What is Masonry?

Masonry is the art and science of building with bricks, stone or concrete. It is one of the oldest and most important fields in the construction industry. Masons regularly use physics, math and science to build beautiful, strong buildings and structures.

Is a career in masonry right for you?

- Are you good at problem solving?- Do you like math, science and art?- Do you have a mechanical mind that is good at figuring out how things work?- Do you notice small details on buildings?- Do you like solving challenging problems using hands-on strategies?- Are you interested in having skills that can travel with you anywhere?- Do you think that construction should be both a trade and an art?
