A construction system for establishing alignment of a plurality of masonry building units is provided. The system includes a base having a base plate, a vertical extension extending vertically from the base plate, the vertical extension having a first hole through the vertical extension, and a leveling mechanism that adjusts an orientation of the base plate relative to a surface on which the base is located; a first pole removably attached to the vertical extension, the first pole having a first end, a second end, and a first hole through the first pole proximate to the first end; and a first pin removably attaching the first pole to the vertical extension, the first pin being located in the first hole of the vertical extension and the first hole of the first pole.

A construction assembly includes two frame members. A segment of one frame member contacts a surface of a contour of a first column. A segment of the other frame member contacts a surface of a contour of a second column. The surface of the contour of the second column aligns with the surface of the contour of the first column. A connector beam has a planar surface substantially perpendicular to a base surface from which the first and second columns extend. A first end portion of the connector beam couples to one frame member, and a second end portion of the connector beam couples to the other frame member. When coupled to the frame members, the connector beam substantially aligns with, and extends laterally between, the frame members. The connector beam receives blocks such that the planar surface is at a direct abutment with a planar surface of each block.
