INDIANA/KENTUCKY STRUCTURAL MASONRY COALITION
The Indiana/Kentucky Structural Masonry Coalition is an alliance of masonry organizations working together to encourage the use of structural masonry
by providing resources and design support to the engineering community in Indiana and Kentucky.
The Coalition is founded on the belief that one system - masonry - provides the engineer tremendous design flexibility; that structural masonry is a key component to sustainable design; and that the economy of materials realized using structural masonry results in significant cost savings.
INTERNATIONAL MASONRY INSTITUTE
The International Masonry Institute (IMI) is a strategic alliance between the International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers and the contractors who employ those members. Through education, technical support, research and training the IMI works to provide a more efficient construction delivery system.
Team IMI consists of architects, engineers, construction managers, skilled craftworkers and instructors, offering what no other group can: expertise in training, craftsmanship, design, installation and marketing. That means buildings built by union craftworkers and contractors get built the right way.
