Masonry construction is a building technique that utilizes individual units (such as bricks, blocks, stones, or concrete) and mortar to create wall systems, arches, and other architectural elements. The individual units are usually laid in a pattern, such as running bond or stack bond, and held together with mortar, which provides stability and strength to the structure. Masonry construction can be found in many different architectural styles and is known for its durability and fire resistance.
