Brickwork and External Insulation QA Checklist

by Sebastian Szabo, from the Community

This brickwork and external insulation quality assurance checklist helps contractors verify compliance and workmanship on site. It covers brick type selection, consistent 10 mm mortar beds, correct placement of movement joints with channels and ties, proper brick tie spacing, and use of compressible materials. It also checks Tyvek membrane installation over weather defence boards, rainscreen insulation panels, cavity trays and weep holes, fire barriers, plumb and level courses, cavity voids, and final sign off.

Brickwork Quality Inspection Checklist (Level 1)
Use this Level 1 brickwork quality inspection to confirm setting out to current architectural drawings, check window and door openings for width, height and plumb, and verify coursing, perp joints and permitted tolerances. Inspect movement joints, cavity ties and brick reinforcement, and confirm lintel installation and bearing as specified. Verify Keyfix cavity trays and movement ties, weep vents, and insulation (Rainscreen Duo Slab) fit, spacing and continuity. Check brick tie channels, compression sleeves, and masonry support locations, bolt torque and pull-out testing. Confirm fire and cavity barriers (Siderise) are approved, correctly fixed, sealed and tightly abutted, with non-combustible DPC where required. Optional stonework checks included. Finish with cavity cleanliness, site tidiness, notes and sign-offs for Callan Construction and the principal contractor.
