Michael is a thorough professional and easy to work with.Posted on Google PizTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I engaged the services of IBAC recently for a relatively small job that I should've organised to have completed many years ago when I first had the house constructed. The owner and his trusted companion turned up 1 day after the consultation and completed it for me. No hassles, smooth as silk, and finally a weight off my shoulders. Highly recommended tradesmen and down-to-earth fellas.Posted on Google Cheryl HollingworthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Commercial and civil blockwork
Commercial blockwork and civil blockwork usually comes with tighter site coordination. There are more moving parts, more people on site, and more pressure to keep stages rolling without delays.
We work with builders, project supervisors, and site teams on things like:
- warehouse and factory blockwork
- commercial block walls and service areas
- boundary and security walls
- plant rooms and site structures
- lift shaft blockwork (when scoped to us)
- carpark and basement blockwork (where required)
- council and infrastructure style masonry works
On these jobs, it is not just about laying blocks. It is about keeping communication clear, working to the drawings, and making sure the blockwork lines up with what comes next. If something is off by a little early, it becomes a big problem later. We aim to prevent that by keeping the set out tight and the site coordination simple.
Services that keep your build moving, with quality brickwork and clear communication
Brickwork for new homes, extensions, renovations, feature walls, fences, letterboxes, and repairs.
Brick and block laying for shops, warehouses, developments, and commercial builds.
Structural blockwork and masonry for civil projects where strength and accuracy, matters.
Brick and block retaining wall construction built for stability, clean lines, and long term durability.
Structural blockwork
Structural blockwork is where accuracy really matters. When a wall is load bearing, reinforced, core filled, or grout filled, the work needs to match the drawings. That includes levels, openings, alignment, and any reinforcement details that are part of the plan.
This might include:
- structural block wall builds
- load bearing block wall construction
- reinforced block wall work
- core filled block wall and grout filled block wall construction
- structural blockwork for engineered applications
We keep this simple: if it is structural, it needs to be right. We follow the plan, confirm what needs confirming, and communicate early if something on site does not match what is on paper. That saves time, arguments, and rework.
