There’s a reason block’s been around for ages: it works. The threat of fire, flood and severe weather are no match for CMU (concrete masonry units). When you consider the realities of worsening climate extremes and the urgency to curb carbon emissions, the manner in which we build must evolve.
Explore how builders are meeting the moment — and creating opportunities — with CMU.

Few cities test a building’s limits like Chicago. From frigid winters and scorching summers to lake-driven winds and dense urban conditions, it’s a proving ground for materials. That’s why architects, developers, and builders here need solutions that not only perform under today’s intense pressures but also contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.
We’d love to hear about your project. Contact us for a quick chat about your goals and how CMU can take your design to the next level.
