Builders or should i say brickies? Anyway how much would a brickie working for a company earn in north east of scotland roughly? Anyone on here in a trade wouldnt mind telling me your trade and salary?

I'd guess about £200ish a week?

Brickies are on good money I tell you that, more then £200 a week anyway.

I thought, like most trades, the real money is in working for yourself?

£200 a week?

A lot more than that. My uncle is a brickie but I'm not certain what he earns. More than £200 a week though.

I got £80 for labouring on a Saturday for a few hours once for a brickie. Just for one day's work.

They were getting about €1 a Brick over here not so long ago. Was working out at over €1000 a week. Not sure how its going now as the boom is starting to ease off.
