Masonry Takeoff Estimation
Our Estimation Process | Expanding Your Project's Vision
We start by reviewing all available documents, including drawings, specifications, and other materials, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the project.
Once the PDF designs are imported into our estimating software, we scale them to the specified drawing scale.
We determine the locations where masonry work will take place, which is crucial for accurate estimation. By comparing plans with sections and elevations, we better understand the scope and nature of the masonry work, such as brick walls, CMU block walls, and ornamental stones.
We use tools like linear measurement, area calculation, and counting commands to ascertain the exact quantity of materials needed for each type of brickwork. For example, we calculate the total area in square feet (SF) or cubic feet (CF) based on the number of brick courses, wall widths, lengths, and heights. We can measure the entire stone wall area or just the section requiring mortar finishing. Finally, we consolidate similar quantities from multiple drawings into a single line item for easier pricing.
We estimate labor man-hours based on the scope of work and construction activities, accounting for unforeseen factors such as downtime, overtime, and breaks. Additionally, we consider equipment costs and market prices for brick masonry and CMU blocks. Our takeoffs include often-overlooked details like mobilization expenses, licensing fees, bonds, insurance, material waste, site cleanup, repairs, and transportation costs.
You will receive a material takeoff sheet that lists all activities and the quantities required for the project. The provided spreadsheet allows for direct pricing of each line item.
Advanced Digital Tools Ensuring Accurate Masonry Takeoffs
Masonry estimates often involve numerous small details that can be easy to overlook but can lead to significant time and cost overruns once the project begins. Items such as fixtures, anchors, reinforcements, temporary stabilizers, transport costs, weatherproofing, fees, permits, and more all need careful attention. If you want to avoid the hassle of tracking down the costs for each of these components, we’re here to help.
