A number of weeks ago I went to a lunch-n-learn at Bellevue Community College that was put on by the Masonry Institute of Washington. They have created a new website www.masonrydetails.com where you can download masonry details for free in both DWG as well as PDF formats. The website is intuitive and very easy to navigate. There are brick, CMU & Stone details showing typical wall sections, parapet details, details around windows, expansion joints etc. Prior to providing the info on the website, the details are created and reviewed by both architects and masonry contractors. The idea is that the site will expand and more details will be added as well as more info will be added in the future with suppliers and possibly a forum.
www.masonrydetails.com seems to be a great resource to for masonry details to start from when developing construction document sets.
