NEW! Architectural Survey

As we develop our architectural design center, we would love to have your professional opinion.

Masonry choices are critical to the design perspective for any project, large or small. Whether you are designing with brick, architectural cmu, limestone, natural stone, manufactured stone or precast, our supporting products can satisfy your needs. We have also partnered with our strong group of manufacturers to provide an array of continuing education seminars at either our new design center or at your office. You have choices for brick in design and we can help.

Design Center & AIA Presentations

We offer an entire catalogue of AIA/CES approved presentations and will give plant tours after those presentations. In addition to credits that are available to architects, we will schedule "hands on" demonstrations of the newest products in masonry and hardscaping. We will also bring this expertise to your office or jobsite. All of the presentations available at our classrooms can be done at your office. For groups of 15 or more, we will bus your employees to and from our site, so your people get the opportunity to see block produced and physically apply themselves in the installation of these products to understand their form and function. Call us at (301) 927-0175 or email us at classroom@emcoblock.com to schedule a presentation at our facility or have our personnel come to your office.

Custom Blending

When an individual product does not meet your specific needs, maybe a custom blended product is the solution?

A lot of factors come in to play when determining percentages for a special blend. Ernest Maier has and will take the steps to help make your design perspective a reality.
