Technical Questions
The Masonry Society is a small professional society with few staff. We respond to most general inquiries within 2-3 business days but responses may take longer during meetings, conferences, and holidays.
TMS does not employees with technical expertise, but TMS Members often volunteer their time to help answer these types of questions. While we try to respond to every question, we are not always able to find someone who has relevant experience and is able to respond. While our members are typically able to respond in 4-5 days, please allow additional time for responses to technical questions.
