How Do We Calculate Masonry Estimates?
Our systematic approach to preparing accurate and reliable masonry estimates is second to none. The process begins with reviewing the project’s drawings and specifications, including plan, elevation, and section views so that we define the scope of work and identify all masonry components required for the project.
Next, we measure material quantities by using advanced masonry takeoffs software such as Planswift and Bluebeam, using the point-and-click method. To apply labor, material, and equipment costs, we use RSMeans and zip code-based pricing databases. To address potential challenges, we include contingency funds for unforeseen conditions or changes in project scope and inflation or material price fluctuations.
In the end, we export the costs and quantities into organized Excel spreadsheets categorized by CSI MasterFormat codes. For the final review, our senior masonry estimator checks for compliance with construction standards, project specifications, and client requirements.
