Why choose Avenir Renovations?
Masonry: an essential component of any renovation
Solid yet often invisible, masonry plays a fundamental role in the durability of your home. When neglected or damaged, it can lead to structural problems, moisture issues, or rapid degradation of your home.
Concerning cracks or subsidence
Cracks in the walls, floor subsidence, or facade movements can indicate a structural disorder requiring prompt intervention. These signs should never be ignored: they are symptoms of an imbalance or weakness in the structure. Only a professional diagnosis can determine the exact cause and appropriate solution.
Openings to create or adapt
Interior fit-out or home extension often involves creating openings, demolishing partitions, or reinforcing load-bearing walls. This type of transformation requires the intervention of a qualified mason, capable of properly integrating a lintel, an IPN, or a support system suitable for the building's load.
Structures to renovate or rebuild
A cracked retaining wall, a damaged chimney, or a terrace to redo involve precise masonry work, ensuring the longevity of the whole. The same applies to thresholds, window sills, or foundations exposed to moisture.
Our custom masonry services
At Avenir Rénovations, we handle all your masonry works, whether it involves structural work, finishing work, or technical finishes. We operate in both urban and rural areas, in individual houses as well as in condominiums.
Why call on Avenir Rénovations for your masonry work?
Masonry work cannot be improvised. It requires perfect mastery of the rules of the trade, rigorous planning, and coordination with other trades.
We conduct a complete structural diagnosis before intervening. This includes checking the load-bearing capacity, the condition of materials, the horizontality of the bases, as well as any potential moisture. We anticipate the future needs of the site and propose solutions that are both robust, regulatory, and sustainable.
Our masons are trained in traditional techniques (brick, rubble, blue stone) as well as the most modern (insulating concrete block, lost formwork). They work with equipment suited to each site, in compliance with safety standards and contractual deadlines.
We guarantee compliance with Belgian standards (RGIE, PEB, Eurocodes, etc.), in collaboration with the project’s engineering offices or architects if necessary.
Bricklaying work often occurs upstream. We plan interventions to integrate them without conflict with electricity, plumbing, insulation, or heating. A project manager from Avenir Rénovations supervises the smooth progress of each step.
What is the price of masonry works in Belgium?
| Type of masonry service | Average price including tax |
| Construction of load-bearing wall (block or brick) | 100 to 180 € / m² |

The cost depends on the complexity of the site, the materials used, the initial condition of the structures, and the accessibility of the land or building.
FAQ – Masonry work: your frequently asked questions
Can I demolish a load-bearing wall to enlarge a room?
Yes, but it requires strict precautions. The load-bearing capacity must be checked by a stability engineer, and then an IPN or a support beam must be sized. Avenir Rénovations takes care of:
- The feasibility study
- The supply and installation of the reinforcement
- The coordination of finishes (plastering, painting, electricity)
All in compliance with standards and safety.
What are the signs of a wall that needs repair or reinforcement?
Here are some indicators to watch for:
- Vertical or stepped cracks
- Persistent moisture stains
- Deformation or subsidence of the wall
A technical visit can determine whether the crack is superficial or structural and adopt the right solution: resin injection, stapling, chaining, or underpinning.
Can I hire a mason to create a staircase or a garden wall?
Yes. This type of work falls within the mason's skills. We carry out:
- Outdoor concrete stairs, raw or dressed
- Boundary or decorative walls
- Planters integrated into the terrace
- Edging or paths in natural stone or concrete
With finishes suited to your environment and the style of your home.
Are masonry works eligible for reduced VAT or grants?
As part of a renovation of a home over 10 years old, VAT can be reduced to 6%, under certain conditions. If the work is related to an energy renovation (e.g., reinforcing a wall before installing insulation), regional aids may apply. We advise you on the possibilities based on your situation.
