Bricklayers lay bricks, concrete blocks and pre-cut stone in order to build and repair buildings, paved areas and walls. To do this they consult building plans, take measurements and use mortar to bind bricks together. They may also do ornamental brickwork, creating coloured or shaped patterns in buildings, walls, floors or archways.
Tasks:
- Construct ornamental brickwork and arches
- Build from plans
- Use damp-resistant materials to seal foundations
- Cut and shape bricks
- Repair and maintain bricks
