  • Bricklayer Level 2

    Bricklayer Level 2

    Bricklayer Level 2 Rev. July 2004 Bricklayer Unit: B3 Blueprint Use l Level: Two Duration: 30 hours Theory: 10 hours Practical: 20 hours Overview: Bricklayers and stonemasons must be able to use blueprints and entire sets of blueprints with ease and accuracy. Blueprint interpretation involves learning to make sense of special symbols, codes, and conventions used to convey information to those on the bench, shopfloor, and installation jobsite. The set of blueprints required for a typical institutional or commercial project is organized like a large book. It contains hundreds of cross-referenced, dimensioned images, multiple perspectives (‘elevations’), cross-sectional views, and varying degrees of detail. But even the blueprints for a simple masonry component seem complex until blueprint use is mastered. Many of the basic rules for creating and using blueprints were introduced in Unit B2 with respect to drawing and design conventions in general. The instructional content here, however, stresses the use of blueprints to provide, generate, and verify important information about masonry project requirements. The unit also describes how these indispensable documents are produced and used by specialists who are responsible for different aspects of a masonry project. The examples discussed here chiefly involve relatively simple, residential projects. Later in Technical training, bricklayer apprentices have the opportunity to use blueprints involving more complex projects in the commercial/institutional construction sector. Percent of Objectives and Content: Unit Mark (%) 1. Describe the basic taxonomy of blueprints with particular reference to 10% masonry components. a. Divisions • Architectural • Structural • Mechanical • Electrical • Other as specified by instructor b.

    Bricklayer / Stonemason

    Bricklayer / Stonemason At a Glance Bricklayers build houses and other structures by stacking bricks, stones, or concrete blocks. They secure the corners to make sure the bricks are straight, and use mortar to bind them together. 16 Career Clusters Architecture & Construction Earnings Earnings Range: 11 - 37/hr Level of Education • High School • 2-Year College or Technical Training Core Tasks • Work out the amount of mortar and bricks needed • Use a hammer and chisel or a saw to cut bricks or stones to size • Stack bricks, stones, or blocks in rows to build walls • Spread mortar between bricks to bond them together • Make sure walls are straight using levels and plumb lines Attributes & Abilities • Physically fit • Hand-eye coordination • Able to read blueprints • Safety conscious Workplace • Work for construction companies or as self-employed contractors • Work outdoors most of the time • A lot of exposure to mud, mortar, and dust • Wear safety boots and hard hats Job Description Bricklaying is one of the oldest building methods. From the pyramids to the Great Wall of China, people have been stacking bricks for tens of thousands of years. This is truly an ancient trade! Today, bricklayers build more modern structures for everyday use. The materials and tools may have changed, but the basic principles remain the same. Bricklayers build just about anything that can be made by stacking concrete bricks or blocks. They often construct the walls of houses and other buildings. But, they may also make smaller elements of houses such as chimneys and fireplaces. They install firebrick linings, too. These are special bricks that can withstand a lot of heat.

They must be knowledgeable in every step of the process, from planning to the selection of materials and building.
  • Bricklayer Level 3

    Bricklayer Level 3

    Bricklayer Level 3 Rev. July 2004 Bricklayer Unit: A5 Orientation ll: The Job of Journeywork Level: Three Duration: 14 hours Theory: 7 hours Practical: 7 hours Overview: Bricklayer Technical training offers an initial orientation to the special challenges of apprenticeship learning. The present unit of instruction introduces senior apprentices to the responsibilities of workplace teaching that they will assume as supervising journeypersons. Bricklayers and stonemasons have a particularly rich, time-honoured tradition of ensuring the transmission of skills from generation to generation of trade practice. The purpose of this unit is to provide senior apprentices with some of the tools they will need to contribute to this trade heritage once they are certified. The journeyperson’s obligation to assist trade learners to develop skills and knowledge is a complex and challenging one. It involves employer expectations, provincial regulations, as well as the tradition of skills stewardship that links modern practice with the history of workplace teaching and learning that defines the apprenticeable trades. The ability to offer timely, appropriate guidance to apprentices is itself a key aspect of trade learning. The content of this unit offers background information as well as practical tools intended to refine the ability and inclination to provide this guidance. The unit encourages senior apprentices to reflect upon their personal experience of trade learning with journeypersons as a resource for refining their skills as Practical Trainers-in- training. The unit supplements this with important information about the responsibilities and opportunities which accompany trade certification, particularly concerning roles and methods associated with journey-level supervision assignments in modern trade workplaces.

A guide to analysis discusses development, structure, and validation method; scope of the occupation; trends; and safety. To facilitate understanding the nature of the occupation, work performed is divided into these categories:(1) blocks, the largest divisions in the analysis that reflect distinct operations relevant to the occupation;(2) tasks, the distinct activities that in combination make up the logical and necessary steps the worker is required to perform to complete a specific assignment in a block; and (3) sub-tasks, the smallest divisions into which it is practical to subdivide any work activity and which, in combination, fully describe all duties constituting a task.
