Brickwork at Wall Head

Wall Head

Brickwork at Wall Head – It is at this stage the build project has reached another important part of its construction. The walls are at a height where the roof framing can be added, but before this happens the walls are best checked for suitability, are they built to correct heights? are the wall heads level? are the walls straight and plumb? are room dimensions correct? These are a few of the items that need to be looked at, once the roof has been constructed it is often difficult to rectify any issues.

“If a building looks better under construction than it does when finished, then it’s a failure.” – Doug Coupland
