History

BAC's Crafts

Bricklaying dates back to the beginning of civilzation and has been handed down from generation to generation. Some of the world greatest construction achievements have been constructed with masonry. Egyptian Pyraminds required thousands of workers to place stone. The Pantheon Dome in Rome is amazing, Cathedrals throughout the world are astonishing, the Washington Monument and just about every other Monument you can think of have been of Masonry. Most higher education universities across the land have chosen masonry for its strength, durability and distinguishing beauty. As trained Brick Masons we have continued to adapt throughout the years to keep up with modern design and technology, and to this day we still hold true to the original techniques of our craft. 

We train using many of the same tools and techniques Masons used 5000 years ago. Our program has been training Union Brick Masons, Marble Setters, Stone Masons, Pointers, Caulkers, Cleaners and Refractory Specialist in Southern Califorina for well over 100 years.

This trade reqiures a special breed for we are some of the hardest workers society has to offer.  The International Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers is the oldest continuously running Union in the Northern Continent. We have been here for ever and we continue to push forward. Each day we are rewarded by the Strength and Beauty we leave behind. The pride you feel to drive by a building and say to your family "I built that" is unmeasured. Only those seeking a rewarding and challenging life should apply.
