Dwarven Stone Carvers, and more stone effects.

The Carver cuts a variable size of stone out of the ground.

The block is the size of a pyramid block at least. A cottage size block sounds good too.

The properties of the block would allow it to be smoothed and engraved unlike the brick sized blocks in the game now. They could be mined in like regular stone.

The block is limited by it's weight. It needs a solid foundation to rest on. So you must channel out the soil underneath until you hit a stone to rest on.

After setting up the foundation another block could be placed on top. Perhaps light pollution wouldn't penetrate the block unlike the past above ground buildings keeping the light even if a roof has been built.

Moving the block is tricky. It facilitates the block but isn't part of the suggestion. Any machine works plausible or implausible. A single minecart pulling a block, or a wheelbarrow. Or a new counter weighted quarry lever thing is fine.

Digging invaders may be stopped by putting 1 x 1 blocks as foundation so they would fall on digging invaders. Block can be reused so fort won't become swiss cheese.
