Summary:

1. Masonry

a. Contractor to refer to mortar mixes section for selected mortar types based on location

and conditions. All testing to be by independent testing agency and all results are to be

forwarded to Architect of Record for review. Where mortars and grouts do not meet

strength, retesting may be permitted however acceptance of work will be at the

discretion of the Architect and Owner.

b. All completed, exposed masonry walls shall be cleaned of all dirt and efflorescence

prior to building occupancy using an appropriate Sure Klean product or approved equal.

c. All Concrete Mix Designs shall be made specifically for this project, based on the

parameters detailed on the Construction Drawings. All Designs shall be submitted to

the Design Team a minimum of four weeks prior to the pour date so that changes can

be made if required.

2. Unit Masonry

a. Concrete masonry units to be sized as indicated on drawings. All exterior masonry units

exposed to weathering and the environments are to be coated with elastomeric coating

per painting specifications, color as indicated in drawings. All exterior masonry units not

grouted are to receive foamed in place insulation, see related specifications.

3. Architectural Cast Stone
