Commercial blockwork & load-bearing CMU · Loomis Yards & Bellfoundry Row · Since 1997
Block, on the square, on the schedule.
Corefill lays the walls the rest of the building leans on — reinforced CMU to the stamped schedule, masonry walls for fire separation and parapets that take the wind load, and coursing that lands on the structural drawings the first time. General contractors get a submittal package with the bid, not after it.
Bonded, insured and OSHA-30 crewed — submittals, mix designs and lift plans ship with the bid · (555) 832-9903 · block@corefillmasonry.example
Why GCs keep the number
The wall is the schedule.
A masonry package that slips takes the steel, the roof and the closeout with it. Corefill bids from the structural set with the submittal package attached, lays to a lift plan your superintendent can read at a glance, and calls inspections when the wall is ready — not when the day ends. The block arrives on our flatbeds, staged by the lift, so your site never babysits a pallet it cannot use.

How it goes
Submittals to closeout, without surprises
The same sequence on every job — the only variable is your project.
Day 0
The bid & submittals
Priced from the structural set inside seventy-two hours, with the submittal package travelling with the number: mix designs, reinforcement schedule, lift plan and the listed assemblies. What you award is what we filed.
Mobilisation
Staging & layout
Block on our flatbeds, staged lift by lift, off the crane path. Layout snapped off the column grid — the mason who establishes the line is the mason who keeps it, and our leads have run the same rods for a decade.
The lifts
Lay, fill, bond
CMU to the schedule with core-fill and bond beams poured at the called lifts, joints tooled as the wall climbs, and the inspector called the morning the wall is ready — inspections pass on the first visit because they were planned for it.
Topping
Parapets & lintels
The wind-load work and the bearing work: reinforcement to schedule, grout cylinders cast, lintels shored to the specified span. The top of the wall is where the certificate lives, and it is laid by the same crew as the rest.
Closeout
Reports & the punch
Grout-cylinder reports, inspection records, the as-laid schedule and a punch walk done with your superintendent before we demobilise. The closeout package ships complete, because incomplete paperwork is a delay wearing a clerical hat.
Before the award
The superintendent’s questions
Can you hold the schedule through a wet autumn?
Yes, because the plan assumes it: staged block under cover, mortar silos instead of bag stacks, scaffold sheeting in the bid from day one, and lift sequencing that keeps a dry face to work from. We lay through the season the county actually has, and the contingency for it is in the number you awarded, not a change order after it.
What do you need from us at mobilisation?
The structural set signed, the slab accepted, and the crane window. Everything else — reinforcement, mix designs, scaffolding, lift plans, block supply — is ours, arriving on our flatbeds staged by the lift. A masonry sub who needs babysitting is a second project manager you did not budget for.
How do you handle RFIs mid-lay?
Same-day, from the same phone that answered the bid. Our leads are setters who read structural drawings, not pass-throughs; most field questions are answered at the wall inside the hour, and the ones that genuinely need the engineer leave here with a photograph and a proposed detail attached.
Do you self-perform the reinforcement and grout?
All of it. The crew that lays the block places the rebar and pours the core-fill — one trade, one schedule, one accountable party from first course to closeout. The masonry walls that fail inspections are usually the ones where three subs each owned a third of the wall.
I have a short list of subs whose closeout package arrives complete, whose inspections pass first visit, and whose coursing I never re-measure. Corefill has been on it for nine years. The last block building I ran, they were laying off my grid on a Tuesday and the steel was hanging off their bond beam on the Friday.
The parapet took a January gale mid-build and their sequenced lifts meant there was never an uncured wall standing taller than it should have been. The wind-loaded section passed on the first inspection and the closeout package arrived before I asked. That combination has happened to me twice in twenty years.
They caught a bearing discrepancy on the lintel schedule at submittal, flagged it with a photograph and a proposed fix, and the engineer confirmed in a day. Every other sub would have laid it wrong and made it a month of meetings. The wall is still exactly where the drawing said.
Fire-rated masonry is where our schedule usually dies and theirs held the critical path through a brutal autumn. Staged flatbeds, sheeted scaffold, and inspectors who were called the morning the wall was ready instead of the afternoon it was not. We did not carry one day of float against their work.
One trade, wall to closeout
The crew that lays the block places the steel and pours the grout. One schedule, one accountable party, and no gap between three trades for a defect to live in.
And the paperwork is the wall’s second life: mix designs, cylinder reports, inspection records and the as-laid schedule, filed complete at closeout. The building’s next renovation team will know exactly what is in the wall — because we told them, not because they core-drilled to find out.
