Our team provided multiple services to facilitate the publication of this guide. We served as the primary authors of the content, prepared the document’s illustrations, created an overall publication design unique to this guide, and managed the document’s production.
Using our previous work on the 2016 National Masonry Systems Guide: Northwest Edition as the basis, we adapted the content for this guide to accommodate the unique climate of the Rocky Mountain region and local design and construction practices. We worked with designers, engineers, and mason contractors operating in Colorado and southern Wyoming to identify the greatest design and construction needs of the region, focus the technical content of the guide on systems most applicable to the region, and develop technically sound and region-specific construction details.
The guide accommodates a broad range of projects and performance expectations, and stresses the importance of managing air leakage so readers will learn specific actions they can take to provide a successful air barrier system.
