Ohio mason Cole Stamper made history at the Spec Mix Bricklayer 500 World Championship by winning the 2025 Spec Mix Bricklayer 500. The brother duo of Cole and Forest Stamper laid 738 bricks in one hour to claim the title, “World’s Best Bricklayer,” and Cole is now the proud owner of a new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4×4 truck, an Essick Pro12 Mixer, and thousands more in additional cash and prizes.
When asked what it was like hearing his name called as the new champion, Cole stated: “It was awesome, of course! It doesn’t get old. Even as they were announcing the other places, I wasn’t sure if I had it. It was that close between everyone. But it’s a great feeling.”
Marking the event’s 23rd anniversary, Spec Mix, LLC, hosted the world’s largest and most prestigious masonry competition, the Spec Mix Bricklayer 500. This action-packed bricklaying battle took place on Wednesday, January 22nd, 2025, at the World of Concrete expo in Las Vegas, NV. For sixty-minutes, the Stampers battled against 26 other masons and tenders from across North America, the United Kingdom, and Australia to lay as many bricks as they could with as few craftsmanship errors as possible.
