As stone is plentiful early on in almost any fort, and the [[table|tables]], [[chair|chairs]], and [[door|doors]] a mason can build are immediately desirable, bringing a mason along is a sensible choice for most [[starting build|starting builds]].

Because blocks have no [[quality]], making blocks is a good way to train new masons. A single [[boulder]] will produce 4 [[block]]s; blocks are lighter/easier to carry than boulders; blocks have a higher [[value]] than boulders, increasing the architectural [[wealth|created wealth]] of the resulting constructions; and block walls are more difficult to climb than rough stone walls.  Blocks can't be used to make furniture, crafts or other stone objects the way boulders can, though.

Building constructions has been relegated to its own labor in DF2014 and no longer requires labors related to the building materials, which makes it much easier to keep experienced masons occupied in the workshops while less-specialised labourers erect constructions.
