bricklayers
Mortar and trowel workers
Bricklayers are workers who build structures by laying bricks in mortar.
The trade requires skill in maintaining level courses, cutting bricks to fit, and working efficiently before mortar sets.
The bricklayers started on the foundation at dawn.
The term extends to anyone who does careful, methodical construction work.
