What This Service Involves
Masonry & Wall Construction concerns the practical planning, specification, installation and review of the corresponding building work. Typical work activities include brick and block wall construction, mortar joints, bonding and reinforcement details, openings, lintels and surface preparation. The final design, technical responsibilities, materials, permits, safety requirements and contract scope must be checked for the specific building, operating conditions and applicable regulations. Confirm whether each wall is load-bearing or non-load-bearing, and coordinate movement joints, moisture resistance, embedded services and applicable structural requirements.
