When answering this question, focus on your hands-on experience with different types of bricks (e.g., clay bricks, concrete blocks, engineering bricks) and mortar (e.g., lime mortar, cement mortar). Explain specific projects where you used these materials, the challenges you faced, and how you overcame them. For example, you might say:
"I have extensive experience working with clay bricks for residential projects, which require precision and attention to detail. In one project, I used engineering bricks to construct a retaining wall due to their high compressive strength and low water absorption. Additionally, I have worked with both lime and cement mortar, understanding the benefits of each. For instance, lime mortar is more flexible and breathable, making it ideal for restoration work, while cement mortar provides greater strength for new constructions."
This demonstrates not only your familiarity with the materials but also your ability to apply this knowledge in practical scenarios.
