50 Years of Customer Satisfaction

The Brick Pit began trading in 1975, long before recycled brick was considered cool and fashionable, and before words like ‘sustainability’, ‘energy’ and ‘environment’ were part of the national conversation.

Since 1975, The Brick Pit has been supplying architects, designers, homeowners, builders, landscapers and shopfitters in Australia and overseas with premium, recycled bricks for residential, commercial and landscaping projects including custom homes, restaurants, cafes, commercial, retail, and residential complexes, council parks and outdoor spaces, leading education facilities and eco-resorts.

The Brick Pit is a full-service brick recycler supplying only the finest recycled bricks and advising on brick selection, finishes, colour matching and quantities. We offer the following recycled brick products and specialty product lines.

Some notable projects include UOW Sustainable Buildings Research Centre – Australia’s first 6 Star Green Star Rated building, UOW iAccelerate building, Sandstone Point Hotel (QLD), Sydney Olympic Park Jacaranda Square, the Google Headquarters in Pyrmont, multiple HIA and MBA award-winning homes and installations within the Merivale Group including Ivy, Mr Wong, Coogee Pavilion, Papi Chulo and more.

Testimonials

"We love using products from The Brick Pit - great stock to choose from.”

“We were very happy with the beautiful blend of bricks, and we were thrilled with the result."

Natalie Brcar, Director, Brcar Morony Architecture

"It’s definitely worth a visit to brick recyclers like The Brick Pit before being seduced into using the far more expensive brand-new designer bricks.

“Fancy new bricks can be about 100% more expensive.

"The future building blocks of our built environment are already here, and they're ready for another few centuries of life.”

Clinton Cole, Managing Director, CplusC Architects + Builders

“Go straight to The Brick Pit. They are so helpful and will get the exact look you’re after! Our original plan was to paint the bricks, but we started falling in love with the recycled bricks… and made the decision to build the whole house (22,000 bricks) out of them.

“The Brick Pit literally hand-picks the bricks to a formula to get the tones you want… It’s an incredible process.”

Coco Matolic, The Brickies Wife Studio

“Our specs called for a reclaimed brick. After finding The Brick Pit web page, I came across a previous Harley-Davidson job they had already supplied for.

“The Brick Pit is a very good supplier and was very accommodating when it came to selecting the correct mix. Very competitive price also.”
