Mac & Burg — Regional Developers, est. 2014
Brickwork has a major influence on both the appearance and performance of a building. Accurate setting out, consistent courses and well-executed detailing all contribute to the finished result, particularly when brickwork forms a prominent part of the exterior.
Our experienced tradespeople combine practical building knowledge with close attention to detail. Around 90% of our work is kept in house, giving us greater control over workmanship, timescales and activity on site.
From substantial new construction to individual architectural details, our focus is on brickwork that is accurately built, carefully finished and made to stand the test of time.
Who We Work With
The requirements of a brickwork project vary according to the building, design and scale of construction. We work with private clients and professional project teams to deliver masonry that meets both practical and architectural requirements.
Private Clients and Self-Builders
For a bespoke home, extension or other substantial building project, the quality of the external brickwork can define the appearance of the finished property.
We can work from architectural plans to deliver facing brickwork and masonry details in keeping with the wider design. Careful setting out and attention to materials help create a high-quality finish across the building.
Developers and Contractors
We work with developers and contractors requiring experienced brickwork support for larger construction projects.
Our practical approach allows us to work alongside the wider site team, following project drawings and specifications while maintaining close attention to the accuracy and standard of the masonry.
Owners of Period and Character Properties
Existing properties can require a different approach, particularly where new brickwork needs to sit alongside older materials and established architectural details.
Where appropriate, care can be taken over the choice and appearance of materials so that new masonry complements the existing property rather than looking out of place.
What We Build
Our brickwork services cover structural and visible masonry across a range of building projects. Our work can include:
The requirements of each project are established around the plans, specification and intended appearance of the finished building.
Quality From the Ground Up
Mac & Burg was founded on a commitment to high-quality construction using skilled tradespeople, quality materials and modern building methods.
Good brickwork starts long before a wall reaches its finished height. Setting out, material preparation and accuracy throughout construction all contribute to the quality of the completed masonry.
Our teams pay close attention to alignment, levels, courses and mortar joints as the work progresses. Where facing bricks are used, the distribution of materials also needs care to help achieve a balanced appearance across the elevation.
Materials must be handled and stored appropriately on site, while newly completed masonry needs suitable protection from adverse weather. These practical details form an important part of maintaining standards throughout construction.
The result should be structurally sound brickwork with a finish that complements the building and reflects the quality of the wider project.
Our Approach to Brickwork
We follow a clear process, adapting the work to the drawings, specification and requirements of each project.

Experience Across Brickwork and Masonry
Our wider construction experience gives us an understanding of how brickwork relates to the other elements of a building.
Masonry needs to work accurately with openings, structural elements, rooflines and the materials around it. Getting these relationships right is particularly important on larger buildings and properties with detailed architectural designs.
Our hands-on knowledge allows us to work effectively from construction drawings while maintaining the craftsmanship required for visible brickwork.
From structural masonry to the details that shape the character of an elevation, we approach brickwork as an integral part of the finished building.
