Bonding out brickwork - meaning?

[AppBricky]

When a bricky says he is bonding out brickwork before starting to build, does he mean dry bonding them out to see if it works out brickwork?

 

For example, on a site that has concrete formwork I heard a bricky say he was going to bond out brickwork around the concrete. What did he mean?

 

Many thanks for your help 🤗

You need to measure it out so you don't end up with a half brick in the wall when you get to the end of the run. When you lay them out dry then you will get to a point where a full brick won't fit so depending on how much you need to get one to fit you either open the perps up or tighten them in to suit your needs. Also helps with setting out where doors and windows go so you know the perps are all plumb and not moving to one side to fit a window in as it's really noticeable when you know what your looking at.

Thanks for your help.

 

For clarity - should it be dry bonded out? 
 

or is it measured out with a tape?

Quicker with a tape but for all the time it takes to dry bond it you get a better look at dry bonded.
