8. THE CONTRACTOR IS RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT ALL MASONRY STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS

Development Review Committee Meeting · 2026-05-06 · agenda_item

This item concerns a requirement for contractors working on future projects in the City of Apopka. It specifies that all masonry structural elements must be properly braced to withstand forces like wind, backfilling, and soil compaction during construction. This bracing must stay in place until the structure is finished. This requirement is currently under review by the Development Review Committee. The work would involve ensuring proper bracing techniques are applied during the construction of masonry structures. This could include site preparation, foundation work, and the erection of masonry walls and elements. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in masonry construction, structural engineering, and site safety could benefit from understanding this requirement early. Engaging with the city or project developers before final plans and permits are issued may provide an advantage.
