I'm 70+ and have seen my share of job sites where the customer, "the money" has changed their mind. I know it's hard, once you get a mind set on a job, to change things up. As long as the money is right then the customer is right, always. Be satisfied that your doing your best and don't let it upset you or your crew. Don't let the customer here any bad mouthing that might go on by the crew and you'll be a better man and contractor for it. Cheers, Billy in Canada PS your work looks great and your working safe too!!
Thank you billy, for your comment👍
he's taking jobs from canadians- and running from his legal problems in the caribbean

@@random11111e It isn’t. Firstly, Canadians are welcome to compete in the free market by doing a better job more efficiently at fairer prices. Them being unable to is nobody’s fault but their own. Secondly, you’re just making stuff up, assuming someone’s background and making accusations without a shred of evidence. Stop your racist whining and be a better man if you could be called one. If you can’t win, it’s because you are not good enough.
Was a site manager most of my working life and good tradesmen are a precious thing, does the heart good too see skilled lads just doing it fine and fast.
It’s addictive watching tradesmen at work like this… I’m a bricky by trade you think we’d get sick of seeing it but I could watch someone lay all day 😂😂🤷🏻♂️ good job guys
that's awesome Craig, i agreed with ,its just fun to watch bricklaying 👍
My father was a bricklayer for over 40yrs but I never took any interest in being shown how it worked. Watching this is really interesting and you guys are doing a top job of it.
Beautiful work, you and your team are true professionals.
Thank you so much 😀
A real man doing real work. God bless you, brother.
45 years ago, as a child, I would go to my dad's sites. He was a home builder/contractor. He would design and build the houses, and he would always work with a specific set of brick/block layers. I remember watching them. As time went on, here in the US, and money saving became king, crap homes were built using crap supplies. No one seems to build actual brick homes any more. Even the town-homes with the brick fascias, aren't really, most of the time, they're all fake. It's really nice to see a crew doing this. Excellent work and great advice given as you go. Well done!
Amazing work young man. You make brick laying look easy when it is very difficult.

Don't matter the trade, clients change their minds more then babies get their diapers changed.
Lol 😆
Dippers? Like Skoal or Grizzly?

Looks good. I have done that for 50 years. Your mud looks just right. Keep that guy on the mixer.
Im pushing 70 and was an electrician by trade. I have done lot of work in every trade, but I couldn't get the hang of brick/block.
Much respect and, just working along side of guys with this accent would make my day brighter :) Peace
It's great watching all the fluid motions and minimal steps you experts have gotten this process down to. I did a couple of little side jobs involving cinder blocks and stucco. The first stucco job was a disaster, with scratch coat repeatedly falling to the ground and me hand scooping it back up and mashing it onto the wall. Then I watched a professional stucco/plaster guy's channel, and on the second job was using a hawk and trowel like a seasoned pro. I have some brick projects coming up and will return to this channel!
I watched 1st time for 5 minutes and instantly can see you take pride. Never ever change that . Use that as a driving factor to charge top rates for top work .
I’m a carpet layer. I love watching craftsmen at work. Hard work, knowledge and great skill. Also great teamwork.
Thank you sir, Appreciate your feedback!
I have a few friends that are carpet layers. How are your knees?!!
@@SPEXWISE wrecked
New to your channel. First choice of brick had character second was dead like an office block. Keep up your ethics your work is outstanding.
Or maybe ppl are different and want a perfect brick
Exactly what I was thinking! First bricks put the second ones to shame.
I hope there's a lot of young lads out there watching this as proof that hard work, determination and skill can get you making an honest living whilst having fun and good banter at the same time. #NoMoreGangs
I love this comment
As someone who spent a summer doing brick laying, I can't give these guys enough credit brick laying is the hardest job I've ever tried to do. There most certainly is a art to it and these guys make it look easy.
Yep. It’s the old school way. Trades have made more middle class families than any other industry, in my opinion. Lads AND “Lassies” 😉
I hear ya i work as a sheetmetal mechanic after running hundreds ft of duct the owners come back with a change take it all down and do it this way never fells don't matter to me we are still gonna get paid because they changed approved plans most of the time they want the changes done for free
Amen to that homie. I’ve been trying to get people my age to respect trades again. Its crazy they are all working in offices for 45k when they could be make 80-120k
Devon from NY but lm from Jamaica 🇯🇲 you guys make me proud. I'm a Mason for years
Laying cinder block. But first time watching the channel it is such a richi feeling. You guys are great. Wonderful skills. Big up!!!
That's awesome,thank you devon,nuff respect bless up you self mi bro💪🙌🏾
Curious at the choice of channel music. Came for the bricklaying, came away happy to hear the same kind of tunes I've been spinning for ages.Happy to have gotten both. Thanks for the knowledge and the sounds.
Awesome, thank you!
I'm a fellow bricklayer, I've done quite a few different things and the most satisfying thing for me is installing the clays
amazing work reminded me of my dad and the years i worked with him laying brick rip dad
Brick laying has always been a beautiful trade to me, along with concrete, subbing to actually try and learn something haha. Thanks
1970 the year of my first "real" job. As green as a teenager can be, a ditch digger for 2 years, then graduated to mixer and hod- carrier trainee, for three union bricklayers. The work ethics I gained thru those blister years carried me thru my entire adult life. Thanx to your post, it warmed my heart to see a trade that still hasn't changed. My teachers were tough on me, but they finished the job my parents started... becoming a man.
Nice to see young men actually working and enjoying and loving what they are doing.I am praying for you and may God bless each and every one of you.p.s. Love watching you work.🤗😎🙏
Thanks so much,much appreciated 🙌🏾🙌🏾✊🏾
If the customer changes material mid job GET IT IN WRITING the customer is always right but protect yourself first.
Facts
omg yes not many take accountability for their mistakes especially if they can leave you with a bill.
The customer is not always right as many of them have no idea about the laws associated with building things yet they want you to just do the job. #ntyvm
I hate that saying. "tThE cUsToMeR iS aLwAyS rIgHt". Every job that I have worked the customer is wrong 95% of the time.
@@drewstifer Giving the customer 5% is very generous but I agree with you completely. Also the showing up to a restaurant a minute before close and claiming you have to be seated.
When I was in construction and had my company I had a contract and I made them sign after they had picked out the material that they wanted once that was done if they wanted to change it then I would charge them extra.
Yep, you're not wrong about getting your client to sign a contract that states
"We will build what's drawn on this plan"
and if, say f'rinstance, they want a wider door; you change that part of the plan, and ensure that they sign and date the amended plan, and mark what how much extra that it will cost to make that change.
I always got weekly progress payments and stipulated that I was payed
immediately upon completion of the job.
Unfortunately you have to formalise your dealings with your client.
Brickwork is only as good as the man laying it and yours is spot on good team
Thank you,sir Appreciate your feedback 👍
I really enjoy ur guys pride in ur work.. I myself am a mason and not many care anymore, I always like looking at a completed job when I'm done and know my name is on that particular job..
thank you, appreciated your feedback 👍🏾
I grew up in a family of bricklayers and it was nice to see good brickwork being laid as it truly is an art that you perform. They were good bricklayers in there day but are now mostly gone. I still remember the names of most of the tools of your trade that you are using like the wall ties, line pin you set the brick on (they use to call them 'twigens") and line blocks. The tape measure was the best as they would use the folding version for layouit. I enjoyed the video.
Worked as electric apprentice, one job they bring in 20 illegals from Mex or central America to lay the cinder block wall. One guy got hurt, they call an ambulance as the and all 20 illegals come down off the scaffolding and hide in a dark room which had no electricity yet. God bless them, they need work I understand but I guess there were American masons available?
@@nmatthew7469 That's crazy! I wonder why there arent more bricklayers and masons now, the way there used to be?
@@VictorNewman201 reason one is that it is skilled labor intensive so any project using brick will have a high labor cost.
Two is that bricks are relatively heavy. That means wider foundations and wider footings, i.e. more costs. It also means you need to own or rent more substantial scaffolding to install it.
Three is that for the last 40 or 50 years children in the developed world have been told the must go to college and get a degree.
I could probably go on for a while but those are the main reasons, high cost combined with parents not wanting the kids to go into anything requiring hard labor and or an element of danger.
I know from personal experience some home owners want some crazy stuff. I have had owners change half way through. They thought it would look different. Or they would panic about the mud being to dark not realizing it lightens up when it dries. Miss those days, car wreck ruined me from all the bending over and twisting.
Absolutely no idea why I have watched this but just very captivating for some unknown reason make it look easy but harder than it looks to lay bricks PROPERLY
A pleasure watching these guys at work.
Killing it my man. Love to see others in the grind. Shout out from a fellow masonry buddy in district 1 in Chicagoland! I do Tile and Marble! Cheers.
u not in local 21 in chicago
You guys are really skilled and a credit to your profession. You make it look so damn easy and it really isn’t, mine looks like I was a bit drunk and using a pogo at the same time! Keep it up, I hope younger generations look at this and want to aim to acquire those skills because they will always be needed.
much appreciated ✊🏾 🙌🏾
Crafts men and those willing to learn a skill that truly benefits humanity are a blessing to mother earth...
What an art. Love to see trades showing off their craft and skill.
CZcams was like "check out these absolute LEGENDS." So I did.
All of the brick layers in my area of the US are Latinos and have been for decades. It was interesting to see these men as brick layers. Beautiful work!!
They're not in America..my sister is a bricklayer she was the only black female at her job..
It's because of the contractors not wanting to pay the American masons. I have been a Mason for 40years. When the contractors started telling masonry companies what they were going to be paying for masonry work the majority of the good masons I know quit. When Obama took office they cut my wages 6 dollars per hour. Put me back to what we were making 30 years ago. That's when I walked away from the trade. Masonry is hard work. I refuse to give my skills away. Crying shame. Just another way to sabotage the working class.
This man does some good work. 👍
My first job was mixing plaster for two Jamaican plasterers in London in 1972. Hard workers and both craftsman. Good to see this video, craftsman keeping up the fine traditions.
oh thats awesome, thank you, appreciated it!
Great work. It has always baffled me how bricklayers can keep the bricks level and the wall laser straight.
Line dogs and a good Crick
As someone who used to build houses I feel your pain. You get something built then the homeowner decideds to change something mid build.
As long as it's in writing and the changes are agreed to in the finances then that's fine...if they refuse to pay for the changes then there are none.
?? you ve lost the center bond at the start 3.04 onwards ?
They aren't a half bond brick that's why the joint isn't in the centre.
@@stephenhiggins5922 still looks bloody awful mate.

This video was relaxing to watch yall do a great job doing what I used to do for work. Making me miss it lol.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you man,👍✊️
My Grandfather was a retired brick layer here in Dallas. Never had a chance to see him work. It's cool to see some of the things he would have done at work. Looks great.
oh thats awesome 👍thank you
He’s knows his shit. Keep it up bud
1st timer to your channel Bro. Rating💯 I would definitely use/recommend your services IF you was in London. 🏆💪
Awesome thank you!💪✊
My opinion is as long as the structure is not weakened by the change and you're not compromising you're integrity as a builder and a business owner, taking extra steps to provide the golden moment for the customer is going to be key to future sales
McDonald's looks for golden moments I stole the idea from them haha but any time you go the extra mile for a customer it will be worth it of you're not compromising
Masonry is Hard work and HAS to be precise. It's a skill that has to be obtained over years and years of work. Pretty much Art work. I Love to look at a building and see the brickwork and can't be amazed to think what it took to make it. Awesome People doing Awesome Work.
well said, thank you!
I can't say for brick laying specifically, but on home builds I've had all sorts of changes after things have been built. Examples such as changing window sizes in framed building and also in the concrete foundation after it was formed and poured. Last minute extra bedrooms, garages, roof pitch changes. Pretty much everything. It always sucks when the home owner changes their minds mid-build. But I suppose as long as they are willing to pay I'd say stick it out.
let me just get this straight. You take a job for money offering your time and skills. The job then requires more work than you expected and you get paid more for the extra work.
@@davewilco822 ya thats how it works... it dont for you??
@@davewilco822 it's not ever that simple, you start with plans, start building a house to the plan and the owner then starts to make changes, the owner expects the changes to cost maybe a bit more but you have to price in the change and get the ok for the variation, we had a customer decide that he wanted concrete tiles on the roof instead of a coloursteel fake roof tile, he had done a rough cost adjustment on a piece of paper for the change in price for the roof tiles and expected us to price a variation close to his estimate, when we told him it would be $20,000 extra on top of his estimate he hit the roof. He did not understand that the consent needed to go through council again, that conc tiles would require total redesign of the support walls and upgrade of the timber in support walls, the roof trusses had been ordered for a light roof and would require a total redesign for a heavy roof, numerous other costs for the change. People don't know what the cost implications are going to be and get a hell of a shock when told.....
Great work you guys. One tip I implemented for homeowners who try to take advantage of us is a 15% Order Change Fee. Any changes they want made, calculate that then add 15%. More if needs be, depending on the change. Keep up the good work !
Thank you for your advice 🙏
Like watching an artist at work.
My goodness you guys are kickass absolutely professional clean work
You can always tell a good Brickie they are fast and make it look so easy...Great friendly team as well...👍👍
Lol it can be easy For anyone with a bit of practice
A good bricklayer isn’t always the fastest bricklayer but his work is consistently good
Respect, great quality work.
Customers change their minds all the time. I encounter it at least every 3rd job, the thing about being a good business man and tradesman is being able to adapt and overcome those changes. I truly believe that customers throw in changes sometimes just to see how we can handle it. You seem to be a smart man that is doing great in his trade and you handled this change so you got this! Being able to handle that and master it will be great for the word of mouth advertising that will come with that job.
It's overcome by the customer paying for the changes. Can do it if we are getting paid.
Hey I use a Marshalltown trowel same as yours mine is a 13" square end i been a Mason 30+ yearswhat size is your trowel? How long have you been laying brick? I'm a left handed brick layer go get a hubbard jointer instead of a j-bolt. Other uses for twigs, do a bump
Nice to see a rasta laying bricks
Loads of the fuckers on the site where I work
Wait he isn’t Italian
Love it guys well nice brothers are kicking it 👍
Great job bredda.. Keep up the great work
Thank you, I will
I really appreciate your work and I hope you will train more people. No one wants to do trades anymore.
Looks tidy .....but why is the bond out ?
its a 3 quarter bond
Greetings, it is good to see "brothers" working well together and producing a professional outcome. I really enjoy the efficiency of how the bricks are being layed. Every time I see one of these videos it makes me want to build something. Great work!
Thank you very much!
building is fun keep building ☺
Nice work lads watching from the UK. Little tip for ya.. try jointing beds first, then perps then quick run over bed again .. we've started doing it, get a wicked finish no tags of mortar on perps.
Great tips, thanks 👍
Nice to see people taking pride in there work 👍you make it look easy and I know it’s not 😁is the customer always right ?? If the money is there yes👍keep up the great work . Cheers from Tasmania
If they pay, no problem
Keep well from England
I don’t see any reason to walk off. As my dad always said “the customer is never wrong, but that doesn’t mean they’re always right.” Meaning they’re paying for what they want, even if it is against your pro advice.
czcams.com/video/PO785jPfa9E/video.html end of the video he explains why that isnt the best
Changes cost time and money. Make sure you are properly compensated for any changes.
Why did you not have half and full brick at your ends? That way it would keep it half bond and run your kit in the middle or under an opening
That is some damn fine work. Hard to find guys like this these days.
We ripped a roof on a raised ranch in upstate NY and tar papered ice and water shielded the new roof. The gray GAF arch shingles got delivered on the roof and we started laying the front side of the roof. The wife comes home around noon and we got half of the front done and she can see the shingles up at the peak of the roof and told me they where supposed to be green not gray and I kinda laughed it off. The husband came home and I got a call from my boss telling me there was a mistake and we needed to rip the shingles we just nailed to the roof off and wait for a new delivery. Turns out the wife wanted green and the husband only wrote "GR" on the order so my boss ordered gray. Those shingles got very gingerly taken off that roof and are now on my woodshed. I could give 2 sh!ts what my roof color is but these customers are not me. On to the next job.
Oh ly fuck that's crazy, I can imagine how fucked up that was for you 😒
My friend just remember: customer is always right 🙂
That's the husband's mistake and if it's in writing they would have had a grey roof. Scheduling is hard enough to maintain with the weather alone.
Wish I could find a crew of you lads in Dublin we would all b minted in five years .👊🙏

Gotta finish those estates for the hedge funds so they can be rented to the first time buyers they squeezed out!
Wow nice tight clean work been laying since 1978. Impressed. Why was the brick happy? .........it was layed twice hahahahaha😂😂😂😂😂
So many buildings with brick… laid in one at a time. Amazing.
Come up north we will show you how its done ✔
Or just upload it on CZcams
Can't learn a trade through CZcams me old mucka.
Get everything you do or going to do in writing. Define your responsibility and define there responsibility. Doing the work ( quality work ) is one thing , flaky flip flop customers can drive you nuts.
I’m following your stuff I’m a artisan in Australia very talented and wish u lived closer by etc quality work and easy to show clients what they need.
You can do anything with a change order tied to your contract. Makes it easier for yourself and your crew. $$ for your customer/homeowner. Nice work mate!
Hello my niabingee,,
Hope u crack a laugh on that one,, I’ve seen a few of your videos & i must say your a talented mason with a strong work ethic!!!! I can tell exactly who u are by the way u work... In the times we’re in right now I strongly believe u are doing a hell of a lot more with your videos then u think!! Besides expanding your business, showing your skills & talent in masonry, & making a few $ on the side,, you are putting up a flag for black men!!!! 90% of what is watched is either rap, drug smoking, crime on news, etc....... rarely do people see just a hard working, skilled, black man doing his every day thing,, & I’m sure for your family... I believe if there was more people like yourself, it would solve tons of problems in the world today.. Besides running in the streets chanting racism, & not knowing what to do with themselves,, these kids would see that with a little effort, hard work, & time that they can do anything they want to & succeed, just like yourself,, regardless of there skin color!!! I hope u take what I wrote in a good way, as I’m coming from a good place, calling a spade a spade, & calling it as I see it..... Health, wealth, happiness, & God Bless----

I had in-laws that built custom homes. They quickly decided to buy a lot, build the home their way, and then sell it. What I thought was funny was they did the same thing the former customers did after approving their own plans. They changed their minds about some things after they started construction.
I enjoyed watching your work. In California they have to use rebar for brick construction. Most of the newer “brick” buildings only have fake brick “tiles”. Earthquakes.
Nice workmanship. I'm a retired painter but always marvel at the good brick work when I see it.

Homeowners change their minds and opinions all the time. The only thing is this: if it cost you time and money to comply with the change, charge them accordingly.
Great job, I’m a painter and carpenter and can respect this trade. Takes skill and back breaking work!
Awesome, Couldn't agree more!appreciated that!
Do you guys ever get chills down your spine when rubbing 2 bricks together. Reminds me of nails on a chalkboard lmao ❤️

Appreciate your feedback sir, thank you 👍🏻
You guys are top notch. Well done.
I told a guy that the section of wall he was building had to come down. He exploded and asked why, you've got the bricks upside, I said. After a minute he said, these bricks haven't got frogs, you can lay them wrong way up, you prat.
We all laughed, as he realised I was taking the Mick. Always good to have a laugh when you do such hard work.
