A scope built around your property

A repair plan should distinguish worn mortar from damage caused by movement or water entry. Matching the repair approach to the existing masonry matters as much as achieving a consistent appearance. Discuss the extent of removal, replacement materials and any sample areas before work begins.

Work to discuss

  • Repointing of deteriorated mortar joints
  • Replacement of damaged brick within an agreed repair area
  • Coordination with adjacent lintels, flashing and sealant joints

Planning for an occupied facility

For storefronts and offices, identify entrances, public walkways and delivery routes near the work. Share existing drawings, previous repair records and any assessment reports so the scope can account for the surrounding wall.

Project questions

Before the work is scheduled

Does every brick wall need complete repointing?

Not necessarily. The extent of repointing depends on the condition of the joints and the surrounding masonry. A defined repair area may be appropriate; widespread deterioration may require a broader scope.

What should a facility manager provide before a visit?

Share photographs, a description of the problem, access requirements and any existing inspection reports. Note when leaks or damage were first observed and which areas must remain available.

Do repairs include engineering or certification?

Do not assume these are included. Clarify any engineering, inspection, permitting or certification requirements and the responsible parties in the project agreement.
