Why Join the NMA?

The Nebraska Masonry Alliance is making masonry better in our state.  We do this by representing every facet of the masonry industry, and we want to represent you.

What is Masonry?

Masonry refers to the construction of individual units, such as blocks, slabs or bricks that are bound together by mortar.  The materials most often associated with masonry construction are brick, building stone such as marble, granite, travertine, and limestone, cast stone, concrete block, glass block, and cob (i.e. adobe).

Why Masonry?

The Right Choice for Designers

Masonry gives designers the freedom to create structures that are not only visually striking, but also durable, safe, and built to last. Through collaboration with the architectural community, the Nebraska Masonry Alliance champions innovative masonry design while supporting the education and skill development of today’s masons. NMA is also committed to advancing safety training—strengthening the workforce and elevating standards across the entire industry—so designers can specify masonry with confidence.

The Right Educational and Career Choice

Masonry is one of the world’s oldest and most respected building trades—combining time-honored craftsmanship with modern engineering and innovation. It offers meaningful, hands-on careers for highly skilled artisans, designers, and problem-solvers who want to build structures that last for generations.

The Nebraska Masonry Alliance works closely with high school and college-age students, educators, and advisors to showcase the wide range of educational pathways and rewarding career opportunities available in the masonry industry—careers that offer stability, growth, and the pride of building something lasting.
