What Do Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Do?
Plastering, tile laying, terrazzo and marble work and cleaning, pointing and restoration of older buildings, and of course, laying bricks–you can see the many jobs skilled bricklayers do. Work in the bricklaying trade is a combination of both physical and mental activity. You must first develop the dexterity to use the tools and place masonry materials efficiently, with high quality workmanship. Next, you must learn to understand mathematics and its application to building materials and gain a thorough knowledge of construction blueprints.
