Typical Size Crew & Average # Of Bricks Laid...
Hello Everyone
![]() The company I work for is currently involved with a cost research project with the BIA. We are currently attempting to publish some accurate numbers to assist in job bidding. I understand that EVERY job is different; so coming up with what is considered a "average crew" & "average productivity" is difficult. But, that's what I have been tasked to do. If anyone out there would be willing to either call, email, post, or fax me how many guys are on their crew, and about how many bricks they go thru in an average day, I would greatly appreciate it. If anyone would find value in a new RS Means construction estimating book, I could probably arrange the shipping of one for free to anyone willing to spend a minute or two with their 2 cents on this matter. Thank you in advance. |

I knew a framing crew that could do about a brick of hash a day.

Re: Typical Size Crew & Average # Of Bricks Laid...
Come on people!!! It would literally take less then a min to help me out on this, and if ANYONE THAT HELPS wants a copy of a book that retails for over a hundred bux, just let me know and I will get one sent to you for free. I realize Im new, but my parent company owns RS Means, and I would not make a claim I couldn't come thru on. Again, thank you to any assistance with this research

Re: Typical Size Crew & Average # Of Bricks Laid...
A minute or two and 2 cents will not get a reliable cost figure.
Since it is for your client (BIA) it is understandable that you are interested in the number of brick per day. There are other masonry materials that are used in the masonry industry that are use with "brick" (whatever size and shape it may be).

Re: Typical Size Crew & Average # Of Bricks Laid...
That is obvious, and tough to combat. If you know how I can assure anyone what I am not making empty promises here please share. My company email is [email protected]
Please feel free to look up that company and see that it really does own |

As for the size of brick, if you primarily use say queen size in your area (that's def not the case in the North East), then please state that. |

Re: Typical Size Crew & Average # Of Bricks Laid...
Lando, this is probably a good place to get some feedback, but it will take a couple days and a good attitude
![]() For a three man crew in the South, two masons and a laborer, average would be 1200 brick a day on basic house veneers. Go up on scaffold and add laborers to keep brick count the same. Work on piers, stairs, etc., reduce brick count by a lot. |

Re: Typical Size Crew & Average # Of Bricks Laid...
I promise I can get books shipped out to the address supplied within a couple days. But first you have to give me an honest answer on-
1). how many on an average crew? Maybe specify what each does? Like, 5 man crew, 2 laying, 2 mixing, 1 general labor bitch ![]() 2). how many bricks does that crew get down in a day? Also are they mods? Or are queen used mostly in ur area? |

Sorry, but it is against our policy to allow this sort of research here. this site is for contractors to talk with their peers.
