CAD Detailing for Sawtooth Brick Panels
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I need a CAD construction detail of sawtooth brick panels for a bricklayer.
Requirements:
- Basic outline and dimensions
- Views: Section and elevation with dimensions
- Must highlight:
- Height and width of each panel
- Spacing between bricks
- Angle of each sawtooth
- Must add a false window in recessed brick next to real one.
- Extent of patterned area to follow elevation drawing or please justify any new pattern design.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficiency in CAD software
- Experience with brickwork and masonry details
- Attention to detail and accuracy
Specification Note — Vertical Sawtooth Brickwork Strip
Location: North-facing gable end wall (approx. 8,000 mm high).
Extent: One vertical strip, centred, approx. 1,200 mm wide, full height of wall.
Materials
Bricks: Standard clay facing bricks to match main elevation, dimensions 215 × 102.5 × 65 mm.
Mortar: 10 mm joints, colour to match main wall, flush struck (no raked or recessed joints).
Construction
Brickwork bond: Stretcher bond coursing, 75 mm course height including mortar.
Recess formation:
Sawtooth strip formed from half-brick modules
Alternate vertical bays offset/recessed by max 75 mm (half-brick).
Recesses created using half-bricks, rotated/offset as required.
Coursing alignment: Recess coursing to align continuously with surrounding wall coursing.
Joints: All joints to be flush; no projections, drips or ledges that could form footholds.
Performance
Anti-climb requirement: Surface to present no regular horizontal footholds and avoid ledges >15 mm depth. We have realised that our current elevation presents a climbing challenge for kids and is dangerous. We need a vertical pattern with no regular horizontal footholds.
Aesthetic: Sawtooth strip to provide fine-grain light/shadow texture while blending with main elevation brickwork.
I AM NOT A TIMEWASTER. THIS IS A LIVE PROJECT AND YOUR DRAWING WILL BE BUILT AND PHOTOGRAPHED FOR YOUR PORTFOLIO. I attach some rubbish attempts by ChatGPT and images of possible sawtooth patterns.
