The Brickworx Way

 
  • Branden will personally meet with you for an initial project briefing so that he fully understands every element of the project, your needs and expectations. He will visit the job site and review your plans, agree on outcomes including project milestones and timelines for completion. He will then prepare and present a quote.

  • Brickworx strives to minimise the impact on every site they work on. They will work closely with the site manager to endure minimum disruption or inconvenience to other contractors.

  • Branden will personally visit every site regularly and meet with the manager of the project on at least a weekly basis.

  • Brickworx will always leave a site better than they found it. To ensure they meet agreed outcomes, Branden will conduct a project review with every client on completion and before his team leaves the site.

“At Brickworx, we work with pride and a commitment to excellence in everything we do.

In addition to our 15 year Guarantee on our Workmanship, I place my reputation and 25 years professional experience on the line and stand by every aspect of our work.”
