Concrete Masonry Unit Construction
CMU construction is a cornerstone of the commercial building services we offer at LRA Builders. Using Concrete Masonry Units, we create strong, durable, and versatile structures that meet the highest standards of performance and design. From structural walls and partitions to decorative facades, our team manages every step of the process — from site evaluation and block layout to reinforcement, mortar application, and finishing. By handling the entire scope of CMU work, we ensure your project meets exact specifications while maintaining safety, efficiency, and quality at every stage.
Every CMU project begins with detailed planning and preparation. We collaborate with architects, engineers, and project managers to finalize layouts, select the right block types, and determine the reinforcement and insulation methods that best suit the building’s purpose. This stage includes budgeting, scheduling, and securing all necessary permits. By identifying potential challenges early, we avoid costly delays and streamline the path from concept to completion.
In the construction phase, our skilled crews and trusted masonry subcontractors bring the design to life. From load-bearing block walls to specialty architectural units, each block is placed with precision, ensuring alignment, stability, and long-term durability. We use proven installation methods, high-quality materials, and strict quality control to ensure the finished structure is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
The final stage focuses on finishing and delivering a completed CMU structure ready for the next phase of your project. This may include applying protective coatings, integrating architectural details, or preparing the surface for additional finishes such as stucco, paint, or veneer. Before completion, we perform a thorough inspection to confirm that every detail meets your expectations and passes all required inspections. With LRA Builders, your CMU construction isn’t just a wall — it’s the foundation for a safe, efficient, and lasting commercial space.
