    This method statement describes the construction process for masonry walls using blocks. It outlines the planning, inspection, equipment, personal protective equipment, and sequencing of tasks. Key steps include setting out the wall gridlines, laying blocks using mortar in uniform joints, installing reinforcement every 3 courses, and ensuring proper installation of lintels and damp proof courses. Hazards and risks are identified in a separate risk assessment. Quality control will be done using a brickwork checklist.

    DPC shall be provided in all exernal wall at the level of the top of concrete floor slab and 150mm above
    3.5 ground floor and below any ground floor slab. DPC shall fully cover all the block thickness and an
    overlap a minimum of 150mm to be installed.
    Cavity walls shall be so made to remove all the excess of mortar that falls into the cavity trays during the
    3.6
    laying of blocks and wheepholes shall be considering for cavity ventilation.
