What are the benefits of masonry construction?

Cavity blockwork construction is considered a traditional build technique; however, we tend to use extra-wide cavities to provide super insulation, bringing this method into the 21st century. Masonry construction is very robust and there are many contractors and masons locally with the skills to build with blockwork, which needs to be laid in dry but not cold conditions. Keeping the cavities clean is also a challenge during construction. Masonry buildings are relatively easy to make airtight and are considered to have high thermal mass, acting as night storage heaters to store and displace heat over a longer period to provide a steady internal temperature.
