Tips for Detailing Masonry Assemblies: Lessons Learned From IMI’s Drawing Reviews - 1 LU/HSW
Tuesday, June 27, 2023 | 12-1 p.m. Eastern Time
Presented by: IMI
Over the years, IMI has conducted thousands of masonry assembly drawing and specification reviews for architects, engineers, construction managers, general contractors, and mason contractors. Learn from our findings to help you assemble construction documents that lead to more functional, durable, constructible, aesthetically pleasing, and economical masonry details. We’ll review typical and reoccurring masonry detailing mistakes and give you tips for coordinating masonry drawing, specifications, and reviews. Finally, see how comprehensive construction documents help facilitate a successful project by supporting contractors in creating more inclusive bids and minimizing or eliminating requests for information (RFI’s) and changes during construction. You’ll walk away with a better understanding of what to expect on your next masonry project..
Learning Objectives:
-
Understand how masonry drawings and specifications are coordinated.
-
Discover the process for conducting masonry reviews.
-
Review typical and reoccurring masonry detailing mistakes in construction documents during architectural and engineering reviews.
-
Learn how to create comprehensive masonry details and specifications.
