What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten tile and stone setters 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
Align and straighten tile using levels, squares, and straightedges.
Duty 02
Finish and dress the joints and wipe excess grout from between tiles, using damp sponge.
Duty 03
Cut and shape tile to fit around obstacles and into odd spaces and corners, using hand and power cutting tools.
Duty 04
Determine and implement the best layout to achieve a desired pattern.
Duty 05
Mix, apply, and spread plaster, concrete, mortar, cement, mastic, glue or other adhesives to form a bed for the tiles, using brush, trowel and screed.
Duty 06

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Most tile and stone setters 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.
