Summary
Specialized profession that accurately marks ink lines (reference lines) serving as standards when installing stone materials at construction sites.
Description
Stone layout workers mark precise centerlines and horizontal references on stone surfaces before installing stones used in buildings or structures, providing guidelines for construction. They read drawings and use tools such as spirit levels, laser levels, transits, and ink boxes to draw reference lines on site, determining the installation positions and heights of stones. High precision and on-site adjustment skills are required, and they collaborate with other craftsmen and construction managers to carry out the work.
Future Outlook
While stable demand is expected due to construction and renovation needs, the shortage of skilled workers is a challenge, requiring the development of young technicians.
