> I'm not sure if you've layed bricks before, so you might not be aware of how difficult it is to apply the cement. Yep, I have layed some bricks, I know how difficult it is, I've also delivered bricks from stack to bricklayer and I much prefer laying them in destination place. Once you place about two-three rows in a house, it's rather easy (yeah, sometimes you need to reapply cement, but it's not that hard or at least wasn't for me). > I can't see how this significantly improves the situation because I don't think it will put the bricks where you want them For a machine, laying right amount of cement is easy especially if it was done by that machine from start. Also there are building systems like ytong (didn't use it yet), where you just place a little glue and just place your bricks. That would be even easier for a machine and I believe this is the system used here. If machine has enough rigitiy, it can lay bricks in exact place so all irregularities in previous layer are removed in next layer. If you have properly leveled surface where you start there is almost no reason to have perfectly placed every brick. P.S. that building still stands after 10 years and walls don't crack so apparently I didn't bodge it and it was my first time (under supervision of course).
