Masonry
Masonry is and remains a traditional construction method, but it continues to evolve over time.
The masonry sector therefore forms the backbone of construction: it determines the quality, stability and durability of a building, as well as its aesthetic appearance and energy performance.
This trade requires precision and technical knowledge to ensure both structural quality and overall finishing.
Working with certified materials and construction systems, as well as skilled labour that masters proper execution techniques, is therefore essential to guarantee the quality and safety of structures.

Masonry: the assembly of bricks and mortar, but above all… the combination of an age-old technique and innovation
In a global context where reducing CO₂ emissions, the responsible use of raw materials and circularity have become unavoidable topics, the masonry sector is keeping pace.
Three key trends stand out:
Circularity
The reuse of bricks is gaining momentum. However, ensuring the proper performance of reclaimed bricks in a new building is not always easy as today’s construction details and building methods differ from those of the past.
The search for alternatives
Two striking examples are the emergence of unfired clay bricks and cement-free concrete blocks. The market may nevertheless question whether these new products offer sufficient performance for their intended applications.
Dematerialisation
Brick slips (in clay or concrete) and reduced-width bricks (70 mm, or even 60 mm) make it possible to use less material while maintaining the building’s final aesthetic appearance.
