Working Procedure

All the bricks to use in construction are soaked well in water so that they don’t absorb water from the mortar. Mortar is spread on the top of the foundation course over an area to be covered by the edges of the wall. The corner of the wall is constructed first. The excess mortar from the sides will squeeze out, which is cleaned off with trowel. The level and the alignment are checked. If the brick is not in level, they are pressed gently further. After having laid the first course at the corner, mortar is laid and spread over the first course and the end stretcher is laid first and hammered it on the laid mortar. Perpends must be kept vertical. This should be checked, as the work proceeds with the help of straight edge and square. After having constructed the wall, jointing and pointing is done.
