Welcome to the MMPC webpage for architects! This page will be under continuous construction with links to matters of interest to your profession. We invite you to make an appointment for our first AIA/CES program "Affordable Masonry" and our second AIA/CES program "Masonry Cavity Walls, Inside and Out", both of which qualify participants for 1 Sustainable Design HSW credit. Additional programs are in production with content based on feedback from our "Architects Survey". Also be sure to check out the "Noteworthy Details" section of our website for some masonry detailing ideas. Send us any details that you would like to share.
