Brick facade repair methodology
Brick facade repair methodology
(OP)
Have been asked to evaluate an ongoing facade repair project, which requires removal of veneer along the floor slab edges for shelf angle and flashing repairs. I observed that the contractor is supporting brick above areas of removal with short 2x4 "cripples" spaced 3 to 5 feet apart, and my experience tells me this is inadequate. I typically require the use of structural steel plates or angles and screw-jacks or hydraulic jacks. QUESTION: Does anyone know of a generally accepted or documented standard that would apply to this case. It would be preferable to reference a documented standard that any qualified contractor should use as a guide.

Ron, BIA was among the first sources we checked. No dice. Thanks for the suggestion anyway...
