What does a “masonry-based structure” actually mean?
Is the base made of masonry? Is the structure of a 9 story building made of masonry? Is the structure based on masonry?
I’m guessing the structure will be steel or concrete and the building will be masonry faced.
Yeah it’s a little wishywashy. What comes to mind is something with a lot of cmu blocks.
Masonry based means CMU structure. Generally CMU can support buildings up to 12 or 13 floors.
I would like to apply for this building Please advise.
Thank You
