Our Workflow for Masonry Takeoff!

Step#1

Our cost-estimating experts begin by reviewing all accessible documentation drawings and specs to get a comprehensive picture of the project.

Step#2

The PDF drawings are then imported into the software and scaled to the specified drawing scale. Identifying masonry works is crucial since it involves pinpointing the precise spots that will be the focus of the masonry work. Masonry works such as brick walls, CMU block walls, and decorative stones are best understood when compared to plans, sections, and elevations.

Step#3

To get an accurate material count for each masonry type, we utilize the linear tool, the area tool, and the count command. Measurements like brick course count, wall width, coarse length, and block count are counted. The total wall area or the area of the wall that needs a mortar finish may also be calculated. Then, to facilitate pricing, we group equivalent amounts from several designs into a single line item.

Step#4

In the end, our estimators re-check the estimates from our seniors to refine them and create the most realistic masonry estimates. Our clients get better profit margins, and they tend to bid higher and win higher.
