What is the Nexbrick System?

A system for real brick facades.

Nexbrick is not a single brick product. It is a mechanical brick-facing system designed to make real brick easier to use across modern facade projects. The system allows real brick facings to be mechanically fixed to a backing rail, reducing weight and opening up more options for complex facades, tight sites, prefabricated panels, soffits, curves and difficult junctions.

Why brick facings

The real cost of traditional brickwork is rarely just the bricklaying rate.

Traditional brickwork can be a brilliant solution on the right project. But when access, height, program, weight, material handling, scaffolding or complex detailing become an issue, the costs add up fast.

Brick facings reduce facade weight, simplify material handling and improve installation flexibility, making real brick more practical across tight sites, tall facades, soffits, curves and prefabricated panels.

Nexbrick gives project teams another way to use real brick, particularly when traditional masonry becomes too slow, heavy or hard to coordinate.

Where it works best

Where Nexbrick works best.

Nexbrick is designed for projects where traditional brickwork becomes harder to manage. Here are eight common scenarios where the system delivers.

Talk to our team
01 / 08

Tight sites with limited access

Reduced weight makes material handling easier on tight or hard-to-access sites, while offsite preparation can reduce time, labour and complexity onsite.

02 / 08

Commercial and inner-city projects

Supports larger-scale real brick facade delivery with greater schedule certainty.

03 / 08

Tall facades and scaffold zones

Lower facade weight reduces structural load and simplifies work at height.

04 / 08

Soffits, undersides and junctions

Apply real brick to areas where traditional bricklaying is slow, difficult or impractical.

05 / 08

Curves, custom patterns and detailing

The system supports curved walls, custom bonds and complex architectural angles.

06 / 08

Prefabricated panels and modular buildings

Nexbrick works across panelised, modular and onsite construction, giving builders more flexibility in how real brick facades are delivered.

07 / 08

Premium bricks and material efficiency

With many premium bricks, two usable faces can be cut from one brick, effectively doubling the facade yield and reducing the number of expensive bricks required.

08 / 08

Program and sequencing challenges

Where schedule, sequencing and material handling are major project concerns.

Trusted on real projects

Linacre Rise had some seriously complex corbel work that would have been a real headache through conventional brickwork. The depth of the detail, the setouts, the repeatability, that is where the Nexbrick system genuinely stood out for us. Having those panels prefabricated offsite took a huge amount of pressure off the program. The Krause bricks look the part too. It is the kind of result that is hard to achieve any other way and we would absolutely look at bringing Nexbrick in again on the right project.
John BohanSenior Project Manager, Balmain & Co
Melbourne Masonry Group completed the supply and assembly of offsite modular brick façade panels for our project. The quality of the brickwork and overall workmanship was of a high standard, with the panels delivered on programme and installed without issue. The finished product met the project's architectural requirements and was completed defect free. Melbourne Masonry Group were professional and responsive throughout the works, and we would gladly work with them again on future projects.
Lachlan MooreSenior Project Engineer, Kane Constructions Pty Ltd
When we were designing Project Holland, the return brick detail was a key architectural element we were determined to get right. What impressed me most about Modular Masonry Group was that they understood exactly what we were trying to achieve from the outset, with no back and forth needed. They were responsive, professional and delivered when they said they would. The brick return detail has become one of the standout features of the home, and the quality exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Nexbrick system again.
