Building your new home or extending your current home is a big financial investment but we can help you save money as well as the environment.

As most home owners know, building your own home or renovating/extending your home can cost a fortune. Just getting plans drawn up and permits lodged will cost you money and that's all before you have even started any works.

Here at EcoGroup we always try to find ways to preserve our environment but hopefully we can also save you some money too.

• Buying recycled brick for your project can save you approximately 20% on your materials costs.

• Choose cheaper bricks for your footings, internal walls or rendered walls. Our bricks go through a sorting a grading process whilst being put on pallets. Pallets are made from single job lots so that colour and type of brick can be kept consistent throughout the pallet. 

• Lets use face red bricks as an example. Our best bricks are pallet-ed together and sold as A grade bricks (our most popular brick). So when buying large quantities, colour and grade of brick will be kept consistent. 

• If a red comes through our processing line that isn't A grade quality but usually have at least one good face, we categorise these as rustics. Rustics even though consistent in colour and are red they are sold for a cheaper price.

• Next down the grades are Builders. These bricks aren't always red. You can get a whole range of colours in the one pallet. You might not get a clean face with these bricks. Which is why they are great for internal walls or if you are rendering. They are sold at our cheapest price for whole bricks. Using Builders could save you thousands of dollars in your overall build costs.

• Buy recycled roof tiles could save you up to 20% off your total roofing costs. Obviously this is dependent on the roof tile you choose and the amount of intricate ornaments and accessories that you can use to accompany your roof.

Here are just a few ways to save yourself some money during your building works. If you would like to hear more information about our range of bricks, then we would love to hear from you.

Finding your perfect brick.

When you have a clear idea in your mind of what you are looking for, nothing else will do. Espescially if you are designing your multi million dollar mansion on the Gold Coast.

This designer knew that they wanted to incorporate a rustic look into their modern contemporary home in the prestigioius Isle of Capri, QLD, and didn't stop the hunt until they found these gorgeous recycled bricks in Victoria. There isn't much supply available in Queensland of recycled bricks, so the designers had to head south.  No expense was spared and these feature wall bricks were freighted by road train all the way up the East coast. You must admit they look sensational in this exclusive residence.

Have you seen our recycled crushed brick?

Some people can get a little confused by just how we create these amazing products.

Let us shed some light on it for you.

We demolish houses and buildings around Victoria. The materials from these demolition jobs comes to our Clayton yard where we have numerous machines that sift, separate, and sort the materials. Any brick that comes through our cleaning process is stacked in pallets and re-sold.

The bricks that don't meet our high standards get put aside to be crushed.

Various sized screens are placed under our crushing machines and these screens sort our crushed brick into various sizes. We supply everything from brick dust for tennis court toppings all the way through to 75mm products that can create access roads.

Landscapers and gardeners love our products for creating beautiful paths, driveways, providing sub-base and drainage with our aggregates or simply as a garden bed topping similar or mulch.

So why not choose to divert these materials from landfill, recycle right! Contact us today for more information.
