Our Estimation Workflow

Our masonry estimation process begins with a thorough review of the client’s project plans and specifications, focusing on plan, elevation, and section views to clearly define the scope of work. We utilize advanced masonry takeoff software, such as Planswift and Bluebeam, to measure quantities with precision through a point-and-click method. The data is then imported into well-organized EXCEL spreadsheets following CSI MasterFormat codes.

We account for a wide range of masonry materials, including CMU blocks, bricks, mortar, grout, reinforcements, and other critical components like flashing and insulation. Our estimation includes detailed breakdowns for openings (doors, windows), material wastages, labor, equipment costs, and contingency funds. Each estimate undergoes a final audit by a senior estimator to ensure accuracy and quality.
