As a skilled mason, the contributions you make will last for generations. Masons work with brick, concrete block, stone, glass block, architectural precast and more. Work can be simple as building a wall or as complex as installing an ornate exterior, constructing a school or hospital. As with many construction trades, masonry work is done outdoors.

The work is very physical, involving the use of hand tools, power tools and material-moving equipment. Every brick and block must be laid by hand and requires the skill of a craftsman - a true artist. A skilled mason knows the different patterns, textures and colors that create an attractive finished product. Masons must also be able to read blueprints, understand building codes and be knowledgeable of industry safety guidelines and rules for handling hazardous materials.

Each job presents new challenges that masons are called upon to address and solve.
