| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of excessively porous mortar between
concrete blocks, which could lead to an inadequate resistance to water, which
could lead to the ingress of surface or rainwater, which could lead to deterioration,
which could lead to compromised integrity of elements supported or protected
by foundations, which could lead to damage to the building. |
