Experience vs. "Learning on the Job"—Why 20+ Years of Masonry Expertise Matters

January 10, 2026 By Serghei 5 min read

In an industry where many firms rely on revolving crews and sales-led project management, Sergyo Constructions stands apart by offering direct access to tradespeople with hands-on site experience dating back to 2001.

The "Station Mastery" Level of Detail

The true test of a mason’s skill is the complexity of their portfolio. Having handled high-level masonry projects—including work on the Victoria Station arches—our team brings a structural precision to residential bricklaying projects that is hard to find with general contractors.

Whether we are building a structural garden outhouse or repairing a heritage boundary wall, we apply the same high standard of workmanship. Each project is like a bespoke suit: tailored perfectly to the site's unique requirements.

"Choosing a builder is like selecting the foundation for a skyscraper; you don't want the cheapest material or the newest apprentice—you want the most seasoned stone that has already proven it can hold the weight of the entire structure."

Avoiding the "Trust Issues" of Modern Construction

"Learning on the job" often results in structural issues like cracks, poor material matching, or building over critical utilities. Professional masonry services require a deep understanding of:

  • Load-Bearing Dynamics: Calculating the weight distribution for extensions and removals.
  • Lintel Installation: Ensuring windows and doors are structurally supported.
  • Mortar Curing: Managing weather-dependent cycles to prevent future crumbling.

A Transparent, Direct Approach

When you hire us, you deal directly with the tradespeople doing the work. This eliminates the "game of chinese whispers" often found with larger agencies. Our 100+ verified ratings on MyBuilder testify to our reliability and "neat and solid" workmanship.
