Designing with brick requires more than aesthetic choices. It demands sound technical understanding to ensure long-term performance and compliance. This CPD explores the critical factors that influence brickwork design, including brick properties, durability ratings, movement joints and mortar selection.
 
The session provides practical guidance on detailing and applying relevant British Standards, as well as strategies to avoid common problems such as frost damage, cracking and poor visual outcomes. Attendees will also explore best practice approaches to setting out, curved brickwork and the use of precast solutions for more complex designs.
 
This CPD is ideal for those developing their knowledge of brickwork design and specification, helping ensure brickwork meets structural, aesthetic and regulatory requirements with confidence.
