          Registration: 11:00am

          Lunch/Seminar: 11:30am – 1:00pm

This seminar is a collection of reoccurring observations of construction documents that will help you understand how to assemble comprehensive masonry information to create more functional durable, aesthetically pleasing and economical masonry details. Better masonry information in your construction documents will help mason contractors generate more inclusive bids, minimize or eliminate requests for information (RFIs) and changes during construction and help you establish realistic masonry expectations for your next project.

    • Review important components of masonry drawings and specifications and how they work together to convey your design to mason contractors.
    • Discover the 10 most common masonry detailing mistakes we see in construction documents.
    • Understand what key masonry information should be shown on the drawings verses in the specification.
    • Learn how to create a comprehensive set of masonry construction documents.

CSI Knoxville Chapter President’s Message - December

Posted: Tue, Dec 04, 2018

 

As we wrap up the Thanksgiving holiday and slide into December, we want to take a moment to thank all those who work continuously behind the scenes at CSI to make this organization a success. Thank you! Your efforts are greatly appreciated!

Well the holidays have now arrived and the time when we should slow down, take a break, and wind down the year unfortunately turns into a mad rush to meet that project deadline or end of the year sales target. A rush to get to that next event through all the traffic, and trying to figure out why in the world that string of lights you just bought last year won’t light up…….unfortunately after you just finished putting everything on the entire tree. Well, no matter what frustrations you may run into this holiday season, take the time to hit the pause button, look through the madness and find the positives that surround you. They’re there. You just have to look for them. Take time to enjoy this season of giving and celebrate with those around you.

Speaking of celebrating and finding a moment to relax, mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 11th for CSI’s annual Christmas Party from 6pm to 8pm. This year in addition to fun, food, music and socializing, we have decided to incorporate the 2018 CSI Awards ceremony into this special event. Make plans to attend this celebratory event and enjoy the time together. Note that this will take the place of our December Chapter Meeting. Be on the lookout for additional information and details in the days to come.

Speaking of trying to meet that end of the year target, the CSI Knoxville membership numbers continue to rise towards our annual goal. Per last month’s Regional membership report, the Knoxville Chapter has seen the most membership growth amongst all the other Chapters in our region. We’re not to our target yet, so everyone keep up the good work and continue inviting guests to our meetings so that we can keep the momentum going.

Looking ahead to 2019, we have some exciting events just around the corner. The January Chapter Meeting will be a special one. On Tuesday, January 8th we will be visiting the historic Blount Mansion where we will enjoy a catered lunch by Calhoun’s at the Welcome Center followed by a tour of Blount Mansion and the Craighead-Jackson House. Make plans to join us as we take a fieldtrip through history.

Vendor packets have been sent out for the 2019 ETN Building Products Show. The date is set for Tuesday, March 12th from 4pm to 8pm and the location is at the Foundry at World’s Fair Park. We have the entire facility reserved for this exciting and informative event and looking to pack the house full with vendors, products, organizations, companies, etc., and yes, food and drink. Space is limited so make plans now to get those packets turned in. We look forward to seeing everyone on March 12th.As you wind down and wrap up 2018, remember to slow down and enjoy the holidays. From all of us at CSI, we wish each and every one of you a blessed and very Merry Christmas!
