What is block masonry?

A block mason uses prefabricated stone blocks to construct a building or a wall. This type of sturdy construction can withstand the strongest breeze and other extreme weather conditions. In this career, your job duties include using concrete blocks as part of the construction process, applying mortar to hold the blocks together, and ensuring the final construction meets the building requirements. The qualifications needed for a career as a block masonry include a high school diploma and time spent as an apprentice with an experienced mason. You also need strong construction skills, an eye for detail, and high physical endurance.
