A Mason is a person who accomplishes the task of masonry, which is the putting together of individual units of a variety of construction materials to give shape to the final structure of a building. Bricks, stones, granite, marble, limestone, tile etc are the common building materials that a mason or a group of masons work upon using their typical masonry tools. In fact, it is the masons who actually translate the paper plan of a construction project into concrete structure.
Masons are the most important among the workers employed by a building contractor for the execution of a construction project. Indeed, the traditional system of housing construction in India revolves around the roles of masons. In modern construction also, despite the increasing use of heavy machines and sophisticated tools during the construction process, the role of masons have not diminished altogether. Instead, we find an ever expanding space for masons in the construction of residential and commercials projects in India.
Bricks and mortars are the chief building blocks of a building structure and masons in India are the sculptors to put them together in the most appropriate manner. Besides the quality of building materials, the durability of a constructed building depends on the workmanship and skill of masons. Thus, we see the expanding market for Mason Contractors and Masonry Tools. The Mason Industry in India consist of Mason companies, shops, stores and the suppliers that deal in Mason Supply and related equipments.
