4000 bricks a day Is NOT realistic!!! If you're on a really long wall with the basic anchors 1000-1500 is reasonable. Also you have to tool or strike the bed and head joints and brush. People say all kinds of things but they can't BS an brick/ Block/ Stone mason for over 20 years. To lay like a madman watch Worlds Fastest Trowel Competition. Those guys will show you fast, efficiency. The guy in this video is pretty slow compared to the slowest in these competitions. It's a good video but I'm just keeping it REAL!!
Mason and contractor for 45 years. I call BS. First of all it's quicker to lay brick going forward then backwards. Production of a 1,000 quality brick per day is a good day.
He bedded out and then laid 9 bricks in 1m 20s. That works out to 450 bricks in 1 hour. Why are you all doubting? Also a builder said a house is x bricks so you would do it in a day n half, never seen it done! ....... There's a LOT more to building a house than straight line laying. He could lay 500 per hour easily and so could other quick brickies. The trouble is that this isn't taking into consideration the time it takes to setup profiles, build up corners and the other things you need to do before you get to the point where you can lay straight runs. Otherwise these fast brickies would make an absolute fortune, more so than they do. Taken into reality, this brickie would be lucky to get 3k bricks down in a day the same as other brickies that can be bothered to work efficiently and fast.
So glad I never had to endure the high viz world of bricklaying used to love the summer time shorts trainers and an amazing tan bonus of outdoor work then cry through the winters smashing ice off the water barrel and getting the diesel mixer going with lighted cement bag oh the good old days.. 💯🇬🇧👌
My dad was a bricklayer. I worked for him in summers till I was done school and went on to other things. Those years taught me all about hard work. If I laid 500 bricks in A DAY that was a lot.
Lol. So this guy considers himself doing 500 an hr because he did 500 / 60 and then layed 17 bricks in 2 minutes. Doesn't account for jointing up and thinks hes going to do it at a consistent pace for 8 hrs straight without a break or moving tools plus setup on another wall as no house walls these days are more than 800 bricks per flank or per lift. Also must have one of those lines that move themselves up the coarses. Talking shit, youre just a line monkey.
How much is it for a double garage to be built at this current climate approx 6x6 meters with one full roller shutter door and nice slate roof? without being ripped off...... thanks
The fundamental principle hasn’t changed in thousands of years. Great apes construct clay boxes with material taken from the ground. The current ones have to do lots of ‘training’ just to perform the same mundane repetitive task, then they boast about it 🤔.
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
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.
