Payment & Reimbursement

The client often needs to provide a deposit for orders with a large quantity or with the requirement of pricy raw materials. They get paid after they've successfully finished and shipped the order. The payment type depends on their region and ranges from money to goods in barter.

Operations

Tools

The basic tools are a hammer and a chisel.

Materials

Masons need multiple types of stones of different colors and strengths depending on the current order and the specialization. The sizes differ depending on the application's purpose. For construction purposes, tombstones, and the manual stone mill, larger boulders are needed, while for garden edging and household items, smaller boulders or fieldstones are used.

Workplace

A mason's workshop is divided into two sections: storage and crafting area. The storage area contains stone storage in the form of crates for small fieldstones and pallets for larger boulders. Additionally, it has a section where ongoing and finished projects are stored until they are either collected or shipped to the customer. The crafting area contains tool storage for easy access and a workbench.
