What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten brickmasons and blockmasons wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Measure distance from reference points and mark guidelines to lay out work, using plumb bobs and levels.

Duty 03
Apply and smooth mortar or other mixture over work surface.
Duty 04
Calculate angles and courses and determine vertical and horizontal alignment of courses.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Most brickmasons and blockmasons win public work as subcontractors to construction and facilities primes, and through small-business set-aside programs. Primes vet subs fast — a living capability card with your licenses, bonding posture, and recent work is how you get the call instead of getting screened out. We build it to be that fast yes.
