The Bricklaying component of a house or building is usually the most visual aspect that people will see. The main responsibility for the bricklayer is to construct masonry components accurately and neatly according to the plans, which can often contain quite technical details.

They will begin with exceptional planning and scheduling skills, and continue work with concentration, precision, accuracy, and attention to detail to achieve an excellent finished project. They will work safely and tidily, with resilience and endurance.

The outstanding bricklayer has demonstrated their keen skills in organization, communication, creativity and design, problem solving, and accuracy.
