Most bricklayers have qualifications but alot dont. If hes not very good then get rid before causes you more damage.

Level 2 construction certification, most bricks don't have this though as it is a learn on the job sort of thing

David · Answer

Always ask to see references and pictures of previous jobs in your area any clown can hold a trowel but it takes 4 yrs college to use one and also when get past references ask to speak to the past customer because any one can fake pictures for a job ask around about the builder you intend to use

Nicolas · Answer

Some builders leans by working experience and some by attending training either of them proves experience  some people can obtain qualifications and jet not hard enough sites working experience  and some but these who learn from working experience have practical skills  the only way to know a good one reference from the work they have done for some car already

Eric · Answer

Ha just read some comments I think Allan construction or builders ? Is right in what he’s saying sometimes those with all qualifications carnt do the practicality side of things and are U S !! Got them at my works , always do your homework and don’t be fooled as there is plenty of chancers out there !! Called cowboys , who don’t think nothing about just ripping you off , so don’t pay upfront pay in stages as the work  progresses, best of luck .
