One Bricklayer ,One Accident and One Innovation Set to Change Construction

A life changing construction accident led North East entrepreneur Carl Harris to develop BrickBud, an engineered temporary works system that is redefining safety standards in bricklaying, After being seriously injured by a collapsing wall, Harris channelled his experience into creating a reusable solution that provides controlled restraint to newly built masonry during vulnerable stages. BrickBud replaces outdated timber bracing with a compliant, BS 5975‑aligned approach that improves site safety and reduces costly blowdowns. The innovation is gaining national attention for its role in supporting safer, greener construction practices across the UK. The full story behind BrickBud’s development is shared in the Talk.Build link provided
