A Bricklaying worker can progress to technician level and then after to construction management.
The standard of bricklaying must be sound as it is literally the foundation on which everything else is built.
The art to bricklaying is to use bricks with clean faces and to plumb and level in a straight line from end to end.
It is not unusual for a number of bricklaying gangs to work on different sections of a building job.
It’s unfortunate that the novice homesteader will often make the assumption that bricklaying is easy.
Bricklaying is a true craft and art form. It is also one of the oldest trades throughout the world.
As well as being physically demanding, bricklaying involves long periods of standing and lifting of heavy materials.
Bricklaying is a highly skilled trade that can take many years to truly master.
A good indication of quality bricklaying is to look at the outside of a completed wall and check the verticality of the perps.
In the UK a bricklaying labourer may earn up to £16,000 a year.
