Why this score

Repetitive stone-cutting, block-laying on straight runs, and mortar-joint finishing are the stonemasonry tasks most exposed to robotic and CNC automation right now. Layout measurement and material estimation are already being absorbed by BIM software and laser-guided systems that reduce the need for manual calculation on-site. Custom restoration carving and complex freeform fitting remain hard to automate, but they represent only a fraction of most stonemasons' weekly hours. If your work is primarily production walls and veneers, the window to differentiate yourself is closing faster than most in the trade realize.
