Which code does this activity belong in?
Masonry Contractors comprises establishments performing bricklaying, stone setting, and related masonry work including block laying, pointing, and caulking. The distinction from Poured Concrete Foundation and Structure Contractors lies in the material and method: masonry work uses individual units like brick and stone, whereas poured concrete contractors create monolithic concrete structures. Stucco application and marble or granite exterior installation also fall within this code.
