National Association for Women in Masonry
Friday, November 26th, 2010Welcome to the National Association for Women in Masonry (NAWM). This website has been created to highlight the association while also providing an information base to help anyone wishing to enter this field. To that end we are continually publishing informational articles on a variety of subjects within the sphere of building, masonry and home improvements to cover every aspect of this wide and vast topic.
Seattle-based NAWM has its mission to create an environment through education, training, and networking that enhances the leadership skills of women in the building industry. NAWM was founded to help to build a large community of women who are devoted to leadership and also to offer many opportunities for their ongoing education and training. By doing so, this will create many opportunities for the continued inclusion of women in the fields of building, concrete and stone masonry while leading to a greater recognition of all our achievements.
Additional Information
In order to build this site into a solid repository of useful and usable information on all aspects of building, construction, finishing and home refurbishment and improvement, we are adding informational articles originally written for this site. They will cover many aspects of construction in both a domestic as well as business side of things. Here are just some of the areas we will be covering:
Patio and Terrace
The outdoor space of many homes is a useful area to socialize in and a well laid up patio or terrace is great place to do this. It must be remembered that good workmanship and a professional build and quality finish are great qualities by which to judge the best hard standing outdoor areas. Of course once they have been laid up, it makes a lot of sense to adorn them with well placed decorative plants and some nice furniture. Its worth reading some good patio furniture reviews to ensure you get the right type of outdoor furniture to match your outdoor space because you certainly don’t want anything to appear out of place.
Garage and Outbuildings
While most emphasis is generally placed on the house or main building itself, some additional thought should be given to garages and other outbuildings such as a workshop, brick or stone sheds and other solid structures. When considering the building of such structures, remember to take into account the need for professional skilled labor to ensure a safe and solid build.
The growing number of articles that will be and are already published here are all related to the building and stone masonry industry so that the information database grows into a reference for anyone who needs to extend their knowledge into further subjects that are incorporated withing this industry.
