Block Laying in South Brisbane Building
The most obvious component of a building is its Block Laying in South Brisbane.
The size, colour and texture of the bricks together with the mortar colour and
joint finish will combine to give a particular look. Decisions on bricklaying
will have to complement the building's style, roofing material and colour,
window and door frame colour as well as the driveway and landscaping style.
The bricklayer's job is to study the plans and lay bricks to
construct perpendicular walls from perfectly horizontal layers of bricks. Some
builders prefer to set out a slab themselves with chalk lines to delineate the
exact location of brick walls. This makes the bricklayer's task less
complicated. Set out is usually best done prior to the delivery of bricks when
the slab is clear of obstructions. When the bricklayers arrive on site they
should have brides, brickies' sand, cement, wall ties, waterproofing additive,
lintels, brick bond wire and reinforcing rods, flashing material, all door and
window frames and their accessories (clips) accessible to them. Their job is to
assemble all these inputs. Bricklayers commonly work in teams of between two
and four. This part of the construction takes longest since it is pretty labour
intensive
The first job for the bricklayers would be to set out the
building. They should not use the concreter's lines without checking they're
correct. All setbacks must be double checked. They'll then proceed to brush
down any sand that has accumulated on the footing and slab. A mortar mix with
waterproof additive will probably be smeared about 5mm thick over the whole
upright edge of the slab. The purpose of this would be to prevent moisture
penetrating the slab and is followed by the laying of the very first course of
brickwork of the external walls. No mortar is placed on the perpendicular joint
(perp) of each fourth brick.
When the building
plans are drawn up, all wall lengths and openings will need to be in
brick-course lengths. The bricklayer should not need to snip bricks and end up
with a broken bond. This is especially vital at entry areas, which might be
really prominent.
Of course, the bricklayer needs to be given clear instructions
as to the type of finish that's required. There's a large range of mortar joint
types and each one will give a different appearance.
