Brick, Block and Stone Masonry Services
Masonry is the core of this trade: the line is stretched, the level speaks — we've laid to the same discipline for thirty years.
- Line-and-Level Discipline, Checked Course by Course
- Lintels & Structural Assessment for New Openings
- Brick, Block, Stone & AAC — Technique Matched to Material
- Contractual Workmanship Warranty
Masonry is one of EMC Decor's foundational disciplines — the same hand-craft now runs inside a corporate structure, delivered by specialist masonry teams: brick, block and stone walling, garden and retaining walls, cutting new door and window openings in existing walls (lintel calculation and temporary propping included) and closing unused openings.
Opening a doorway is the most critical item on that list: even in a non-load-bearing wall, the load above must be transferred correctly. The opening is first propped, a steel or precast lintel is placed, and only then is the cut made — never cut first, think later. Where a load-bearing wall is suspected, we do not start without a structural assessment.
Why EMC Decor
Line, level and plumb discipline: flatness measured course by course
Openings: prop and lintel first, cut second — never the reverse
Brick, block, AAC and natural stone — technique matched to material
Structural assessment required where load-bearing is suspected

Akınsoft Plaza Commercial Building Renovation

RISK 01: A newly built wall coming out crooked, doors and windows not fitting
SOLUTION: Every course is checked with line, level and plumb, and openings are sized correctly from the start.
RISK 02: Cutting a doorway cracking the wall above under load
SOLUTION: We prop the opening first, install a steel or precast lintel, and only then make the cut.
RISK 03: Accidentally cutting into a load-bearing wall
SOLUTION: Where wall thickness or drawings raise any doubt, we never cut without a structural engineer's sign-off.

How do you tell if a wall is load-bearing?
Thickness, material, drawings and the loads above are assessed together; for reinforced shear walls or any doubt, no cutting happens without a structural engineer's opinion.
Do you build garden and retaining walls?
Yes — including foundation, drainage and coping details; retaining walls over 1 m are always built to an engineered design.
How long does opening a doorway take, and how dusty is it?
A standard doorway takes 1–2 days including propping and lintel; cutting is done with a water-cooled disc, the zone is sheeted off and industrial vacuums run throughout.
