Brick provides excellent curb appeal, long-term durability, low maintenance, and added resistance to weather, impact, and fire. The result is a classic exterior finish that enhances the home’s appearance while providing dependable protection for years to come.

This townhouse exterior uses a brick-veneer system supported on a reinforced concrete brick ledge. After the weather barrier and flashing are installed, masons set the first course level, build the brick upward with mortar, and tie it back to the structure. Behind the brick, a drainage space and weep holes help manage moisture for a durable, finished exterior.

Before the exterior finish goes on, vertical furring strips—also called rainscreen strapping—are installed over the weather-resistive barrier. These strips create a small ventilated cavity behind the exterior wall, giving any moisture that gets past the finish a path to drain and allowing the assembly to dry. They also provide a straight, secure fastening surface for a range of finishes, including vinyl or composite siding, wood siding, fibre-cement panels or lap siding, engineered wood, metal cladding, and certain panel-style cladding systems. The result is a cleaner installation with better airflow, moisture management, and long-term protection for the home.

This is fire-rated drywall installed as part of the separation wall between townhouse units. It’s designed to help slow the spread of fire, protect adjacent living spaces, and provide an important layer of safety in attached residential construction.

On a new home build, the vents and pipes you see coming through the roof are all part of the home’s mechanical, plumbing, and ventilation systems. Plumbing stacks help regulate air pressure in the drain system and vent gases safely outside, while exhaust terminations remove humid air from bathrooms, kitchens, and other interior spaces. Roof vents also play an important role in attic airflow, allowing heat and moisture to escape so the home stays healthier, more efficient, and better protected over time.

Those small holes in the bottom row of brick are called weep holes, and they play an important role in protecting the home from moisture. Since brick veneer can absorb rainwater, the wall is designed with a drainage cavity behind it, and the weep holes let any trapped water escape at the base instead of sitting inside the wall. They work together with flashing to keep the wall system dry, reduce the risk of mold or freeze-thaw damage, and help the brick exterior perform the way it’s supposed to.

The silver insulated vent pipes shown here are part of the home’s ventilation and plumbing system. Their job is to safely move air and moisture out of the building, while the insulation helps prevent condensation and the exterior terminations protect the openings from rain and debris.

The home building process starts with underground services, where crews install the sanitary, storm, and water lines that will serve the house before the foundation work begins. Once the servicing is in place and the excavation is ready, concrete footings are formed and poured to create the structural base that will carry the foundation walls and the weight of the home above. After the footings have set and the foundation is in place, the area is backfilled with clear stone to support drainage around the foundation, reduce water buildup, and prepare the site for the next stages of construction.

This is where the strength of the home really begins. Floor joists create the structural base for the level above, and the rim joist locks the whole system together at the perimeter. It’s a key part of the framing process that helps ensure the floor is solid, stable and built to last.
