Welcome to the Masonry Association of Florida
![]() The Masonry Association of Florida (MAF) is a non-profit trade organization that represents the masonry industry, specifically contractors in the state of Florida. One of our key initiatives is to provide education and resources to the masonry industry and public, including architects, engineers, contractors, building officials and building owners, to educate them on the benefits of building with masonry and to help them build safe and durable masonry structures in high-wind and hurricane-prone areas.
The Masonry Association of Florida is committed to promoting the use of masonry as a safe and durable building material in Florida. Through its free resources, the organization aims to educate the design and construction community on best practices for masonry construction, and to provide the tools necessary to ensure that masonry structures can withstand the severe weather conditions that are common in the state. |
