The main objective of this report is to determine the method of wall bricklaying process of load-bearing wall. It will concentrate on a method use in wall construction and the way how it carried out. In addition, this report will emphasis on the overall bricklaying wall construction procedure. It also analyses the materials and tools needed in bricklaying wall construction techniques, as well as the problem and solution in wall building that would meet the load bearing wall specifications.
