Careers in stonemasonry can be very rewarding, offering the chance to work alongside other specialists such as bricklayers, often on unusual projects or historical buildings.

Careers in bricklaying are for practical people who can work quickly and repetitively, often high above the ground. It can be very creative work, as stonemasons and bricklayers are often called upon to produce interesting and decorative effects.

Bricklayers - or Brickies as they're generally known - work with many different materials, and use a variety of specialist tools to spread and joint mortar and cut bricks or blocks to size.
