How to Get More Masonry Jobs: Seven Moves and Where the Work Is
To get more masonry jobs, work with builders that build again and reach them while the masonry package is still open: from about 10% of the way through the build to about 30%, with the last realistic approach at about 40%. On October 9, 2026, 35,359 masonry projects were in that window across 25 markets. Builtie does that work for a trade: it finds these projects on permits, names the company behind each one and runs the LinkedIn and email outreach, saving about 2 hours a day, around 60 hours a month of prospecting.
The same four steps, whether the buyer is a builder, a designer, an owner or a company you want to acquire.
The job math
Across the markets Builtie covers, 42% of open masonry projects are new buildings and 58% are renovations or alterations, and a job counts only if it is worth at least $10,000 of masonry work. New buildings come from builders who build again; renovations come from owners and renovators, one at a time.
Seven ways to get more masonry jobs
- Go after builders, not single jobs: one builder means a stream of permits.
- Call inside the window: from about 10% of the way through the build to about 30%, with the last realistic approach at about 40%.
- Lead with material lead times, crew availability and weather planning for the exterior schedule.
- Keep a short list of builders active in your area and watch their new permits.
- Follow up when the build moves, not on a timer.
- Ask every builder you finish for for their next project before you leave site.
- Automate the finding and the first messages, and spend the time saved on quotes and site visits.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get more masonry jobs?
Reach the builders with projects in the masonry award window, lead with material lead times, crew availability and weather planning for the exterior schedule, and follow up as each build moves. Builders that build again give you a stream of jobs from one relationship.
How do I get masonry jobs from builders and general contractors?
The builder or general contractor awards masonry early, around the structure, because brick and stone have long lead times and set the exterior schedule.
Can I automate finding masonry jobs?
Yes. Builtie finds the projects from permits, stages them, attaches the decision maker and sends LinkedIn and email outreach; it saves about 2 hours of prospecting a day.
What does Builtie cost?
