What Is Masonry Estimating
Masonry estimating is the process of measuring and pricing every block, brick and stone wall on a project. It covers CMU walls, bond beams, lintels, grout, rebar, joint reinforcing, veneers and the labor to lay them.
Masonry numbers change with wall height, grout spacing and reinforcing. A fully grouted wall with bars at 16 inches needs far more grout and labor than a wall grouted at 48 inches. We take each wall type from the structural plans in PlanSwift and Bluebeam and list block, grout, bars and joint reinforcing separately, so your bid matches the drawings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a masonry estimate cost?
The price depends on the size of the project and the scope you need. Send your plans and we reply with a fixed quote, usually the same day.
How long does a masonry estimate take?
Most masonry estimates are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Large projects can take a little longer and we tell you upfront.
What do I need to send?
Send the structural plans, wall sections, masonry notes and elevations. PDF drawings are fine.
Can you include concrete with the masonry?
Yes. We can estimate footings, slabs and masonry together from the same drawings, or price the masonry on its own.
Do you calculate grout and rebar?
Yes. Grout is calculated by wall type and grout spacing, and rebar and joint reinforcing are listed by size and spacing.
Which software do you use?
We use PlanSwift and Bluebeam for takeoffs and RSMeans data for pricing.
Are revisions free?
Yes. If the drawings change or you need an alternate, we update the estimate at no extra cost.
