Process
The same five-stage process behind every masonry cost estimate we deliver, sized to project scale.
COURSE 01
We review architectural and structural drawings, masonry plans, and wall elevations, flagging unclear openings or reinforcement details before takeoff begins.
COURSE 02
Masonry wall takeoff with masonry area calculation and masonry unit count, net of masonry opening deductions for doors, windows, and penetrations.
COURSE 03
Mortar and grout calculation, masonry reinforcement estimate, rebar takeoff for masonry, bond beams, and masonry wastage calculation applied per wall type.
COURSE 04
Brickwork cost estimate and blockwork cost estimate built alongside masonry labor cost estimate, scaffolding cost estimate, and masonry equipment cost estimate.
COURSE 05
A second estimator checks quantities against marked-up masonry drawings before you receive a bid-ready masonry estimate summary with scope inclusions and exclusions.
Project types
Wall assemblies and cost drivers shift by building type - our takeoffs account for that from the first pass.
What's included
No stripped-down lump sum - you get the backup that lets you defend the number.
Brick, block, and stone unit counts, priced by material and course.

Fast-turnaround masonry estimates without shortening the takeoff - most jobs move in 24–72 hours.
Brick, block, CMU, and stone masonry estimating handled together, so mixed-material walls don't get split across vendors.

Every masonry quantity takeoff is checked against marked-up plans before it reaches your desk.
Outsource masonry estimating for one project or your entire pipeline during peak bid season.
Every estimate states procurement planning notes and assumptions and exclusions up front - no surprises at award.
