Our Process
How We Approach

Layout, Footings & First Course
Wall line set, footings verified, and first course laid level and plumb against snapped lines. The first course controls the rest of the wall — never rushed.
Course Up, Reinforce & Grout
CMU coursed up with bond beam, lintels over openings, and vertical/horizontal reinforcement per engineer. Grout placed in reinforced cells with proper consolidation.
Cap, Inspect & Hand-Off
Top course, bond beam, and cap installed. Inspected before sheathing, finish, or backfill. Owner walk before finish scope begins.
