What is a Bricklayer?
Bricklayers work in various aspects of building and  construction. Bricklaying and masonry work are major parts of industrial, commercial and residential construction. Brick layers also build walls, partitions, chimneys and other structural forms from brick, block or other masonry materials using mortar for bonding. The primary tools of the trade are trowels, chisels, joiners, block hammers and power saws.

Much of a bricklayer's work is done outdoors and generally depends upon suitable weather conditions. Bricklaying is a trade involving a lot of stooping and lifting. Bricklayers need to be able to work in a variety of situations requiring close tolerances and must be able to work well at different heights.
