Bricklaying

[nod]

Now that the planning is behind us 

My thoughts have turned to bricklayers 

A Brickie I’ve known since he was an apprentice started up on his own 12 months ago and had four Brickies working for him I’ve just spoken to him today and he tells me he’s now got 41 bricklayers working full time Miller homes and others are that desperate for Brickies They have been paying on a weekly basis 

There seams little sign of things slowing down anytime soon

I hope he’s not heading for a disaster, I’ve known 2 lads go from one bloke to dozens and they both went bust within 2 years, they just didn’t have the knowledge to play with the big companies and got Yakutia the cleaners.

+1 that’s a hell of a jump in a short time. Hope it’s he’s got the basics of a structure in place in terms of Foremen he can trust. 
The Developers QS’s are on the back foot right now but you can’t take your eye off the ball.

I hit really lucky with a locally brickie that came recommended - he had 6 weeks at the start of 2022 in which he could have built our shell, weather permitting. Unfortunately our planning was knocked back so we didn't have the foundations etc ready for him. I've now pretty much accepted I'm going to be waiting 12-18 months for anyone worth using when the new plans (hopefully) get the green light.
