Masonry in Craiova

About this service

Masonry work forms the skeleton of any construction and requires precision, experience, and knowledge of materials. Services include building walls from AAC blocks, brick, hollow blocks, or cellular concrete, constructing interior partition walls, fences and enclosures, foundations and plinths, reinforced concrete columns and ring beams, repairing and consolidating existing masonry, demolishing non-structural walls, building chimneys and flues, and, on request, constructing steps and curbs from stone or concrete. An experienced mason knows how to read plans, maintain level and plumb, treat joints properly, and work alongside ironworkers and concrete crews. The choice of masonry material (AAC, brick, hollow block) depends on the wall's purpose, insulation requirements, and budget. SmallJobs connects you with verified, experienced masons for any construction or renovation project.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an AAC block wall cost in Craiova?

Labor for AAC block masonry is typically 60–160 RON/sqm, depending on block thickness and job complexity. Add material cost (AAC blocks, mortar, adhesive), which can be an additional 30–60 RON/sqm.

AAC or brick — which to choose for interior walls?

AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete) is lighter, has better thermal insulation, and is faster to work with. Brick is denser, has better acoustic insulation and greater strength. For interior partition walls, AAC is the modern standard choice. For load-bearing exterior walls, brick or thick AAC are the main options.

Is a permit required to build an interior wall?

Non-structural partition walls don't require a permit. If you modify the building's load-bearing structure (demolish or add structural walls), a structural design and building permit are required. Consult a structural engineer.

How long does fence construction take?

A standard brick or AAC fence (20-30 linear meters) takes 3-7 working days, depending on height, foundation, and finishes. Adding reinforced concrete posts or a sheet metal cover increases the timeframe.

What type of mortar is used in masonry?

Brick masonry uses lime-cement mortar (variable mix ratio). For AAC, a special AAC adhesive is recommended (2-3mm joints) which ensures optimal bonding and reduces thermal bridges compared to traditional mortar.

Can a mason also demolish an existing wall?

Yes, masons also perform non-structural wall demolitions. Before any demolition, it must be verified whether the wall is load-bearing (structural). A structural engineer can do the assessment. Demolishing a structural wall without prior reinforcement poses a major structural risk.
