Before you start cutting into the brick wall, set the cutting depth, and use a ruler or a stick to mark the depth. Decide on the depth you require based on the measurements of the windows or doors you want to install. Keep in mind that before you cut an opening into the brick wall, you need to install a lintel first above where you want the hole to be. A lintel is basically a horizontal support of timber, stone, concrete, or steel across the top of a door or window which will ensure that the wall remains properly supported and won't collapse under its own weight.

The most efficient tool you can use to cut an opening in a brick wall is an angle grinder. Prepare a dust mask, safety glasses, and earplugs so you're not affected by the dust and noise pollution. Once you start cutting into the wall, lots of brick dust will be kicked up so you will need to be prepared to protect yourself. Start cutting the vertical lines first, and move on from there.
