EDUCATION

Empowering the masonry industry through training, resources, and events.

CODES & STANDARDS

In an effort to define the quality of workmanship and materials, the Arizona Masonry Council has developed three levels of quality:

  • ECONOMY
  • STANDARD
  • CUSTOM

When used alone, this Standard is advisory, and its use is optional. When this Standard is included by reference in the Contract Document specifications, this Standard becomes a part thereof.
