As building planners look beyond individual parts to consider how the whole building envelope will perform, cooperation is more important than ever. That’s why IMI educates other industry players on installation issues, and shows them how it makes sense to have masons coordinating all the moving parts.

In Cleveland, we got together this month with two dozen technical and marketing experts from Tremco, a leading supplier of sealants and weatherproofing worldwide. At the interactive training day, they particularly liked the chance to talk with our masonry experts.

They asked a lot of questions, but we learned a lot from them, too, including how we can make better buildings - together.

For Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Shepley Bullfinch chose Tremco weatherproofing and masonry for good looks and long life.
