What do we quantify in a masonry Estimates

A comprehensive masonry estimate carefully calculates all physical materials and project requirements to deliver accurate cost projections. For materials, we quantify every block, brick, or stone unit needed – including specific types like CMU (8″, 6″, 4″), face brick, or natural stone veneer. The estimate accounts for all binding materials including mortar quantities by type (N, S, M), grout volumes, and adhesives. Reinforcement needs like rebar, ladder wire, and seismic ties are precisely measured, along with flashing, lintels, and moisture barriers.

Brick/Block/Stone Quantities
Mortar (bags or volume, by mix type: N, S, M)
Grout (for CMU cells or stone joints)
Accessories (lintels, flashing, weep holes, anchors)
Glazed bricks/blocks
Flashing (copper, PVC, peel-and-stick)
Anchorage (helical ties, seismic brackets)

Scaffolding

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a masonry estimate?

A professional masonry estimate provides complete material and labor calculations, including exact quantities of bricks, blocks, or stone units along with mortar, grout, and reinforcement needs. We factor in labor time, crew costs, standard waste percentages (5-15%), and equipment requirements, delivering a detailed line-item cost breakdown that ensures competitive, accurate bids for your projects.

Why should contractors outsource masonry estimating?

Contractors save 30-50% compared to in-house estimating by outsourcing to specialists. Our services deliver masonry-specific expertise, faster turnaround (often 24-48 hours), reduced material waste through precise calculations, and ready-to-use bid documents - all without the overhead of software, training, or full-time estimators. This lets contractors focus on building while we handle the numbers.

What file formats do you accept for takeoffs?

We accept all standard construction file formats including PDF plans, DWG/Revit files, and blueprints. For simpler projects, dimensioned JPEG/PNG images or Excel quantity lists work perfectly. We can also directly work with PlanSwift and OnCenter files if you use these estimating platforms.

How accurate are your masonry estimates?

Our estimates maintain 98%+ accuracy through a dual-check quality control system. We apply ASTM-standard waste factors, source localized material/labor pricing data, and leverage our team's 30+ years of combined masonry experience. This precision helps contractors avoid costly overruns and material shortages.

What masonry types do you estimate?

We cover all common masonry systems including various brick types (face brick, thin brick, pavers), CMU (both load-bearing and partitions), natural stone (veneer and full-depth), stucco (traditional and EIFS systems), and specialized structural/seismic masonry construction.

Do you provide revisions if plans change?

Absolutely. We include 1 free revision with every estimate and offer rush update options for urgent changes. Our version-controlled documentation tracks all modifications, making change-order management seamless throughout your project's lifecycle.
