A bricklayer’s burden
Bricklayers, also known as stonemasons, mostly work in the construction of offices, houses, and other buildings. You make walls by laying bricks. There are several bricks you can use. You work from bottom to top according to the blueprints. ‘Clean’ bricklaying requires pinpoint accuracy and professional finish. ’Dirty’ bricklaying demands less accuracy because there will be more layers on the wall. Your work solidifies a construction, making it safe. While also providing a base on which construction can continue. These are your core tasks as a bricklayer:
- Bricklaying / Masonry
- Producing mortar
- Working from blueprints
- Smoothing and finishing brickwork
