ᐅ Facing brickwork for anchor installation on windows in brick veneer construction

Good morning,

Our window installer (Lower Saxony) told me that ideally, we should have the structural builder (North Rhine-Westphalia) install the window frames before masonry, so that direct fastening with anchors is possible. This would save us from needing brackets.

However, I can hardly find any information on this, and our structural builder looked at me surprised and said it is unusual but not a problem.

We will be building with facing bricks, and I am looking for information on this. Standard energy saving regulation house.

Is there anyone here who has carried out their build this way? Advantages/disadvantages?

Thanks for your help :-)

With this "front masonry," it is probably more likely referring to a "stop end," which can easily be created during brick cladding by making the window openings narrower at the brick level.
