Conclusion
In addition to its established aesthetic appeal, clear-cut financial advantages for architects, builders, owners, developers and operators, The Building Evaluations study indicates the use of masonry produces an increased return on equity, a better life cycle cost, an attractive rental environment and lower short and long-term capital investment.
Furthermore, masonry is sympathetic to most architectural environments and offers the advantage of both structural and landscape applications. Masonry offers the benefits of durability, cost and aesthetic beauty resulting from a variety of finishes, textures, colors and shapes. Masonry, with unequalled quality and performance, installed by unionized contractors and experienced bricklayers and mason tenders is the wall system for you. Make masonry an integral part of your next project.
