I have been asked to make tiles to decorate a dentist's new building that was
cinder block construction, now covered over with Dri-vit which is a cement
type material on top of a foam insulation that covers the cinder blocks. Has
anyone had any experience adhering tiles to this surface?

Use a thin-set mortar made for freeze-thaw cycles.Dryvit is fake stucco.

Call the manufacturer. Talk to their inside technical people.
Also talk to the people who are "certified"(if that's the right word) to
apply the stuff.
Good luck & let us know what you find out.

Nancy,
Whatever you do, DO NOT! attach your tile to dry-vit. I would remove the
dry-vit to
expose the block wall. Then attach a backerboard to the block with
thinset and
concrete screws. You didn't say where you are located, which will have a
bearing
on whether you will be dealing with freeze/thaw. That will effect your
decisions
on claybody, setting and grout materials.
If you need more info, I would gladly respond to any more queries.
Regards,
Joe Dallas
