I thought they were a blend of two classical fantasy tropes - ogres and dwarves (the first is obvious, and the ability to build with stone is usually attributed to dwarves)
R. Fox
The author was an admitted freemason and there is quite a lot out there on allusions to it in the series, including use of its symbols. I'm fairly ignorant of freemasonry, but at least that much is discussed in all the biographical information you can find on the author and the series.
Roxy
I don't think so. The freemasons originated from real-life masons and the Ogier do perform great stonework as well, but not for pleasure. It is not their origin, just something they learned to do to get by
MiloÅ¡ Äekić
No. Freemasons are more than eager to sit behind all kinds of world events while the Ogiers who venture outside their homeland are rare (Loial is such example) and their interest in the outside world is based on them longing about times (grooves) passed.
