Builders have been encouraged to budget carefully before deploying their bricklaying tools on site.

According to the Householder's Guide, a construction worker has to have a good idea of how much the materials they need will cost.

This, it said, could help to avoid long and costly delays in the event of a builder running out of essential supplies.

Working out exactly what is needed early on could also help prevent other problems further down the line.

For example, if you need to get a second batch of bricks, it will be hard to find one that matches the colour of the first selection precisely.

As a result, there could be a striking difference if you step back and look at your completed brick structure.

Builders could potentially offset the cost of their materials by ensuring they have quality bricklaying tools that they can use time and time again.

This would ensure that you are not constantly replacing items such as broken bricklaying trowel blades.
