In this seminar, we cover basic principles of masonry support, how to manage costs, fixing design, and specification tips. We first cover the basics including at what point do buildings require masonry support. We then explore managing the costs of masonry support, discussing points such as design considerations, basic design principles, and load impact. In the third part, we review the fixing designs – what affects it and the main differences between using cast-in channels and post-fix. Lastly, we provide practical tips to help specifiers simplify the specification process and help them manage the project successfully.

This CPD session can be arranged in person or as a webinar.
