Dayton Building and Construction Apprenticeship Council

Bricklayers

Becoming a Bricklayer makes you a part of the oldest and most highly respected of the skilled construction trades. Bricklayers work with a variety of materials - brick, block, stone, pre-cast masonry panels and marble- using mortar and trowels.

Other tools of the trade are chisels, jointers, mason hammers, levels and power saws. Welding is also taught to the bricklayer to expand their construction skills.

Bricklayers work in all types of weather and at various buildings, churches, commercial and industrial buildings, homes and schools. Several different styles of bricklaying will also be taught to diversify and beautify your work.
