BrickMachines.co.za is a free quote service for bricks, brick making and brick machines in South Africa. Whether you are building a house and need bricks by the pallet, walling a property with hollow blocks, paving a driveway, starting a small brick-making business with a first machine, adding a block plant to a busy yard, replacing worn moulds or looking for a bricklaying team, one request reaches the suppliers and contractors near you.

How it works

Use the site order book at the bottom of the page. For bricks, blocks, paving or bricklaying, measure the job: enter the length and height of the wall, or the size of the driveway, and it works out the square metres, the bricks or blocks with breakage and the courses. For a brick, block or paving machine, fill in the machine sheet: what it must make, the power, the type, the bricks per drop and how many you want a day, and it works out the drops. For moulds, mixers, sand or fire bricks, just say how many. We send your request to suppliers and contractors who work in your area, and they quote you directly. It costs you nothing.

Everything we take requests for

From a pallet of cement maxi bricks for an extension in Soshanguve to face bricks for a house in Stellenbosch, hollow blocks for a boundary wall in Polokwane, paving for a driveway in Centurion, an egg-laying brick machine for a new yard near Mthatha, a hydraulic block plant in Rustenburg, moulds and a vibrator motor for a yard in Kimberley, a mixer on hire in Durban or a bricklaying team in Gqeberha.

Getting brick and machine quotes you can compare

Two quotes for "10,000 bricks" can be very different things. Check the size, the type (cement or clay, stock or face), the strength and whether the bricks are tested, whether the price is per brick, per thousand or per pallet, and whether delivery and offloading are included. For machines, ask what the price includes: moulds, motor, mixer, delivery, setting up and training, and the output the supplier gets with your mould and crew. For bricklaying and paving, ask whether materials are included and what the price per square metre covers.

Frequently asked questions

Does BrickMachines.co.za sell bricks or brick machines itself?
No. We are a free quote service. You send one request and we pass it to independent brickyards, block yards, machine suppliers, bricklayers and paving contractors who work in your area. They contact you directly with their prices, and you are under no obligation to accept any of them.
How many bricks do I need per square metre?
With 10 mm joints, a single skin wall of standard 222 x 106 x 73 mm bricks takes about 52 bricks per square metre, and a double skin wall about 104. Maxi bricks need about 33 and hollow blocks about 12.5. Add about 5% for breakage. The calculator in the order book below does the sums. See bricks and maxi bricks.
What does a brick making machine cost in South Africa?
It depends on what it makes, how it is powered and how much it must produce. Published prices run from small manual machines to hydraulic and fully automatic plants, with a big jump between them. Ask for the price with the moulds you need, delivery and training. See brick making machines and manual brick machines.
Is starting a brick-making business a good idea?
It can be, where building is steady and you can sell close to the yard, because bricks are heavy to deliver. Work out cement, sand, labour, power and transport per thousand bricks before you buy a machine, and test your bricks. See block making machines and second hand brick machines.
