Brickwork is a construction consisting of bricks laid in a certain order on the mortar. Rows of bricks, called courses, lie on top of each other, forming brick walls. Bricks laid with a short edge along a wall are called headers; Bricks laid with a long edge along a wall are called stretchers. The thickness of the brickwork is measured by the number of bricks laid in the thickness of the wall, that is, 1 brick, 1.5 bricks, 2 bricks, 2.5 bricks. The thickness of the horizontal joints in the brickwork should be from 10 to 12 mm, the thickness of the vertical joints from 8 to 10 mm. To maintain the horizontality and verticality of the laid bricks use a level, a plumb-line and a builders line.
