roundabouts - earn it whilst you can 👍

Bricklayers make/can make good money, but £15 a minute is a bit of a stretch lol

I worked putting netting up for roofwrs etc. Worked on this building site for military homes lets just say it was quantity over Quality 😢

Messi wants to be a brickie now

And that's why all these houses has shitty walls, not straight etc

In this game you get good days n bad days . It’s decent dosh doing the bands but materials don’t just load themselves out , corners don’t build themselves and the clean up , pointing and insulation fairies don’t just appear by magic . It’s a false prophecy to believe this happens all day every day !!

What a load of rubbish ahaha, I'm a trainee building surveyor before anyone says I don't know what I'm on about.

Why do they all feel the need to lie lmao

An hour to lay 240 blocks while building corners? Yeah good joke bro

Seasonal work though…soon as rain comes you aint earning. Unlucky lads! 😚

Bullshit. What about rain days recessions, winter, trust me 57yr old bricky here 41yrs bricklaying still living paycheck to paycheck, been repossessed twice declared bankrupt after earning sometimes £1000 a wk, but remember its not every wk of yr. Nobody shows vids of the bad stuff.
