Bricks, concrete blocks and masonry in Australia

Updated 4 November 2026

A standard hollow grey concrete block costs about A$2.95 to A$4.50 each in Australia, and a cored brick about A$1.85. A pallet of 500 solid bricks with crane-truck delivery was listed at A$665. The quickest way to get a price for your job is a request on BlaBlaPrice with the quantity and delivery address.

Standards for masonry and what to check

Clay and concrete bricks are manufactured to the Australian masonry standard AS/NZS 4455.1 and tested to AS/NZS 4456. For load-bearing walls, Australian Standards require a minimum characteristic compressive strength of 5 MPa, so ask the seller for the strength rating and the standard the units meet. A concrete slab that is installed correctly should comply with AS3600.

Weather and timing

Summer runs December to February and winter June to August. Concrete cures more slowly in cold winter weather and dries too fast in summer heat, so November is a common time to pour and lay. If the stock will sit outside on pallets, ask for it to be covered in wet weather, and plan delivery around your pour or wall schedule.

How materials are bought and delivered

Prices are in Australian dollars, quoted per block, per brick or per pallet, and sizes are metric, such as 390 x 190 x 190 mm and 230 x 110 x 76 mm. Ask whether the price includes delivery to the site. A full pallet may need a crane truck, which is a separate charge. Name your city, because delivery prices depend on the distance between Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide and your site.

What to put in your request

List the material (block, brick, paver or steel), the size and strength, the quantity, the manufacturer if you want a particular make, the delivery address, the date you need it and your budget. Exact sizes let several suppliers quote the same product.

BlaBlaPrice's AI reads your request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia.
