Building

• Load-bearing and veneer walls
• Fire-rated inter-tenancy walls
• Landscape features such as brick letterboxes, planters and outdoor kitchens
• Retrofit accents-think internal feature walls or adding brick steps over existing concrete

Clay, concrete or reconstituted stone each has its own look and structural characteristics. For lightweight builds, concrete bricks can reduce loads while still delivering the classic aesthetic.

Unsure how many bricks to build a BBQ or a 2.4 m high fence? Suppliers on ArchiPro can run the numbers for you, factoring in mortar joints and wastage.

All products listed meet or exceed NZS 4210 for masonry construction and reference B1 Structure of the New Zealand Building Code. Make sure your chosen system also aligns with fire and moisture requirements for your specific site.

The question “how much does it cost to build a brick wall?” depends on:

• Brick type: standard clay starts around $1.60 per unit; premium glazed options can exceed $5.
• Labour rates: region-dependent but typically $75–$90 per m² for veneer.
• Site access and scaffold requirements.
