IMI Webinar Series - Lessons Learned in Designing Durable, Constructable, and Cost-Effective Masonry Assemblies
Delivering durable and cost-effective masonry assemblies requires collaboration and technical precision.. We’re sharing our lessons learned from the field to help general contractors, construction managers, and design professionals identify gaps in construction documents and execute high-performance masonry systems. Explore proven strategies for managing moisture, accommodating movement, and optimizing structural masonry for long-term performance. We’ll discuss how to balance durability, constructability, and cost while reducing rework, minimizing risk, and improving efficiency. Through real-world case studies, you’ll gain actionable takeaways to help ensure masonry projects meet design intent, perform safely, and stand the test of time.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain moisture management and movement control strategies that enhance the durability and safety of masonry assemblies.
- Identify ways to optimize structural masonry for cost-effective, resilient, and high-performing construction.
- Evaluate masonry design and construction decisions through the lens of risk mitigation, constructability, and occupant safety.
- Analyze real-world case studies to understand how lessons learned improve masonry performance, reduce failures, and support long-term building welfare.
