Understanding Masonry Codes & Standards Webinar

Put the masonry code into practice

By Tim O’Toole

The Mason Contractors Association of America will host the Understanding Masonry Codes & Standards webinar on Wednesday, August 17, 2011, at 9:00 AM CT. Tickets can be purchased at www.masoncontractors.org/live.

This intensive webinar will guide you step-by-step through the masonry specification provisions included in the consensus masonry standards and pertinent details in the Masonry Code and the IBC. At the same time, it will cover basic masonry design and construction examples that contractors need to know, using both the Code and the Specification. This seminar is intended for contractors who will be applying for Certification and who use the Specification to erect masonry structures.

Many changes have been made to the Masonry Specification along with some important changes in the IBC. This seminar will familiarize you with these new provisions, and how they may affect your masonry construction projects.

By the end of this seminar, you will have a real feel for the Code, so that you can put the new Masonry Code into practice.

Register for this webinar today at www.masoncontractors.org/live.
