What is Masonry?

Masonry is the construction of buildings using bricks, concrete blocks, natural stones, and artificial stones, which are joined together with cement mortar. Masonry workers, also known as masons, construct walls, pathways, and other structures.

What is Formwork?

Formwork refers to the entire system of supports used with concrete, including mold, sheeting, shores, reshores, hardware, bracing, and associated hardware, which is used with freshly put or partially cured concrete.

Is There a Difference Between Concrete and Masonry in Construction?

Concrete is a type of construction material composed of aggregate gravel, pebbles, stone pieces, or slag combined with mortar or cement.

Masonry, on the other hand, consists of putting together structures made of individual pieces that are joined together with mortar. Brick, stone, and concrete blocks are the three materials most frequently used in masonry constructions. The many benefits of masonry make it a popular building method. Masonry also refers to the actual construction materials, such as brick and stone.

How Long is my Masonry Certificate Valid?

Your masonry and concrete certificate is valid for three years after its issue date. After expiration, you must either take a refresher training course or retake the original course.
