jointing
Explanation:

'achter de hand opvoegen' (B) or 'doorstrijken' (NL) takes place shortly after the bricks have been laid in the mortar. Only certain joint profiles are possible with this method. This is jointing.

'navoegen' is the placement of joint mortar after the bedding mortar has hardened sufficiently so that the joint can be cleaned out to a specified depth. A variety of joint profiles are possible and tints can also be added. This gives a more uniform joint colour. This is pointing.

============================

Refs:

achter de hand opvoegen gebeurt tijdens het metselen of naarmate het parement opgaat, dit opvoegenwordt uitgevoerd door de metser voor de verharding van de metselmortel.

navoegen gebeurt nadat het metselwerk is uitgehard hier kan men gebruik maken van speciale mortels( kleur, textuur).

Het uitzichtvan het parement wordt in belangrijke mate bepaalt door de kleur en het voegtype.

4.1.1. Voorafgaande controle, reinigen, bijwerken
Bij voegwerk ‘achter de hand’ gebeurt het opvoegen in horizontale stroken van zodra het metselwerk voldoende ‘aangetrokken’ is.
De metser neemt alle nodige voorzorgen om een regelmatig en zuiver parement uit te voeren.
Bij navoegwerk staat de metser in voor het uitkrabben van alle voegen tot op een uniforme diepte. Bij de vrij algemeen toegepaste voegbreedte van 10 tot 12 mm is een uitkrabdiepte van 10 tot 15 mm voldoende voor goed voegwerk.

For the subtle difference between jointing and pointing . . .

The most popular joint profiles are: 'flush', 'bucket handle', 'weather struck', and 'recessed' or 'raked'. These can be formed as 'jointing', that is, completed as the brickwork is laid, or as 'pointing' – with the joints left recessed to receive the later addition of mortar in which the joint profile is formed. Some other profiles, for example ‘weather struck and cut’, are only practicable as pointing.

manual pointing


Explanation:
Apparently a Flemish expression. Not quite sure about this, but 'manual pointing' might be a possibility here. Try googling with: http://www.google.nl/search?as_q=&hl=nl&num=10&btnG=Google z... .

Thanks!

agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: Absolutely. Convincing and clear explanation. By the way, immediately/shortly after having layed the bricks, that is: achter (= shortly after) de hand (=having layed).
