CAPABILITY CARD · Skilled Trades

The Stonemasons capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 7,820 stonemasons in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten stonemasons 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.

Duty 01

Set vertical and horizontal alignment of structures, using plumb bob, gauge line, and level.

Duty 02

Lay out wall patterns or foundations, using straight edge, rule, or staked lines.

Duty 03

Set stone or marble in place, according to layout or pattern.

Duty 04

Remove wedges, fill joints between stones, finish joints between stones, using a trowel, and smooth the mortar to an attractive finish, using a tuck pointer.

Duty 05

Clean excess mortar or grout from surface of marble, stone, or monument, using sponge, brush, water, or acid.

Duty 06

Shape, trim, face and cut marble or stone preparatory to setting, using power saws, cutting equipment, and hand tools.

Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 7,820 stonemasons earn a median of $57,390 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

Tools that signal you're current

The systems you actually run — on the record.

Listing the software and platforms you work with is a quiet credibility signal buyers notice. These are the hot and in-demand technologies O*NET associates with stonemasons (★ = flagged hot technology). Your card shows the ones that fit your shop.

Your expertise, named

The knowledge that makes the work credible.

These are the expertise areas O*NET ranks highest for stonemasons. On a capability card they read as depth — not buzzwords.

Mathematics

Customer and Personal Service

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Most stonemasons 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.
