About The Rocky Mountain Masonry Institute (RMMI)

RMMI is proud to carry on Colorado's masonry tradition through education and outreach.  We are a consortium of more than 100 manufacturers, contractors, suppliers and associate members located throughout Colorado and Wyoming.

Our mission is to increase the understanding and use of masonry in homes, schools, and commercial building projects throughout the Rocky Mountain Region.  We also work to enhance everyone's awareness and appreciation of the beauty, durability, and environmental friendliness of brick, block and stone.

What's the benefit of working with a Certified RMMI Contractor or Supplier?  Masonry certification begins with a year-long continuing education program covering

all aspects of masonry design, construction and business management.  Masonry professionals who successfully complete the courses and pass a comprehensive examination may earn the coveted title of certified masonry contractor, professional or specialist.  As a condition of certification, all certified RMMI members pledge to adhere to the highest standards of craftsmanship and business practices.  They agree to abide by the manufacturing, workmanship and safety standards set forth by our industry's governing organizations -- the National Concrete Masonry Association, Brick Industry Association, American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM), and the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA).  They also endure periodic inspections by our safety and technical advisors, and they are committed to ongoing training to improve their knowledge and skills.  When you work with a certified RMMI member, you work with the most knowledgeable, experienced, and committed professionals in our industry.  What's more, RMMI's technical advisors will be there to help solve any technical problems or disagreements that may arise before, during or after construction -- at no cost to you.
