• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• With roughly 7h 39m of daylight in Corby around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Choosing bricks

Engineering Class A or B?

Class A is the denser of the two and is usually chosen where strength or very low water absorption matters; Class B is the common choice below DPC and for manholes; a brick DPC course in a building needs Class A (DPC1). Your designer or building control may specify one.

Colour consistency

Order everything for one job at the same time so the bricks come from the same production run, then mix from three or four packs as you lay to blend any variation.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.
