Will AI replace Brickmasons and Blockmasons?

Why this score

Repetitive brick-laying on straight runs and simple wall sections is where automation hits brickmasons first — robotic systems like the SAM100 (Semi-Automated Mason) already handle standard coursing on commercial projects. Your custom detail work, irregular cuts, restoration, and on-site problem-solving remain firmly out of reach for current machines. But as prefabricated masonry panels and robotic placement arms improve, the volume of hand-laid brick needed per project will shrink. The question isn't whether robots can replace you entirely — it's whether the number of hours a human mason works per building drops enough to reshape your income.
