Masonry

To be checked during the construction work and prior to paying the subcontractors
Check the delivery slip to make sure that you have received all the items you ordered.
Check the condition of the products upon delivery.
Brick rows must be level. The bricks must be aligned uniformly and according to the desired motif.
The joint must be uniform in terms of width and color.
Sheet metal must be positioned horizontally at maximum 36″ and vertically at maximum 18″.
The spigots must be spaced at the most at 32″.
Check that there is flashing above the angle irons as well as a sealing joint.
Check that the brick, windows, and overall area have been cleaned.

Take advice from the mason. This applies to all of the subcontractors, but in particular those carrying out the exterior coating work, because the finished look of the house depends to a large extent on the competence of these subcontractors.
Check with the mason that the windows stand out enough and that the foundations include the necessary space for the brickwork.
Provide the mason with a copy of the work plan, clearly indicating any special motifs to be prepared, if required.
It is very important to properly seal the base of the wall to ensure that it is watertight.
Ideally, the brickwork should be parallel to the foundations, extending beyond it by 3/8″.
Protect the bricks from rain and mud. A wet brick reacts different than a dry brick on the mortar joints.
And if the windows are not all installed, the mason will not be able to finish his work.
Once the brickwork is finished, protect the base of the wall from stains which can be caused by rainfall, by placing a tar paper on the ground.
Order the exterior ramps at this stage.
