Fifth Edition
By
J. C. Hodge, Former Senior Lecturer, Northern Polytechnic, London, U.K.
Malcolm Thorpe, Formerly Head of Technology, West Notts College, U.K., and Adviser to CITB in draughting the ICA syllabus.
Description
Brickwork for Apprentices
has been the established reference on brickwork for generations of bricklayers. Continuously
in print since 1944, John Hodge?s classic text has now been fully revised in its fifth edition by Malcolm Thorpe – who acted as a CITB
Advisor and was involved in the draughting of the Intermediate Construction Award syllabus (bricklaying route) – to cover the brickwork
craft-related units of the latest Construction Awards and related Trowel Occupations NVQs from CITB / City & Guilds at Levels 2 and 3.
The fifth edition incorporates extended coverage on the relatively new area of thin joint systems, to match the latest industry-based
requirements and technical developments in the field. Content has been brought fully in line with recent changes to the Building Regulations,
ensuring that this text will remain an essential reference for qualified bricklayers and other professionals working in the construction
industry, as well as NVQ students new to the industry and wishing to embark on a career in bricklaying.
A new feature in this edition
is the inclusion of multiple choice questions at the back of the book, matched to the current NVQ requirements, to provide students of
the CITB / City & Guilds Trowel Occupations NVQs with essential practice and revision for exam preparation.
Audience
Further education students: Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced Construction Awards (bricklaying route) and Trowel Occupations NVQs
Level 2/3 from CITB / City & Guilds. Professional reference: practising bricklayers; site supervisors; site managers; site engineers;
architects, designers, technicians.
