Bricklayer jobs in Hong Kong
A bricklayer's pay in Hong Kong depends on the job, and the only public wage figure we found is old: a public-sector series reported HK$1,379.60 a day in September 2018, with an all-time high of HK$1,625. For current offers, post the job on BlaBlaPrice and state the pay you can offer in HK$ per day or per job.
What the pay depends on
- Type of work: block or brick walls, partitions or repairs
- Pay basis: daily rate, rate per square metre or a fixed price for the job
- Workplace and schedule: the city, daily hours and start date
- Employment type: employed or subcontracted, and solo or in a team
- Experience in years, and whether accommodation is provided
Local rules and training
Bricklaying and plastering can be learned on a certificate course with free tuition and a basic allowance of HK$10,000 a month, paid according to attendance. On a construction site the contractor's duties are set by the Construction Sites (Safety) Regulations (Cap. 59I), so ask the employer which site rules apply, including emergency escape where there is an excavation.
Demand and the season
Hong Kong has a summer from June to August and a winter from December to February. Openings exist: in September 2026 a job board listed seven bricklayer vacancies on Hong Kong Island, and the board says new jobs are added daily. Check the start date against the season the project runs in, because outdoor work is affected by the weather.
How the work is paid and measured here
Measurements are metric: wall areas in square metres and blocks in millimetres. Ask whether the pay includes tools and transport between the city and the site, since the work may be in Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun.
What to write in your request
Say the type of work (brick or block walls, partitions, repairs), the city, the schedule, whether the job is employed or subcontracted, whether you work solo or with a team, your years of experience and whether accommodation is needed. A short photo of the wall or site helps a seller judge the size of the job.
Describe the job in your own words in the chat and add a photo if you have one. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for the details it still needs and looks through local sellers' websites and price lists in Hong Kong, then shows what it finds. Businesses registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their offer, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide to share them. Using BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers.
