CPCCBL3006 - Lay multi-thickness walls and piers
Overview
This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to lay multi-thickness walls and piers. It includes laying masonry walls in different brick bonds and laying engaged and isolated piers.
This unit applies to bricklayers and blocklayers who work on a new or existing structures. It is suitable for people operating with some autonomy. A person working at this level would be expected to take responsibility for organising and completing tasks assigned to them without needing close supervision.
