masons
They lay bricks
Masons are workers who build with stone, brick, or concrete.
The craft requires skill in cutting, shaping, and laying materials: The masons restored the cathedral's crumbling façade.
Capitalized, Masons are members of Freemasonry, a fraternal organization with elaborate rituals and symbols drawn from the stonemason's trade.
