Default Brick wall and piers

I have a brick wall about to be rebuilt. It's about 5 - 6ft high and is a

It's about 8ft long and is a free standing construction without piers. The
builder has been instructed by the landlord to reinstate the wall as it was
without any piers.

I presume this doesn't follow good working practise. However are they any
guidelines published of what is and isn't good working practise?


With decent bricks and cement, and with no side loads, it should be fine.

Especially if he shoves in plenty of 'bow' ties.

Its different if its e.g. a retaining wall.
