Bricklaying
Bricklaying held to a finish-trade standard — straight courses, clean joints, matched mortar. New work, repair and feature.
Scope of work
What's included
The deliverables we hold inside a bricklaying contract — written for this trade, not boilerplate.

Feature walls
Internal and external feature walls — stack bond, header courses, recessed joints.
Retaining walls
Engineered retaining with proper drainage, weep holes and ag-line.
Repointing

Brick matching & repairs
Salvaged and matched bricks for seamless repair of damaged walls.
Letterboxes & piers
Detail brick elements that finish the front of the home properly.
