BRICKLAYER

What does a Bricklayer do?

A Bricklayer is a skilled craftsworker who using his talents and training puts masonry units (brick, block, stone, marble and granite) in place to create efficient, long lasting, and beautiful structures. Some structures include but are not limited to commercial and residential buildings, schools, fireplaces and chimneys, garden walls, sidewalks and patios, and interior partitions. Our allied crafts include stonemason, marble setter & finisher, tile setter & finisher, cement mason, terrazzo worker & finisher, restoration (PCC), and plasterer.

Working conditions

A Bricklayer’s work consists of lifting masonry materials such as brick, block, and stone while using a variety of tools associated with the trade. Work can be very strenuous and requires both good physical condition, and strength. Work is performed at various sites throughout our local region and bordering states. While masonry products are used both on the interior and exterior of buildings, weather conditions can play an important role and inhibit work. Bricklayers will find themselves working on various projects and at different heights using a supported scaffold as a workstation.
