• Bricklayer (Mason)

A Bricklayer (AKA "Mason") uses bricks, concrete blocks, stone, structural tiles and other materials to construct or repair walls, foundations and other structures. They are also responsible for preparing surfaces to be covered and mixing ingredients they'll need like mortar or cement. Preparatory work such as caulking and cleaning and placing damp proofing and masonry flashing is also done by Bricklayers. Bricklayers do a variety of residential work including restoring damaged brick work, putting up ornamental or retaining walls and constructing brick driveways, patios, chimneys, and glass block walls. As brick-related products have evolved in recent years, Bricklayers have also become involved in laying bricks, stone or similar materials to provide veneer facing to walls and fireplaces and other decorative installations. Prefabricated materials, mortarless bricks, and factory-assembled panelized masonry are trends that have changed the nature of Bricklaying work.

Bricklayer is a nationally designated trade under the Interprovincial Standards Red Seal Program.
