I was just watching the construction of my new home and they drilled into the brick walls all the time. [0]

None of the walls were empty, all were solid brick with no empty space.

It was quite a mess, though the guys doing the job were very professional and handled the dust disposal very well.

wow ! In which country are you ?

I've never seen something like this in France.

The Czech Republic. I have seen this in all homes under construction that I saw, except for wooden ones.

Granted, it is a small set, N < 10.

I didnt noticed that it was a picture of your inner walls. In France, we only use bricks/concrete for the structural walls. The inner walls are almost always "placo" mounted on steel rails.

It looks like 'placo' is what USians call drywall or sheetrock. (pressed gypsum with a paper backing). We'd call those rails studs; low density residential construction is usually wood studs, but I've got a project going with metal studs because with current pricing trends it makes more sense; metal studs also require armoring electrical though, and there's some other issues depending on use case.

Interesting. This is how ceilings are done here, but I haven't seen a private home with walls like that. Offices, yes.

This might be one of the reasons why Czech construction costs are so high. Expensive material everywhere.
