Masonry Estimating

Masonry Estimating & Takeoff

Masonry estimating involves the process of calculating the costs associated with a masonry construction project. This type of estimation is crucial for budgeting, bidding, and project management. Here are the key steps and considerations in masonry estimating.

Key Points of our success

  • Obtain detailed construction plans and specifications for the masonry work.
  • Understand the scope of the project, including the type of masonry work needed (brick, block, stone), dimensions, and architectural features.
  • Measure and quantify the amount of materials needed, such as bricks, blocks, mortar, reinforcing materials, and accessories.
  • Consider variations in materials based on the design, including different types of bricks or stones.
  • Estimate the labor hours required for each aspect of the masonry work.
  • Consider the skill level required for the job and the prevailing wage rates for masonry labor in the area.
  • Account for the cost of equipment needed for the project, such as scaffolding, mixers, saws, and other tools.
  • Factor in equipment maintenance and depreciation costs.
  • Research and obtain current prices for masonry materials from suppliers.
  • Consider the cost of delivery and storage of materials on-site.
  • Include overhead costs, such as office expenses, insurance, and administrative costs.
  • Add a profit margin to cover the company’s desired return on investment.
  • Include a contingency amount to account for unforeseen circumstances, such as changes in design, weather delays, or unexpected site conditions.
  • Prepare a detailed and accurate bid or proposal for the masonry project.
  • Ensure that the bid covers all aspects of the project and complies with the requirements outlined in the construction plans and specifications.
  • Utilize estimating software or construction management tools to streamline the estimation process and improve accuracy.
  • Consider using Building Information Modeling (BIM) for a more detailed and collaborative approach to estimating.
  • Review the estimate to ensure accuracy and completeness.
  • Seek feedback from experienced estimators or colleagues to refine the estimate.
  • Submit the bid or proposal to the client within the specified timeframe.
  • Be prepared to answer any questions or provide additional information during the bid review process.
