Materials
Materials like stone, brick, and cement are most commonly used as the individual units for constructing masonry structures
Binding Agent
A mixture of cement, sand, and water, called mortar, is used to hold together the individual building units
Structure Course
In masonry, structures are built by laying the individual units (bricks, stones, or cement) into specific patterns, also known as courses, with strategic overlapping joints to create a stable and unified structure.

Read more about the most common advantages and disadvantages of stone masonry home construction.
The materials are highly durable and weather-resistant when properly constructed
Masonry materials such as stone, brick, and concrete are non-combustible, providing excellent fire protection
Thick masonry walls provide strong thermal mass and reduce heat loss. They also offer excellent acoustic insulation.
Masonry surfaces are long-lasting and require little upkeep.
Masonry construction is slower compared to other methods, and the need for skilled labor and precise construction masonry tools adds to the time and expense, leading to an initially high cost of masonry wall construction.
Materials like stone and brick are heavy, increasing transportation and foundation costs.
Poorly designed or unreinforced masonry is susceptible to damage during earthquakes.
Alterations or remodeling of masonry structures can be difficult and expensive.
