Codes, Standards, Materials
Learn about the resources AMC has available for buyers, specifiers, designers, reviewers, and the general public. From our flagship Standard 107 that defines levels of quality, to our standard masonry fence details, to our workmanship site inspection services, AMC has the resources you need to be successful using masonry products.
AMG Standard 107
In an effort to define the quality of workmanship and materials, the Arizona Masonry Council has developed three levels of quality:
-
ECONOMY
-
STANDARD
-
CUSTOM
When used alone, this Standard is advisory, and its use is optional. When this Standard is included by reference in the Contract Document specifications, this Standard becomes a part thereof.
