We should place the concrete block dry.
Common brick masonry
The performance of common brickwork at the zero levels of the building site or up to the first level (including the manufacture of the bedding mortar) is equal to 12 man-hours per m3 for the masonry of 15 - 30 cm thickness.Comments
Soak the brick in water before laying it.
Make the joints of reduced height, so that the contraction of the mortar when it hardens does not have a significant settlement.
When the bricks have been manufactured with precision, we can use them with joints of, for example, 0.5 cm in height.
For exposed brickwork, an additional 3 man-hours per m3 should be added to the indicated yield.
Comments
One can perfectly imitate a wall brick ... How? Mix the cement with brick dust and water and then apply it as plaster, then cut the joints and paint them with cement ... One makes a proper imitation of a brick wall.
This serves to correct irregularities in brick walls or to apply to any surface.

Man-hours to add to the masonry work in tall buildings.
Here, we add the times for vertical movement equal to 2 man-hours per m3.
When working with scaffolding we have to add the times for assembly and disassembly of the same, that is 1 man-hour per m3 of scaffolding.
Ceramic Brick Masonry
The performance to execute masonry of ceramic bricks placed at ground level is 1,50 hours per m2 (including the mortar of seat).Concrete Masonry Blocks
Man-hours required to execute concrete block masonry, placed at ground level.
Performance equal to 1.20 hours per m2 (valid for 10 × 20 × 40 blocks, including mortar)
If the size of the block is 20 × 20 x 40, 0.50 more man-hours per m2 should be added.

Stonemasonry
Stonemasonry is the creation of walls or structures in general, using stone as the primary material.The number of man-hours required to build stone masonry placed at ground level is 22 man-hours per m3 of raw stone.

We must take care with unequal shaped masonry joints, as uneven stresses can cause the wall to collapse.
It is advisable to execute a horizontal surface with mortar on the wall every meter to stabilize the stresses.
