BS 8000-3 This part of BS 8000 gives recommendations for workmanship in the construction of brick, block and stone masonry.This part of BS 8000 has been drafted in accordance with the recommendations in BS 8000-0.NOTE 1 The general principles of workmanship on construction sites are given in BS 8000-0 This part of BS 8000 does not specifically address health and safety issues; however, it does, where appropriate, highlight the importance of health and safety procedures and draw attention to the relevant legislation/ advice.At the time of publication this part of BS 8000 does not cover maintenance and restoration.The intended users of this British Standard are designers, specifiers, contractors, quality controllers, inspectors and operatives.NOTE2 This British Standard contains information of relevance to educators.NOTE 3 For design aspects of masonry, the user is referred to BS EN 1996-1-1:2005+A1, BS EN 1996-1-2,BS EN 1996-2:2006, PD 6697:2019 and BS 8103-2.NOTE 4 Attention is drawn to any additional technical information that relates to proprietary systems, such as that supplied by the manufacturer.It is common practice in construction design to relate dimensions to grid lines. However, while this
might be clear on a paper drawing or a 3D rendering, as construction sites become progressively more congested and sight lines become obscured, this practice becomes less practical to translate into setting-out processes. Establishing reasonably accssible horizontal and vertical lines and datum points is
generally the responsibility of the principal construction contractor, with subsequent setting-out the responsibility of the specialist or trade contractor.
Responsibility for establishing useful line and level setting out points/ planes for both current and following operations should be clearly defined.
Correct setting out procedures should be applied along with systematic recording, reporting and monitoring of the accuracy achieved during construction. Measuring and other setting out equipment commensurate with the degree of accuracy required should be used.BS 8000-3 pdf download.
