Green Building
According to the U.S. Green Building Council, the green building industry is worth upwards of $12 billion. A significant portion of this growing trend can-and should be masonry construction. Masonry uncovers how masonry materials are inherently green and how they can be incorporated into green building techniques.
Ward's Masonry received an award in the government/institutional category of the 2007 MCAA International Excellence in Masonry Awards for the Holy Innocents Parish in Duvall Wash. The architect on the project was Becker Architects.
