Many masonry contractors gain their skills on the job, beginning as assistants and working their way up, or by completing an apprenticeship that usually lasts three to four years. Many masonry contractors start out by being construction laborers and are introduced to the masonry field at that time. Some masonry contractors have been trained to read blueprints and mechanical drawings. Masonry contractors often work in teams to properly complete jobs on schedule. Some masonry contractors belong to local unions where they can get the instruction and training to develop their masonry skills, such as proper techniques to be used in edging, leveling and troweling.
