SOC 47-2044
According to drawings and site conditions, set hard tile, stone and similar materials on walls, floors, countertops and similar locations, checking dimensions, layout, materials and joints, and completing installation and finishing. The US occupational scope also includes some roofing and decorative tasks; specific Chinese jobs and authority are checked separately.
Model impact index for three equally weighted representative core tasks; not a measured share of working time or a job-loss probability. floor((25+0+25)/3+0.5)=17; fermatmind-ai-impact-v1; 2026-10-18.
Start with dimension units, drawings and material checking: whether you can turn plane dimensions into a grid, distinguish colours and batches, and recompute and state the unknowns after a version change. You also need to understand the physical load, training and employment conditions; interest in a rendering alone is not enough.Tile and stone setting, stone masonry, resilient flooring and carpet installation involve different materials and outputs; laying floors does not mean the skills are interchangeable. First choose a target by hard tile material, drawing and construction location.
This is an initial career exploration screen; the paper exercise does not replace skill training, construction assessment, project acceptance or a health evaluation.
A willingness to check dimensions, layout, material batches and drawings cell by cell, and to patiently correct misalignment or missing items, is a signal worth exploring further. Beyond liking the finished look, you also have to accept fine handwork, physical load and on-site collaboration.More specific signals: a willingness to check the drawing row by row and column by column, to compare against material records, and to say which cell, version or batch the error occurred in. After a revision you keep the original record and separate what is known, assumed and to be confirmed, instead of claiming it is about right by eye.
According to drawings and site conditions, set hard tile, stone and similar materials on walls, floors, countertops and similar locations, checking dimensions, layout, materials and joints, and completing installation and finishing. The US occupational scope also includes some roofing and decorative tasks; specific Chinese jobs and authority are checked separately.
The following two are editorially organized internal lines of work: tile setting centres on the pattern and joints of hard tiles, while stone installation also requires checking conditions by the specific stone specification and location. A job may cover only part of this and does not imply that experience transfers directly.
Career direction comparison
First distinguish by output: hard facing material, stone structures, resilient flooring, support services or plaster surfaces. Even on the same fit-out site, the materials, responsibility and training differ.
| Career direction | Core work and output | Key difference | Which choice fits better |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard tile setting | Form tile surfaces to the dimensions, drawing and material requirements, and check the layout, joints and changes. | A task line within this occupation; substrate, material and tool training are checked by project. | Willing to check the drawing and dimensions cell by cell and to re-check in fine detail. |
| Stone laying and installation | Install and finish to the stone specification and location, checking materials, surfaces and related details. |
AI impact on the occupation
Insufficient evidence: adoption rates, construction effects, the net AI employment effect and task scores were not obtained. The BLS2025—2035 overall projection for this occupation shows 9.8% growth and about 3,300 annual openings including replacements, which is not AI causality; the following uses editorial scenarios only to explain the checking points for information assistance.

Chinese mainland salary reference
Chinese salary measure
An editorial verification scenario, not an offer
Insufficient evidence: the national wage distribution for Chinese mainland tile and stone setting jobs was not obtained. The task-related broad reference is the 2025 pre-tax annual average of 80,739 yuan for production and manufacturing and related personnel in above-scale enterprises, covering construction and other personnel; it is not a separate median, percentile, starting wage or personal income range for setters.
Insufficient evidence: the national wage distribution for this occupation in the Chinese mainland was not obtainedNeither the broad job nor the construction unit annual averages are a setter's personal compensation, and they are not converted into a uniform monthly salary or day rate.
US salary reference
For US SOC47-2044 in May 2025, the national annual median wage is 55,690 US dollars and the hourly median is 26.77 US dollars. The CareerOneStop table cites BLS OEWS2025 and the BLS precise occupational table agrees; these are not a starting wage, an after-tax amount or Chinese compensation.

Career fit guide
Look at interest in hard materials and drawings, dimension checking, fine handwork, feedback collaboration and physical load together. Tests only provide discussion clues, and the following turns clues into observable tasks.See whether you are willing to re-check in fine detail, hand over truthfully and keep training, judged together with the physical load and employment conditions. Aesthetic sense or a personality score cannot replace setting skills and real job requirements.
Worth experiencing further： Observe whether you are willing to check the grid row by row, and the units and colours, and to explain the differences after a change; do not judge ability from one attractive rendering.
First check the real conditions： Piece rates, rework, waiting and payment conditions need separate assessment. Interest cannot replace a sustainable budget, and unknown amounts are not filled in with an imagined high rate.
First try a small experience： Complete the E1 grid initial judgment, the E2 change and the E3 handover, and record the calculation errors and the reasons for changes. Paper and pen are enough; continuing to check jobs does not mean you have passed a construction assessment.
Work pressure, risk and occupational boundaries
Check exposure to silica dust and similar materials, kneeling and lifting, tool and on-site training, pay and rework, and project responsibility. The specific materials, locations and organisational conditions differ, so first clarify the task and the responsible person.
The following is based on O*NET task context, US OSHA background, a local guideline example and an editorial checklist; it is not an accident rate, a medical judgment or a personal risk score, and regions and applicable scopes are explained separately.
Typical scenario：The project requires cutting or grinding, but the material exposure information, controls and training arrangements are not stated.
Main jobs：People who take on stone or related material processing tasks
Possible consequences：Unclear exposure conditions affect safety judgments; a lack of visible dust by eye or one experience cannot establish that the risk is controlled.
Entry, certificates and career development
First use the paper grid to check dimensions, drawings, materials and changes and to organize the real training gaps. Continue learning about jobs with a clear material and location and enter actual tasks through the corresponding tool, safety and process training; the seven-day experience does not guarantee independent construction or promotion.
Career prospects and related occupational transitions
The latest US 47-2044 publication shows 9.8% growth in 2025—2035 with about 3,300 annual openings including replacements; this does not represent annual net growth or an individual hiring rate.Adjacent transitions require training by output: stone masonry, resilient flooring, helper work and plastering differ from hard facing material, and familiarity with the same site does not automatically confer the new trade's ability or qualification.

Precise occupational employment projection
The BLS merged page uses new-build and renovation demand as background, while the occupational projection uses the precise row. Regions, materials and project conditions differ, so no equivalent change in China or AI causal effect is inferred.
Cannot show：The US total projection guarantees no equivalent growth in every region and cannot isolate an independent AI effect.
Set hard tile and stone surfaces according to the drawing and site basis, checking dimensions, layout, materials and joints; the specific locations and authority are confirmed by the project.
Stonemasons build stone structures, resilient flooring and carpet work with different materials, and helpers carry out support work; sharing a site does not mean the training and responsibility are interchangeable.
Choose a real task from this page for a small practice project or a conversation with someone in the field. Use the planning guides to set a date, an output and feedback questions before deciding whether to continue.
First check the target job's kneeling, squatting and bending, lifting, dust, noise, tool training and pay conditions. One paper layout cannot prove you can build; cutting, tiling, demolition and work at height follow the corresponding training, on-site procedures and authorization.Signals for caution include finding unit and version checking a nuisance, mixing different batches without recording, or ignoring on-site training and protection to rush the work. Extroversion, aesthetic sense or one fast calculation cannot replace task fit and a judgment of the working conditions.
Use the fictitious grid in the entry module E1 to calculate the number of units and the requirement for two colours, use E2 to handle a drawing version change, and write the material and handover record in E3. Use only paper and pen or a form; do not cut, mix adhesive or touch a job site or real customer data.Compare the drawings and shortfalls in E1 and E2 and check whether E3 lets someone else recompute. A willingness to find errors and keep improving supports learning more about the job; completing a paper work sample does not prove you can set tiles, cut or judge a substrate as acceptable independently.
Set surfaces, layout joints and material records
Stone surfaces, installation records and items to be checked
US O*NET-SOC 47-2044.00 is Tile and Stone Setters: applying hard tile, stone and similar materials to walls, floors, ceilings, countertops and roofs. The Chinese name is a translated scope title and cannot be equated directly with a single Chinese trade or licence. Both work with hard tile, measurement and surface layout, but ceramic tile and natural stone differ in specification, material characteristics and installation location. The table below is an editorial summary; the specific substrate, fixing, bonding and acceptance bases must be confirmed by the project, and no on-site construction formula is provided.
| Dimension | Main directions | Comparison directions |
|---|---|---|
| Core purpose | Form hard tile surfaces and joints to the drawing. | Form stone surfaces to the stone specification, installation basis and location. |
| Objects and basis | Tile specifications, drawings, surface dimensions, substrate and detail requirements. | Materials such as marble or granite, specifications, installation location and project requirements. |
| Core process | Measure and position, check layout and materials, and set and finish within the training and authorization. | Check materials and surface conditions, and process, install and re-check within the training and authorization. |
| Main output | Tile setting surfaces, joints, material and change records. | Stone surfaces, installation and finishing records, and detail items to be checked. |
| Responsible parties | The setter performs and records; design, substrate confirmation and acceptance follow the project's division of labor. | The stone installer performs; structural and fixing design and acceptance are confirmed by the corresponding responsible persons. |
| How they work together | Check drawings with the client or supervisor and check the substrate and interfaces with other trades. | Check stone specifications with suppliers and check positions, details and handover with on-site staff. |
| Authority boundaries | Being able to lay out does not mean being able to judge waterproofing, the substrate or the whole project as acceptable. | Being able to install facing material does not mean holding structural design, work at height or lifting operation authority. |
check the setting position, dimension units, drawing version and material requirements, and confirm missing items with the person in charge.
compare the tile or stone specification, colour, batch and quantity, and distinguish the budget estimate from the approved quantity.
check the positioning with measuring tools according to the approved drawing and training, and clarify after recording any conflict found.
complete the work within the specific material, tool training and authority scope, and do not derive construction actions from the paper model.
check the layout, surface and joints, with quality judgments combined with the actual project requirements and division of responsibility.
state the materials, drawing version, completed locations and to-be-confirmed items, with repair or rework following on-site authorization.
Judgments rest on dimensions, drawings, materials and site evidence. The following are occupational understanding questions; the paper model ignores real construction conditions and cannot serve as a site material order or construction plan.
Material quantities and positions are judged from blueprints, measurements and layout requirements. The editorial paper exercise extracts only the grid and version checking; real construction also involves substrate, bonding and detail conditions, so the exercise model cannot be copied over.
Inputs include drawings, setting-out patterns, surface dimensions, material specifications and site conditions. First check the units, version and scope, then estimate materials; when substrate, joint width or detail requirements are missing, ask the person in charge for clarification instead of filling them in as a construction design yourself.
Measure and mark the surface and check layout and positioning with a level, square, straightedge and similar tools. When you find a dimension conflict or a material shortfall, state the location, units, drawing version and actual records; do not build first and hide the difference afterwards.
| Both fall within this occupation, but the specific materials and installation conditions are checked separately. |
| More interested in natural stone characteristics, dimensions and on-site interfaces. |
| Stonemasons | Stonemasons produce stone walls, piers and other masonry, while this occupation focuses on setting hard facing material; sharing the word stone does not mean the structural responsibility or training is the same. | The focus shifts to stone structures and masonry, requiring additional masonry, structural and trade training. | If you care about stone walls or structures, you can check the target job; a setting work sample cannot pass as masonry ability. |
|---|
| Resilient flooring installation | Resilient flooring installation works with sheet and tile flooring and the corresponding surfaces, and the occupational title explicitly excludes hard tile, carpet and wood flooring; experience cannot be swapped directly. | The focus shifts to flexible sheet or tile flooring and the corresponding processes, requiring additional material and joint training. | If you care more about resilient flooring, you can re-check the target material and working conditions. |
|---|
| Brickmason and tile setter helpers | Brickmason and tile setter helpers carry out material, tool and clean-up support work and are a separate combined helper occupation; helper experience does not automatically prove you can set tiles independently. | It carries support tasks with different responsibility and proficiency and cannot be seen as a renamed independent setter. | First learn the actual helper tasks, training and advancement conditions; no automatic upgrade is promised. |
|---|
| Plastering and stucco work | Plastering and stucco work forms continuous plaster or decorative stucco and differs from installing hard tile; sharing a fit-out project does not mean the same output. | The output shifts to plaster and stucco finishes, requiring additional continuous surface and material training. | If you care more about smooth plastering, you can verify your ability as a new trade. |
|---|
After completing E1—E3, choose a job with a clear material and location and check the training, employment terms and work intensity; when turning to an adjacent direction, re-verify the corresponding skills.
Next, check AI, wages, fit and training conditions. The adjacent links are for career exploration, and specific job requirements still need current confirmation.
Editorial ratings use the existing occupational responsibilities and AI task analysis on this page. They are not adoption rates, measured effects, job-disappearance or personal-unemployment probabilities, or official scores from Stanford or another external institution. No measured time weights or future robot deployment are assumed.
Editorial suggestion: a text tool can organize fictitious material lists, dimension units and drawing version issues, after which you check the original tables and calculations yourself. No study proving tool accuracy or net time savings for this occupation was obtained, so automated estimating cannot be claimed to be reliable.
Insufficient evidence: this round read the O*NET tasks, the BLS employment table and the NIST risk framework but obtained no national AI adoption rate or generalizable on-site effect study for tile and stone setters. A software list is not an AI usage ratio, and a trial demonstration is not occupation-wide adoption.
BLS projects 47-2044 to grow 9.8% in 2025—2035, with about 3,300 annual openings; this is a US total projection and cannot be broken down into jobs created or lost by AI, nor does it predict China or individual hiring.
| Work directions | Task | Current changes | Human control points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prepare | Organize a list of dimension, unit and material issues | An editorial trial use; the effect is not verified | Go back to the original table and check the dimensions, source and missing items. |
| Drawing | Check the colour distribution of the fictitious grid | An editorial paper experience | Calculate each row and column by hand and keep the drawing version. |
| Quantity | Generate a quantity draft | Cannot automatically become a purchase quantity | Check the assumptions, units, waste and unconfirmed site conditions. |
| Change | Compare the differences between two drawing versions | An editorial re-check scenario | Make clear the changed cells and quantities; the old version is not overwritten. |
| Materials | Organize fictitious material and batch records | Purpose and permissions must be limited | Do not upload unauthorised drawings, addresses or quotations. |
| On site | Measurement, setting and finishing | No complete generalizable substitution evidence | Follow material and tool training, on-site evidence and authority. |
| Career choice | Understand the precise occupational projection and job conditions | Net AI impact not quantified | Check the current tasks, training, work intensity and pay. |
When reading evidence, first check the object, region, period and purpose. The occupational profile explains what is done, the projection table explains group employment change, and the risk framework provides a management method; none of them proves that a tool is already reliably adopted in construction.
At the task level, organizing information in drawing and material checking differs from on-site measurement, substrate judgment and installation execution. A generated table cannot replace real dimensions, the approved drawing and material confirmation; physical operations and quality judgments still follow training and the project's division of labor.
What AI mainly changesCan generate lists or summaries, but the accuracy needs re-checking.
Still the responsibility of peopleYou check the units, source, drawing version and unconfirmed items.
What AI mainly changesA generated draft differs from the approved drawing and the actual quantity used.
Still the responsibility of peopleRecompute the quantity and check the site basis; do not use the draft directly for construction.
What AI mainly changesThis round found no complete on-site substitution evidence.
Still the responsibility of peoplePeople execute, collaborate and confirm quality within training and authorization.
First limit the purpose, inputs and outputs. Assist with organization only in fictional exercises and do not upload unauthorised customer drawings, addresses or quotations; use on a real project requires confirming material permissions and organisational procedures.
First make clear that it is only a list, a drawing draft or record organization.
Confirm the dimension units, drawing version, material permissions and missing items.
Real projects require checking the approval basis, organisational procedures and authority; the exercise uses only fictitious material.
Recompute cell by cell and compare with the original table, marking the errors and the conditions that cannot be confirmed.
Record the input, tool draft, manual changes and open items; re-check when conditions change.
A paper quantity draft may be mistaken for an actual purchase or construction basis.
Control method:Mark the model assumptions and unconfirmed items and confirm them through the real project process.
Drawings, addresses, quotations and material records may exceed the authorised scope.
Control method:Use only fictitious material for the experience; actual use requires checking the organisation's permission and data scope first.
An old drawing, mixing centimetres and metres, or omitting a colour will cause the quantity draft to be wrong.
Control method:Check the units and version item by item, keep the original values and recompute independently.
A tool may invent conclusions that the substrate, waterproofing or bonding is acceptable.
Control method:Without real evidence, keep it unknown and pass it to the appropriate responsible person for confirmation.
Total growth and openings cannot prove how many jobs a tool creates.
Control method:Separate tasks, adoption and employment, and do not write a substitution rate or personal probability.
First calculate E1—E3 by hand, then compare with the tool draft, keeping your own errors and revision process.
Check material permissions, drawings and output according to organisational procedures; real site issues cannot be approved by a generated summary.
Distinguish the budget draft, the purchase basis and site changes, and clearly mark the units, version, assumptions and conditions to be checked.
Define the purpose, human re-checking and the chain of responsibility, compare output errors and rework information, and do not use a demonstration in place of site evidence.
No corresponding causal study was obtained. Organizing lists can be an editorial trial use, but setting skills still require specific material, tool training and on-site feedback; generated word count cannot be treated as skill improvement.

People still have to confirm materials, dimensions, the construction basis and work authority, and execute and accept according to the project's division of labor. The voluntary NIST framework is only a risk method and confers no construction qualification or substitute for confirming responsibility.
Insufficient evidence: this occupation's matching recruitment wage and complete conditions such as training, piece rates and hours were not obtained; the amounts remain missing, so check the target announcement and contract.
Materials and scenario status
| Scenario | Conditions to check | Scope and unknowns |
|---|---|---|
| New entry-level job | Check the training-period pay, assessment and actual tasks; there is no offer. | New entry-level scenario | check the training content, training-period pay, assessment and actual tasks; this is an editorial checklist with no offer or hiring commitment. |
| Changing material or location | Check the tasks, training and measurement; a raise is not guaranteed. | Changing material or location | check tile, stone, wall and floor, tool training, measurement and rework conditions; previous experience does not guarantee competence on a new task or a raise. |
| Contracting or role change | Check the costs, payment and acceptance, and the separate job requirements. | Contracting or role change | check the contracting party, material and tool costs, payment and acceptance, and the separate job requirements; do not treat total takings or a management salary as a worker's wage. |
| National occupational wages | Construction industry background does not fill in occupational percentiles or starting wages. | Industry averages cannot form a national occupational sample; no uniform high or low pay threshold is set and US or engineering management compensation is not used to fill in gaps. |
This round checked the NBS2025 Table 6 and its notes and selected the broad job reference according to hard facing construction tasks; the annual averages for the two construction unit types are listed separately, and different populations are not pieced into a personal range. The earlier search of China State Construction and Shanghai government domains produced no matching complete setting recruitment pay sample, so the scope is limited and this round did not re-check recruitment.
When comparing jobs, check the contracting party, work location, hourly or piece rates, training period, overtime, material and tool costs, payment milestones and pre-tax or after-tax amounts. This is an editorial checklist, not a specific employer's offer.
For piece rates, first check whether the measure is area, unit count or process, the unit price, and who bears acceptance, rework, waiting and material costs. Without these conditions a monthly income cannot be calculated; the contract's total takings and the individual's labour pay are checked separately.
How progress, waiting, rework and overtime affect income requires the actual contract and records. Fixed, variable, cost and deduction items are listed separately, unknowns are not filled with zero, and paid construction every day is not assumed.
Insufficient evidence: the wage change ratio caused by AI adoption in Chinese tile and stone setting was not obtained. Occupational profiles, industry wages and general frameworks provide no matching causal result; record assistance does not equal an equivalent pay cut.
| The median is the middle position of the statistical population and does not represent entry level, a skill grade, an after-tax amount or what every person receives over the year. |

Some OEWS annual wages use a statistical conversion of 2,080 hours and do not guarantee an individual's actual paid hours or annual take-home pay. Personal compensation still requires checking the contract, hours, expenses and deductions, and a statistical annual value is not an income promise.
OEWS wages exclude the self-employed, and the employment projection has different coverage from wages; an employee median cannot be multiplied by all employment to estimate total occupational income.
A percentile is a position in the wage distribution, not seniority, a skill grade or a wage an individual must reach; comparisons keep the work, period, units and expenses consistent.
Check hourly or piece rates, the training period, overtime, actual paid arrangements and costs. Statistical wages, employer offers and personal take-home pay are listed separately, and one project's total takings cannot replace wages.
| Industry | Merged category annual median / coverage | How to understand |
|---|---|---|
| Construction (merged category) | 59,090 US dollars/year (merged category) | The 2025 construction industry figure of 59,090 US dollars/year is the median for merged category 47-2040 covering carpet, floor and tile installation and finishing; it is not the industry wage for the separate tile and stone occupation 47-2044. |
| Specialty trade contracting (merged category) | 55,990 US dollars/year (merged category) | The 2025 specialty trade contracting figure of 55,990 US dollars/year is likewise a 47-2040 merged category median; it includes other flooring occupations and cannot serve as a precise industry ranking or employer offer for this occupation. |
| Manufacturing (merged category) | 46,780 US dollars/year (merged category) | The 2025 manufacturing figure of 46,780 US dollars/year is likewise a 47-2040 merged category median; it cannot be used to infer a causal pay increase from switching industries, the pay of all manufacturing employees or this occupation's starting wage. |
| Self-employed (coverage note) | Statistics exclude the self-employed | The self-employed are not covered by OEWS wages; this row only explains coverage and does not serve as a fourth industry wage ranking. |
Specific hours, measurement, waiting, rework and payment affect personal income; the national projection guarantees no project hiring or number of construction days.
Define the responsibility for materials, locations, measuring and setting, and handover; design, substrate confirmation and acceptance authority cannot be automatically folded into a setter's tasks.
Industry differences are affected by occupational mix, region and population; also check the materials, site, commuting, physical load, protection and training, and do not look only at the merged wage.
The 2025 employment base period； coverage differs from wages
The published 2025—2035 rate, not an AI causal result
Growth and replacement openings, not net additions
Can RC decide whether setting suits me?
Realistic and Conventional indicate interest in materials, handwork and orderly checking and cannot be used to infer that a person must match the letters. First experience the drawings and quantities, then learn about the physical load and training conditions.
Do not use it this way:Paper interest does not prove you enjoy kneeling, lifting or a dusty environment; interest and actual conditions are checked separately.
Understand my career interestsWhich work habits are worth observing together with the results?
Turn results into questions about preparation, checking and revision: are the units consistent, do the materials correspond, is there a recomputation after a version change. There is no pass line for any dimension, so record specific behaviour and feedback separately and do not replace verification with labels.
Do not use it this way:The work location, commuting and hours need to be coordinated with real responsibilities. Ask clearly about paid arrangements, waiting and changes, and do not infer from the occupational name that everyone can be on call all day.
Understand my Big Five traitsCan introversion or extroversion decide fit for setting?
No. Checking dimensions independently and promptly communicating missing items are both task requirements, and social preference differs from execution ability. Observe preparation, listening and explaining problems separately.
Do not use it this way:Do not explain recruitment outcomes or rule out untried directions with four letters.
Understand my personality preferencesHow do you observe your motivation to do setting work?
Distinguish interest in the finished look from interest in materials and in actually re-checking repeatedly. Several expectations can coexist; what matters is that you still record honestly and correct when a version changes or an error occurs.
Do not use it this way:Do not judge talent or guess others' psychology from a motivation label; first describe behaviour.
Understand my motivation cluesHow is dimension and drawing comprehension verified?
Use E1 to check the units, area and rows and columns, and E2 to check the change and colour quantities. Point out which dimension, cell or version the error is in; one general test cannot replace spatial, handwork and on-site training and has no hiring cut-off score.
Do not use it this way:Locate the error to a unit, a count or a version and do not infer overall ability from one mistake; recompute that step specifically.
Understand my cognitive performanceHow do you communicate missing items while keeping the boundary?
First restate the location, drawing and material requirements, then state the conditions you cannot confirm and hand them to the appropriate responsible person. Cooperating seriously does not mean accepting untrained cutting or unconfirmed detail work.
Do not use it this way:First check kneeling, squatting and bending, lifting and dust conditions on site; the paper exercise requires no dangerous tools. Make your own limits and training gaps clear, and do not prove determination by accepting dangerous arrangements.
Understand my communication cluesBetter match:Willing to check drawings, colours and joints and to examine details repeatedly.
Note:Real substrate, tool and material training are checked separately; a tidy paper result does not mean acceptable.
Better match:More interested in stone specifications, locations and interfaces, and willing to check changes.
Note:Stone conditions differ from tile, and lifting and installation training and authority are checked separately.
Better match:More interested in stone walls, piers and masonry output.
Note:Additional masonry trade and corresponding structural training is needed; setting experience does not transfer automatically.
View related occupations:StonemasonsBetter match:More interested in sheet and tile flooring and a continuous floor finish.
Note:Additional training in the corresponding materials and processes is needed, and hard tile methods cannot be copied.
View related occupations:Resilient flooring installationBetter match:Willing to assist with materials, tools and records according to the on-site division of labor.
Note:Helper responsibility differs from independent setting, and the actual tasks and training need checking.
View related occupations:Brickmason and tile setter helpersBetter match:More interested in continuous plastering and stucco decoration.
Note:The output and materials differ, requiring trade training rather than a simple renaming.
View related occupations:Plastering and stucco workUnderstanding dimensions has to result in quantities. In E1, first convert between metres and millimetres, check the rows and columns, then count the two colours separately; when a calculation is wrong, note which step it was and recompute while keeping the original value. Paper accuracy only supports further exploration and does not prove actual setting or proficiency with measuring tools.
When receiving feedback, first restate the changed drawing and version and point out which material quantities must be recomputed. If the requirement is vague you can ask specific questions and do not have to prove professionalism through unconditional compliance; when the substrate or detail basis is missing, keep it to be checked.
When not hired, first check the task match, your real experience and the feedback given; if no reason was published, keep it unknown and do not guess with physical or personality labels. For the next step, choose something you can improve such as dimension checking, records or understanding the job, and do not substitute repeated self-criticism for training.
Not necessarily. First do the drawing, counting, revision and handover to see whether you are willing to repeat those details, then check the handwork training and physical conditions. E1—E3 leave the initial version, the revised version and the list to be checked, separating liking the result from being willing to complete the process over the long term.
First separate preference from communication tasks. Quiet people also need to explain dimension conflicts, and sociable people also need to check units and drawings. Observe whether you can hear the requirements, re-check independently and hand over promptly, and do not let one type decide whether you can work in the trade.
No. A feel for drawings does not replace dimensions, materials, substrate and tool training. The work sample states that it is your own paper calculation and recording and does not pass as on-site setting; specific recruitment still checks real skills and project conditions.
List the locations and times you can work with and the changes that need confirming in advance, then compare real jobs. A constraint is not a personality flaw, and you do not have to accept any arrangement because of the occupational name; check missing conditions first and make no promise you cannot keep.
You can complete the fictitious E1—E3 with only paper and pen or a form. Record the question, your own calculations and the revisions; no cutter, tile or site is needed at all. The work sample only shows your checking and expression and does not equal a construction assessment or real experience.
Turn the test description into a dimension checking or feedback behaviour question and use the task records to support or refute it. The situation, exercise and conditions all affect performance, so there is no need to test repeatedly until you get a desired label; keep the behavioural evidence and the unknowns.
List the tasks you are willing to repeat, the errors and revisions, the training gaps and the working conditions you cannot accept. Choose just one job with a clear material and location to learn more about and check the training and pay; one experience does not guarantee career success.
Reduce risk：First check the material being cut or ground, the dust information, on-site exposure control, training and protection arrangements. The OSHA material is US background, and this page does not give readers cutting or protective selection operations.
Basis：OSHA: crystalline silica in construction
Typical scenario：Heavy stone, tools or work intensity are increased on the spot while the person's training and arrangements are not yet confirmed.
Main jobs：People who must keep kneeling, squatting and bending, lifting or using tools
Possible consequences：Forcing the work may affect the person's own and co-workers' safety, and the actual conditions need checking.
Reduce risk：Kneeling, squatting and bending, lifting and tool use must be assessed against the real task, stating your limits and training gaps; do not take on untrained tasks to rush the work, and the exercise is paper only.
Basis：O*NET47-2044.00: tile and stone setting
Typical scenario：Looking only at the price per square metre without checking acceptance, rework, waiting and material and tool costs.
Main jobs：People paid by area, process or contracting arrangement
Possible consequences：Total takings differ from actual labour pay, and settlement or cost changes affect take-home pay.
Reduce risk：An area rate or piece rate cannot be treated directly as net income; check the measure and acceptance, rework, waiting, tool and material costs and payment, and do not promise income from an industry average wage.
Basis：O*NET47-2044.00: tile and stone setting
Typical scenario：Treating a course certificate or skill grade as full site-entry and hazardous work authority.
Main jobs：People entering a specific Chinese construction project
Possible consequences：Using an inapplicable certificate and wrongly believing you can take on untrained or unauthorised tasks.
Reduce risk：Site-entry training, skill grades and special task qualifications are checked separately. The Beijing 2022 guideline is only a local project example and cannot support a conclusion of uniform certification for all setting jobs nationwide.
Basis：Beijing 2022: guideline for the allocation of skilled workers at construction sites
Typical scenario：Uploading project data to make an AI summary without checking organisational permission and data handling.
Main jobs：People who handle customer addresses, drawings and quotation records
Possible consequences：Unpublished material may leak, and a generated conclusion may also misread dimensions or versions.
Reduce risk：Use fictitious drawings for the exercise. Real customer drawings, addresses and quotations are handled according to organisational permission, and an AI summary does not prove the data can be uploaded or made public.
Basis：NIST AI RMF1.0 · O*NET47-2044.00: tile and stone setting
Typical scenario：Passing a paper drawing off as real construction, or guessing personal ability reasons when the application result is unknown.
Main jobs：People without experience, changing material or location, or looking for projects
Possible consequences：False experience affects collaboration and leaves the training and job condition gaps unresolved.
Reduce risk：Record the work sample, training and recruitment match separately, and keep ungiven feedback as unknown; check the real job tasks and conditions and do not exaggerate construction experience out of anxiety.
Basis：O*NET47-2044.00: tile and stone setting · Beijing 2022: guideline for the allocation of skilled workers at construction sites
Insufficient evidence: a search on 2026-10-01 of the official domains of China State Construction and the Shanghai government for tile and inlay recruitment wages obtained no sample matching the tasks, amounts and complete conditions. Engineering management or campus recruitment is not treated as a setter sample, and no opening counts, demand rates or national wages are calculated.
| Entry-level directions | What you mainly do at the start | Employer requirements and the basis for observation | How to demonstrate ability without experience | How it differs from other directions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hard tile setting | Check dimensions, drawings, materials and on-site training; actual setting takes place within the approved conditions and authority. | Editorial observation: expression of units, drawings and missing items; the skills, hours and pay in a real announcement are checked separately. | Present the E1—E3 paper calculations and version records and make clear that there is no construction experience. | A direction within this occupation; a paper work sample is not proof of tool operation or acceptance. |
| Stone laying and installation | Check the stone specification, location and installation basis and work within the training and authority. | Editorial observation: material, dimension and detail issues; no uniform employer requirement is invented. | Use fictitious drawings to present your checking approach and mark the stone installation training gap. | Part of the same occupation's tasks; different materials and installation conditions require separate training. |
| Related helper roles | Assist with materials, tools and clean-up according to the on-site division of labor, with real tasks checked against training first. | O*NET47-3011 is the merged brickmason and tile setter helper occupation, not a matching recruitment announcement. | Honestly present your records and collaboration readiness without claiming independent setting proficiency. | A separate occupation; helper experience does not automatically become a qualified setter. |
| Exploring training or an apprenticeship | First check how the course, feedback, safety and job correspond, and do not go straight into dangerous operations. | US BLS describes on-the-job learning and some apprenticeship background, which does not represent a Chinese course promise. | Use the units, grid, materials and unknowns list to explain your preparation and gaps. | A learning path, not a seven-day certificate, a uniform grade or a hiring guarantee. |
| Real recruitment verification | Check the region, material and location, skills, hours and measurement and payment. | Insufficient evidence: this round obtained no complete matching recruitment sample, so no uniform employer standard is written. | Truthfully state your training and your own work sample and apply only when the current requirements are met. | Check each current announcement as it comes and do not fill in offers from industry averages. |
O*NET provides a setting task baseline; this round found no complete matching Chinese recruitment sample, so no employer endorsement of the work sample is claimed.
Submit the E1 grid and calculations, then use the new E2 version to explain the changes and shortfalls.
E3 lists fictitious batches, stock, requirements and construction conditions to be checked, without inventing customer authorisation.
List separately the time, commuting, training and physical load items to check; being ready does not mean accepting any construction arrangement.
In E1, draw 4 rows and 5 columns, mark the white and grey alternation and check the total area, 20 units and the requirement for two colours.
In E2, keep v1, change r1c1 to grey, draw v2 and recompute the white and grey quantities and the stock difference.
E3 lists the specifications, fictitious batches, stock requirement, shortfall and site unknowns.
Note that it is paper only, your own calculation and revision, with no cutting, setting or project acceptance; list the next training gap.
| Scenario | What to check | How to observe | What cannot be inferred from this |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before applying | Check the material and location, work site, skill training and pay. | The materials and work sample are truthful and the gaps are clear. | Meeting the format does not guarantee hiring. |
| Receiving a change | Check the drawing version, the changed cells and the material quantities. | Keep the before and after drawings and calculations and explain the unknowns. | Getting it right on paper does not prove you can build on site. |
| Agreeing the employment terms | Check measurement, acceptance, rework, costs and payment. | Keep the contracting party, the confirmed items and the questions to check. | A unit price or a verbal invitation does not equal a net income guarantee. |
| Review preparation | Check the steps you completed and the training gap. | Show the calculation revisions, noting the fictitious model and that no construction took place. | An editorial scenario, not a uniform employer exam. |
| Qualification / preparation items | Who it mainly suits | Realistic role in job seeking | Whether it is a common entry threshold | Enrollment / processing conditions | Investment considerations | Important limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Education and on-the-job training | People preparing to learn the corresponding material processes | Supports skill and feedback preparation | Typical US requirement of no formal educational credential but long-term on-the-job training; China is checked separately | Check the content, feedback, tool and safety training by job or course | Try it first, then check the cost and time; there is no uniform tier | A US BLS group measure; no education requirement does not mean no training. |
| Skill grade or vocational training certificate | People intending to take the corresponding skill learning or assessment | Present the training or grade according to the certificate's purpose | The name cannot be used to conclude that setting has a uniform mandatory national certification | Check the issuing body, trade scope, application conditions and current arrangements | Check the cost and training against the real project and do not promise a crash course | The JGJ/T315-2016 publication notice checked supports only the standard's name and date; the full text or the latest replacement status was not checked. |
| Local project site-entry training | People entering an applicable construction project | Check the site-entry education, real-name registration and training conditions | Depends on the regional project and task; it is not one uniform national certificate | The Beijing 2022 guideline example covers labour contracts, safety education, real-name registration and the general / special trade classification; your own applicability is checked separately | Confirm through the organisation's process before entry, and do not fill in cost or duration | The Beijing building and municipal example does not directly list all inlay tasks or the current national requirements. |
| Special task qualifications | People whose real task involves local special work | Evidence of the corresponding special task conditions | Check only against the jurisdiction of the real task; do not infer from the setting job title | Check the local task classification, training and examination, and the permit scope | First confirm whether you really need to take it on, and do not buy irrelevant certificates | A skill grade or course certificate does not automatically replace the corresponding qualifications for working at height, lifting, electrical work and similar. |
| Actual employer conditions | People applying for jobs with a clear material and location | Used to check that occasion's ability and arrangements | The current job announcement and contract govern | Check the skills, experience, hours, measurement and training; the sample is missing this round | Prepare only for the matching conditions and do not promise compensation from industry averages | With no complete matching sample obtained, no uniform recruitment threshold is written and no hiring is guaranteed. |
| Paper work samples and experience statement | Explorers without on-site experience yet | Present your approach to units, drawings, versions and records | It is a work sample, not a construction certificate | E1—E3 fictitious material, with your own calculations and revisions written truthfully | Paper and pen or a form is enough; no cutting equipment is needed | Does not prove construction, substrate confirmation, acceptance qualification or real work experience. |
Use only paper and pen or a form. A fictitious rectangle 3.0 m × 2.4 m using 600 mm × 600 mm squares; it is a mathematical model only and ignores joint width, cutting, waste, substrate and details, so it is not for actual ordering or construction.
v1: 4 rows and 5 columns, rows r1—r4 from top to bottom and columns c1—c5 from left to right. r1c1 is white; adjacent cells in the same row and in the same column alternate white and grey. All 20 cells are covered. Stock: white batch A 12 units, grey batch B 9 units, all model 600×600; on paper only the given colours and batches are checked.
In E1, draw v1 and calculate the rows and columns, area, total unit count and the two-colour requirement, then list the surplus or shortfall against stock. E2 changes only r1c1 to grey, leaves the other 19 cells unchanged and records it as v2; recompute the white and grey requirements and the stock difference. This change deliberately cancels the alternation rule for that cell and does not require restoring a chequerboard.
E3 adds no deliveries and no physical installation occurs; write the handover using v2: specifications, batches, stock, requirement, shortfall, version and the still-unknown site conditions. Keep v1 and do not let the new version overwrite the old one.
600 millimetres = 0.6 metres; 3.0 ÷ 0.6 = 5 columns and 2.4 ÷ 0.6 = 4 rows, 20 cells in total; each cell is 0.36 square metres, total 7.2 square metres. In v1, every two rows give 5 of each colour, totalling 10 white and 10 grey: 2 white left over and 1 grey short.
v2 changes only the white r1c1 to grey, giving 9 white and 11 grey, still 20 in total and 7.2 square metres; white stock of 12 leaves 3 over and grey stock of 9 is 2 short. E3 records v2, white A12 needs 9 with 3 over, grey B9 needs 11 with 2 short; no delivery was provided, so it cannot be written as fully stocked or laid. The actual joint width, waste, substrate, details, material suitability and acceptance remain to be checked.
All dimensions, stock and drawings are editorially fictitious simplifications. There is no on-site construction, cutting, lifting or adhesive work; you are not required to buy materials, take photographs, contact customers or enter a site.
The grid answer only verifies the model calculation and version records; it does not confirm real quantities, that batches can be mixed, material suitability, substrate waterproofing or project acceptability. The work sample makes clear that it is your own paper exploration and does not claim an employer evaluation or a construction qualification.
Read E1 and unify metres and millimetres; produce a conditions card and a list of assumptions and construction unknowns.
Draw a two-colour grid of 4 rows and 5 columns, marking the rows, columns and version; produce a 20-cell diagram.
Calculate the area, the white and grey requirement and the stock difference; produce the calculation table and the corrections of errors.
Keep v1 and change r1c1 to grey as v2; produce the changed cell and the new diagram, without restoring the alternation for that cell.
Calculate the white and grey requirement and the shortfall in v2 and compare with the reference; produce the differences between the two versions and the reasons for the revisions.
Add no deliveries; use v2 to write the specifications, batches, stock, requirement and items to check; produce a paper record with no construction.
Summarize the work sample, the tasks you are willing to repeat and the training conditions; produce one follow-up exploration question with a clear material and location.

View occupation detailsYou can do the E1—E3 fictitious grid, quantities, version change and handover with only paper and pen or a form, with no tools or site; it does not count as real construction experience.
The typical US measure is no formal educational credential and long-term on-the-job training; Chinese skill grades, local site entry and special tasks are checked by task separately, and the Beijing 2022 guideline is only a local example.
Insufficient evidence: no isolated net AI employment effect or score was obtained. A checklist can be trialled editorially, but the dimensions, drawings, site basis and responsibility need human checking.
US wages cannot be used to estimate personal compensation in China. In China, the 2025 pre-tax annual average for the broad production and manufacturing job group in above-scale enterprises is 80,739 yuan, covering construction and other personnel; the construction figures of 92,036 / 66,275 yuan for non-private / private belong to a different population. None is a separate median, starting wage or personal range for setters, and the gaps in the precise distribution and matching offers remain.
Check the actual material dust, kneeling and lifting, tool and on-site training, measurement, rework and payment; the OSHA material is US background and gives no Chinese permit or personal operating tutorial.
Observe the willingness to work with dimensions and drawings, record revisions, check details and collaborate, then check the training, physical load and actual conditions; RC is not a personality threshold.
The E1 grid and calculation, the E2 single-cell change and stock difference, and the E3 no-construction handover and unknowns list. Note the fictitious model and your own contribution, and do not call it project acceptance or a skill certificate.
Explain the location, version, measurements and missing items to the project's designated responsible person and handle them within actual authority; a paper reader does not take on real construction, purchasing or acceptance.

Keep the old and new versions and make clear which cells, materials and quantities changed. A correct paper calculation does not prove it can be set in practice; when joint width, cutting loss, substrate and details are unconfirmed, do not claim the site quantity is settled.
Check the training, protection, exposure control and on-site authority, and raise questions with the appropriate responsible person. This page does not instruct cutting, adhesive mixing, demolition, climbing or heavy stone lifting.
Check material specifications, drawings, quantities and to-be-confirmed items, and keep change and handover records. Hand unconfirmable substrate, detail or quality issues to the person in charge, and do not treat a shift handover record as acceptance.
Qualification boundaries：Structural and fixing design and acceptance do not automatically belong to the installer.
Next step：Gradually check new materials, locations and training.
Typical responsibilities：Use feedback from several real occasions to improve the corresponding installation tasks and collaboration.
Promotion evidence：Experience with a clear material and location, not just surface photographs.
Qualification boundaries：Moving into stone masonry, design or management requires checking the requirements against the new responsibility.
Next step：Continue on the main line or add the new trade and job capabilities.
Qualification boundaries：Budget, purchasing, construction approval and acceptance authority cannot be conflated.
Next step：Before expanding, check the new tools and job responsibility.
Typical responsibilities：Clarify the conditions before taking on new responsibility, and there is no automatic move into management by years of construction.
Promotion evidence：Real tasks and feedback, stating specifically what you have taken on.
Qualification boundaries：Estimating, management, training and design each have their own requirements to check.
Next step：Continue in the job or add specialist knowledge and organisational ability.
Usage limitations：Editorial ratings use the existing occupational responsibilities and AI task analysis on this page. They are not adoption rates, measured effects, job-disappearance or personal-unemployment probabilities, or official scores from Stanford or another external institution. No measured time weights or future robot deployment are assumed.
