Does anyone know what the cost of labor for a stone mason should be per square foot?

If you are a real mason, you should be able to calculate it.

Add up the costs (wages, workmans comp, fringe, benefits, insurance, etc.) and divide by the average production (sf) for a average job.

depends on market price, not your costs. If your cost are above market price, ur in trouble.

They seem to be about 2-1/2 times that of a brick mason in my area for a "real stone" mason. Matter of fact, it's hard to find a mason in my area that will work with stone. They seem like a pretty well aged batch of men.

What about profit??????

Stone work is cheap around here. Plenty of rock pounders speaking spanish. You would laugh at what they get per SqFt, Stacker.
