What is the first action you should take to repair a large hole in a load-bearing masonry wall?

If the hole is large, the wall will need propping to take some of the load from the portion of wall above the hole. This propping needs to be done with materials that can take the load. There are specialist props used in construction.
Get a professional to look at it. A masonry wall, or the part of the building that it is supporting can be lethal if it fails.

This is the roughest and cheapest type of masonry and is of varying appearance. The stones used in this masonry are of different sizes and shapes. before lying, all projecting corners of stones are slightly knocked off. Vertical joints are not plumbed, joints are filled and flushed. Large stones are used at corners and at jambs to increase their strength. Once "through stone" is used for every square meter of the face area for joining faces and backing.Suitability: Used for construction of walls of low height in case of ordinary buildings.Coursed random rubble masonry: The random rubble masonry in which stones are laid in layers of equal height is called random rubble masonry. In this masonry, the stones are laid in somewhat level courses. Headers of one coursed height are placed at certain intervals. The stones are hammer dressed. Suitability: Used for construction of residential buildings, go downs, boundary walls etc.Squared rubble masonry: The rubble masonry in which the face stones are squared on all joints and beds by hammer dressing or chisel dressing before their actual laying, is called squared rubble masonry.

This is a superior variety of rubble masonry. It consists of stones, which are squared on all joints and laid in courses.

Suitability: Used for construction of public buildings, hospitals, schools, markets, modern residential buildings etc and in hilly areas where good quality of stone is easily available.Un coursed square rubble masonry: The squared rubble in masonry which hammer dressed stones are laid without making courses is called un coursed square rubble masonry. It consists of stones which are squared on all joints and beds by hammer dressing. All the stones to be laid are of different sizes. Suitability: Used for construction of ordinary buildings in hilly areas where a good variety of stones are cheaply available.Dry rubble masonry: The rubble masonry in which stones are laid without using any mortar is called dry rubble masonry or sometimes shortly as "dry stones". It is an ordinary masonry and is recommended for constructing walls of height not more than 6m. In case the height is more, three adjacent courses are laid in squared rubble masonry mortar at 3m intervals.
