MASON Meaning and Definition

  1. A mason is a skilled craftsperson who specializes in working with materials such as stone, brick, or concrete to construct or repair buildings, walls, and other structures. The term "mason" originates from the Old French word "maçon," which means a builder or worker in stone.

    Masons are highly trained professionals who possess knowledge of different construction techniques, tools, and materials used in masonry work. They typically work alongside architects and engineers to bring their designs to life. Their primary duties involve laying and aligning bricks, stones, or concrete blocks in a specific pattern or structure, known as masonry. This requires precise measurements, cutting, and shaping of materials to fit the required design.

    Masons often utilize various tools, including trowels, hammers, chisels, and levels. They must also possess expertise in mixing and applying mortar, a combination of cement, sand, and water used to bind the bricks or stones together. The craftsmanship of a mason is essential for ensuring the structural integrity, durability, and aesthetic appeal of a building or wall.

    In addition to construction, masons are also responsible for repairing and restoring damaged or deteriorated masonry. They may remove and replace defective materials, rebuild sections of a structure, or perform routine maintenance to preserve the integrity of masonry work.

    Overall, masons play a crucial role in shaping our built environment by using their skills and knowledge to create and maintain sturdy and visually appealing structures using stone, brick, or concrete materials.
