Tradie: Bricklayers

Let’s talk about our wonderful bricklayers AKA Brickie’s, and how much they play a unique and vital role in the construction industry.


Have you ever stacked blocks as a child or played with legos or even helped your child create an object using legos? Well as children or even adults, they say that playing with legos improves hand/eye coordination, assists in the development of spatial skills and patience, improves our fine motor skills and helps us learn how to play in teams and problem solve. Now of course it’s not exactly what bricklayers do on the construction site but it can lead into the interest of understanding of bricklaying and or becoming a bricklayer. After all, bricklayers do create objects but using actual bricks.


 More specifically, bricklayers lay a combination of stones, cinder blocks and bricks in construction to build walls or other objects either on new building sites, extension or for renovations of a building site.


You’ll notice that the term masonry is also linked to bricklaying and that depends on the skill level of the bricklayer. There is an entry level bricklayer and a specialist bricklayer known as a true mason. 


There are so many advantages to becoming a bricklayer. Well take a look around you; many of the world’s significant architectural achievements were built by bricklayers/masonaries. If you become a brickie you know that the material you’re working with is created from nature and is resistant to fire, earthquakes and sound. The material can also be designed to be cost efficient. There is no expiry date on becoming a bricklayer in other words you wont be replaced by machines. Masonry buildings have been known to last for hundreds of years.  


If you chose a career in bricklaying you know that you will be part of creating strong standing and long lasting houses. And that is incredible.


To all our bricklayers; past and present we thank you for all your hard work.

If you're building a new home or planning a big renovation, you’ve probably heard the term ROI. But what does it really mean; and how can quality build help you make more in the long run? What is ROI? ROI stands for Return on Investment. It’s a way to measure how much profit you can make compared to how much money you spend. So as you know; The higher your ROI, the better your return. Why Quality Builds Matter At Inspiring Homes Pty Ltd, we believe quality isn’t just about looks but it is also about value. As we build with integrity we also build with care and better materials, and hence this increases your ROI. Here’s why: 1. Higher Property Value A strongly built home with great finishes stands out. Buyers are happy to pay more for a home that looks good and feels solid. 2. Fewer Ongoing Costs Good quality means less maintenance and fewer repairs later on. That saves you or the next owner money. 3. Better Energy Efficiency Homes that are built properly are more energy efficient. That means lower power bills and a big bonus when it comes to resale value. 4. More Buyer Confidence When buyers see quality, they feel confident. That can lead to faster sales and good offers. Invest Smart from the Start It might be tempting to go for cheaper options, but cutting corners often costs more later. Quality work adds real value and pays off over time.

At Inspiring Homes, we know how overwhelming building a home can be, especially when you’re dealing with designers, consultants, and council approvals all at once. That’s why we offer a complete service where we look after the design, drawings, and approvals from the start. It takes a lot of pressure off you and helps the whole project run more smoothly. Here’s why: 1. It’s Easier and Less Stressful When we manage everything from the beginning, there’s no back and forth between different people. We communicate directly with everyone involved, so things move faster and nothing gets lost in translation. 2. Your Design Is Based on Your Budget Many times people spend over their budget because the related parties involved do not keep your budget in mind. However when we are involved early, we guide the design with your budget in mind, so you get what you want without any surprises. 3. We Know the Approval Process Dealing with council requirements, paperwork, and delays can be really frustrating if you haven’t done it before. We do it all the time and know exactly what’s needed. We take care of the documentation and submissions so you don’t have to. 4. No Confusion When the same builder who’s building your home is involved in the design, everything lines up better so there is no confusion, fewer changes, and fewer delays once construction starts. 5. You’re Working with Trusted People We work with experienced consultants, certifiers, and trades who we trust and use on all our jobs. You don’t have to go looking for people yourself. Letting your builder manage the design and approvals saves time, avoids going over budget and makes the process a lot easier. At Inspiring Homes, we build with integrity and we’re here to make your building journey smooth, stress free, and enjoyable, right from the start.
