Structural Masonry for Gilbert's Growing Commercial Base

CMU structural walls, fire-rated assemblies, and site wall construction built to structural drawings for Gilbert's retail centers, medical offices, and light-industrial buildouts — reinforcement schedule and grout scope pulled directly from the engineer's plans.
  • Retail & Light-Industrial Construction Experience

  • Reinforcement Built From the Drawing Set, Not a Guess

  • One Structural Team. Masonry, Concrete & Demolition.

Gilbert’s commercial corridor has grown fast around retail, medical office, and light-industrial development supporting its residential base, and most of that growth still needs structural masonry built to a specific engineer’s drawing set rather than a generic detail. Father & Son Masonry has built CMU structural work across the Phoenix metro since 1994, and every Gilbert project follows the same discipline — reinforcement schedule, bond beam placement, and grout scope taken directly from the structural drawings.

We coordinate with general contractors, architects, and structural engineers on Gilbert projects, from ground-up commercial shells to fire-rated tenant improvement walls inside buildings that stay open through construction.

What Structural Masonry Covers in Gilbert

  • Load-bearing and non-load-bearing CMU walls built from approved structural drawings
  • Fire-rated masonry assemblies for retail and medical office tenant improvements
  • Structural retaining walls, elevator shaft walls, and mezzanine supports
  • Bond beam reinforcement and cell grouting matched to the reinforcement schedule
  • Trash enclosure and site wall construction for commercial developments

Built to IBC and Gilbert’s Local Requirements

Commercial masonry in Gilbert falls under the International Building Code as adopted and amended by Arizona, with the Town of Gilbert enforcing its own local amendments. Seismic reinforcement detailing, wind load compliance, and the fire-rated assembly specification for a given occupancy classification all follow from that combination, built to whichever code edition is currently in effect.

Mortar selection is driven by the structural drawings — Type M for below-grade or high-load applications, Type S for above-grade structural CMU, Type N for non-load-bearing walls. Maricopa County’s expansive soils are a standard consideration in foundation and below-grade masonry design on Gilbert sites, and we schedule inspection holds with the Town of Gilbert in advance to keep the masonry sequence from delaying other trades.

Frequently Asked Questions About Masonry Services

  • Retail and medical office tenant improvements, trash enclosures, and site retaining walls are common scopes, along with fire-rated partition construction for multi-tenant buildings.
  • Yes — Gilbert enforces the IBC as adopted by Arizona along with its own local amendments, and commercial masonry projects go through the standard reinforcement, grouting, and final inspection holds coordinated with the town's building department.
  • We re-price the affected scope against the revised drawings rather than assuming the original estimate still applies, so there's no dispute later about what changed and why.
