Today, stonemasons generally work in the commercial sector, in workshops or on construction sites. Their work mainly consists of cutting natural stone (granite, limestone, sandstone and marble) to shape it by hand, using electric hand tools such as angle grinders, but also modern cutting and cutting machines. stone milling. In addition, computer-aided design (with AUTOCAD and FUSION 360 software) is gradually becoming established as a planning tool.

Stonemasons specialize in restoration projects, including monument rehabilitation, artistic sculpture, headstones or decorative masonry and arched porches, as well as repairing damaged masonry work on site, for clients private individuals and associations for the protection of national heritage.

For stonemasons specializing in restoration, there is a direct link between the nature and quality of the stone, the architectural style of the national heritage and the know-how passed down from one generation to another, including traditional finishes from the surface of the stone. Not only must stonemasons demonstrate extensive knowledge of geology, materials, history, construction methods, modern technologies, and physical and chemical construction processes, but they must also demonstrate the highest professionalism .
