When masonry is awarded, and who decides
Builtie times masonry from about 10% of the way through the build to about 30%, with the last realistic approach at about 40%. The builder or general contractor awards masonry early, around the structure, because brick and stone have long lead times and set the exterior schedule.
Tap a stage. The highlighted stage is where masonry is typically awarded.
What to lead with: material lead times, crew availability and weather planning for the exterior schedule.
Running the pipeline
Masonry work comes in waves that follow the permit record, so the pipeline that wins it starts from projects, not from a contact list. Track each project's stage, call the builder when it enters the window, and keep the material order date, the scaffold dates and the exterior schedule in the record. CRM for masonry contractors covers what to look for in a CRM built around that.
