When to Call a Masonry Contractor
Commercial Construction
Block construction is standard in commercial builds — warehouses, retail spaces, and industrial buildings rely on CMU for structural walls.
Residential Foundations
Block foundations are common in Fraser Valley homes, particularly in older construction. We repair and extend existing block foundations.
Detached Garages and Shops
Block walls are a practical and durable choice for detached garages and workshop buildings.
Our Concrete Block Construction Process
Layout & Footing
All block walls start on a concrete footing poured to the right width and depth for the wall load.
First Course
First course is set in full mortar beds on the footing, levelled, and aligned. This sets the grid for every course above.
Block Laying
Courses are built up with face shells mortared, head joints filled, and alignment checked every course.
Reinforcement
Rebar and grout cores are placed per the structural design — every wall we build meets BC Building Code requirements.
Parging or Finish
Exterior foundation walls are parged for moisture resistance. Above-grade block can be left exposed, painted, or clad.
