  • Lay blocks and other materials according to established patterns and designs, ensuring that they are level and plumb
  • Apply mortar or other bonding agents between blocks to seal them and create a strong, durable structure
  • Install reinforcing materials, such as steel rods or mesh, to provide additional strength and stability
  • Build new foundations for buildings, including excavation work and pouring of concrete
