Description
Developed by The Masonry Society, this Guide presents a systematic methodology for the inspection and condition assessment of masonry façades. It is intended for use by building owners, architects, engineers, and building officials in support of façade ordinance compliance, restoration and repair programs, maintenance planning, and due diligence reporting.
The Guide opens with a discussion of the factors affecting masonry performance, then leads the user through the full façade assessment process via a structured flowchart and task outline covering each stage of inspection and evaluation. Appendices provide focused technical treatment of two specialized topics: distress patterns common to terra cotta façades, and assessment techniques for in-place masonry.
As a living document, the Guide is subject to ongoing revision as practice and research evolve.
