The present invention relates to a device for connecting and separating masonry units, preferably bricks, which comprises a tubular body that fits the tubular shape of holes in the bricks. The device for connecting and separating comprises a portion that has a straight cross-section larger than the cross-section of the tubular body and disposed approximately midway along the length of the connector device, for separating the bricks that said device connects. The device also comprises at least one depression or channel along the entire length of the tubular body, the depression or channel acting as a spring. The connector allows walls to be assembled using only bricks and connectors so as to apply mortar ex post.

A flooring board spacing assembly including an elongate platform member locatable on a flooring joist, the platform member having a plurality of first spacers evenly spaced at regular intervals along the length of the platform member, wherein, in use each of the first spacers separates adjacent flooring boards located on the platform member and forms a predetermined space between the adjacent flooring boards.

A deck construction device for assisting with laying decking. The device as a body which has a handle and a substantially planar face from which at least two spacers extend. At least one screw hole is defined through the body, the at least two spacers are arranged to span a width of a decking plank. The length of a first spacer corresponds to the thickness of a decking plank; and the length of a second spacer extends beyond the thickness of the decking.

In accordance with one aspect, a wall construction system includes a plurality of blocks configured to interfit in multiple courses with aligned interior voids being defined by the blocks. At least one shim is disposed between two of the plurality of blocks, wherein each shim includes a main body having a curved surface including a portion having a non-constant radius of curvature. In addition, a cementitious material is disposed in the aligned interior voids.

The Rebar Stabilizers have a flat horizontal upper portion with a hole surrounded by a cylindrical extension adapted to receive a rebar dowel at one end and one or two flat vertical legs beneath the other end. They are placed over the top of the form planks used to define the outer periphery of an excavated space to be filled with concrete with a leg abutting the pour side of the plank and (if there is a second leg) a leg abutting the opposite side of the plank so that the upper portion with the hole for receiving a rebar dowel will extend out over the peripheral foundation at right angles to the form planks. In this position, the rebar hole is positioned to receive and hold in position a vertical rebar dowel in upright position.

A spacer for fixation to a construction element, for maintaining a relative distance to another construction element, and for restricting at the maintained distance a movement about a position that is relative to another construction element, the spacer having a structure that: a) provides resiliency and generates a force for enhancing a distance relative to another nearby construction element when distance to that other construction element is reduced to a predetermined distance, and b) provides restriction of a movement of the structure in at least one direction that is different from the direction of predetermined distance.

A combination tile spacer and wedge uses a truncated pentagon shaped body that has a first side edge and a corresponding second side edge that is thicker than the first side edge. A rectangular solid shaped riser rises from a ridge located on an upper surface of the body. The thickness of the riser is greater than that of the second side edge. A rectangular extension extends rearwardly from the riser and has a thickness that is greater than that of the second side edge and less than that of the riser. The nose or front portion of the body tapers downwardly from upper to lower surface to a front edge that is parallel with the back edge. The thickness of the front edge is less than that of the first side edge. Inwardly directed diagonal edges connect the first and second side edges with the front edge.

A construction packer comprising a base part including a base shim and a wall component extending substantially perpendicular to the base shim, the wall component having a first interlocking feature; and a stacking shim configured to be placed on top of the base shim and having a second interlocking feature provided at an edge thereof that engages with the first interlocking feature to provide an assembled construction packer.

In accordance with one aspect, a wall construction system includes a plurality of blocks configured to interfit in multiple courses with aligned interior voids being defined by the blocks. At least one shim is disposed between two of the plurality of blocks, wherein each shim includes a main body having a curved surface including a portion having a non-constant radius of curvature.
