About masonry and bricklaying activities

NACE code 43.91 covers the masonry and bricklaying activities, which are essential components of the construction industry. This sector plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of buildings, infrastructure, and other structures. Masonry and bricklaying activities involve the skilled craftsmanship of laying and shaping bricks, stones, and other masonry materials to create durable and aesthetically pleasing structures that contribute to the built environment.

Production process

The main production techniques in the masonry and bricklaying industry involve the careful selection, preparation, and placement of masonry materials. Skilled workers use a variety of tools, such as trowels, levels, and mortar mixers, to lay bricks, stones, and other masonry units in a precise and organized manner. The process often includes the use of mortar, which binds the materials together, and the application of finishing touches, such as pointing and grouting, to ensure the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of the final product.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for masonry and bricklaying activities include raw materials such as bricks, stones, cement, sand, and water. Additionally, specialized tools and equipment, such as trowels, levels, and mortar mixers, are essential for the production process. Skilled labor, with expertise in masonry techniques and construction methods, is a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the masonry and bricklaying industry are the various masonry structures and components that are used in the construction of buildings, infrastructure, and other built environments. These outputs may include load-bearing walls, foundations, chimneys, and decorative features. The masonry and bricklaying industry's outputs are often consumed by other construction-related NACE codes, such as 41.20 Construction of residential and non-residential buildings, 42.11 Construction of roads and motorways, and 43.99 Other specialised construction activities n.e.c..
