ICC masonry inspection

Every course, reinforced and grouted.

Reinforced masonry hides its strength inside the wall. Our ICC-certified inspectors check the steel, mortar and grout as the wall rises, course by course, before the cells are filled and the work is closed in.

What we verify

Checked on site, before it’s covered.

Each lift is inspected before it is grouted, because once the cells are filled the reinforcement can no longer be seen.
