Agree on a realistic timeline before signing the contract. Weather delays can push back curing times. Ask how many days they allocate for each section. Clarify what happens if rain stops work. Vague schedules lead to disputes. Get the start and end dates in writing.
Brick walls need airflow to prevent mold. Ask about the size of weep holes at the bottom. These small gaps let trapped water escape. A pro leaves a 12 mm opening at intervals. Blocked vents cause dampness to rise into the plaster. Check how they protect these holes during construction. Debris easily falls in. Ask for a final cleaning of every single opening.
Look for uniform joint widths between bricks. Standard joints usually measure 10 mm. Uneven gaps indicate poor technique or rushed work. Ask the mason to point joints cleanly. Sloppy pointing lets water in easily. Consistent joints show attention to detail and structural integrity.
High walls require stable access platforms. Ask how many points anchor the scaffolding to the ground. Unstable towers wobble dangerously. Workers move too fast when they feel unsafe. This leads to dropped tools or bad brick placement. Inspect the base plates. They must sit on solid ground, not soil. Safety delays often cause schedule slippage. A good setup prevents both accidents and bad work.
Verify the wall is perfectly vertical and level. Use a long level or laser tool. Check every few meters along the wall length. A tilted wall looks bad and fails structurally. Ask the professional to show you the measurements. Do not accept a wall that leans noticeably.
Never pay the full amount upfront. Split payments by completed sections. Ask for specific deliverables for each release. For example, pay after the foundation layer cures. Withholding funds gives you leverage. If bricklaying stops, you stop paying. Ask for a detailed invoice. Vague line items hide extra costs. Keep cash reserves for unexpected repairs. Protect your financial stake throughout the project.
Discuss how water will drain away from the new wall. Ask about damp-proof courses or flashing details. Ensure the top edge sheds water correctly. Poor drainage causes rot and stain damage later. Verify the plan addresses specific local weather patterns effectively.
Brick shades vary significantly between batches. Order extra units from the same batch. Ask the mason to mix batches on-site. Blending different tones prevents obvious color stripes. Look at the sample wall in afternoon light. Colors shift as the sun moves. Ask about the curing process effect on shade. Some bricks darken slightly after drying. Confirm the final look before full completion.
Clarify who orders and receives materials. Bricks are heavy and fragile. Ask if delivery fees are included in the quote. Check if the site has space for stacking materials safely. Improper storage ruins bricks before use. Confirm the delivery schedule matches the work start date.
Ask how they handle damaged bricks during transport. Broken units need immediate replacement. Patching with inferior material creates weak spots. Demand a protocol for on-site breakage. The pro should keep spare stock nearby. Check if they match the texture of old bricks. Repairs must blend seamlessly. Ask for a written guarantee on replacements. Hidden defects appear months later. You need a contact for fixes.
