What we design

• Load-bearing and non-load-bearing CMU walls
• Reinforced masonry shear walls
• Foundations, roof framing, lintels, and bond beams
• Storefront openings, diaphragms, and seismic systems

Why CMU works

• Durable and low-maintenance wall system
• Good fire resistance for commercial occupancies
• Cost-effective for low-rise construction
• Useful thermal mass and acoustic performance

Applications

• Warehouses and storage buildings
• Grocery stores and supermarkets
• Retail and shopping centers
• Commercial, industrial, and utility buildings

Masonry Building Scope

• Reinforced masonry wall systems for commercial and industrial buildings
• Roof diaphragm coordination, lintels, bond beams, and foundations
• Storefront and large opening design within masonry wall systems
• Seismic detailing and code-compliant masonry engineering
