What it is

In an RCC-framed home, masonry fills the frame as walls. Load-bearing masonry, where walls carry the floors, is used in smaller and older buildings.

Key points

  • Brick, block or stone units
  • Laid in bonds so joints do not line up
  • Infill walls in RCC frames
  • Load-bearing walls in older homes

Why it matters

Straight, plumb masonry with full joints saves plaster and avoids cracks later.

How Elamentt handles it

Our masons build to the line and level, and our engineer checks plumb and joints as walls go up.

Next step

See it on your
own plot.

Our studio turns your plot size into a plan, a 3D model built stage by stage, and a list of the cement, steel, bricks and sand it needs. Or ask an engineer.
