Masonry Estimating Services in the USA
A masonry bid needs more than a wall area total. You need quantities you can trace to the drawings, a clear record of what is included and an allowance for the work your crew will actually perform. Devine Estimation helps masonry contractors, general contractors and builders prepare takeoffs and cost estimates for projects across the United States.
Send the drawings, specifications, project location and bid deadline. We will review the package and confirm the fee, scope and delivery date before starting.
Brick, block and stone takeoffs
Tell us which assemblies belong in your bid. We can prepare a standalone masonry package or include masonry within a wider construction estimate. Depending on the drawings and agreed scope, your takeoff can cover:
- Brick veneer, facing brick and associated wall areas
- Concrete masonry units, including specified sizes and wall types
- Stone veneer and other specified masonry finishes
- Mortar, grout and reinforcing items shown in the documents
- Anchors, ties, flashing and accessories within your masonry scope
- Openings, returns, piers and other details that affect quantities
We identify scope gaps and document assumptions rather than quietly treating missing information as a confirmed requirement.
What your estimate includes
Your agreed deliverables can include an Excel quantity takeoff, a PDF estimate and marked drawings for checking the measured scope. Where pricing is requested, material and labor items are presented in an organized breakdown, with the relevant assumptions and exclusions.
Have your own bid sheet or cost codes? Send the template with your plans so we can confirm the required format. Supplier quotations, crew production rates and subcontractor prices that you provide can also inform the estimate. Tell us whether equipment, waste allowances, overhead and profit should be included or shown separately.
Pricing for your project location
A bid for a small residential addition and a bid for a commercial blockwork package need different levels of detail. We review the project location, drawing completeness, quantities and required pricing basis before quoting our estimating fee.
If you have current supplier or labor rates, share them with the project documents. The estimate should support your purchasing and bidding decisions, with enough detail for you to review and adjust the figures before submission.
From drawings to a reviewed bid
- Send your project package. Include architectural and relevant structural drawings, specifications, addenda, location and deadline.
- Confirm the scope. We agree the trades, deliverables, estimating fee and turnaround.
- Prepare the takeoff and estimate. Your estimator measures the agreed work and records assumptions and exclusions.
- Review the output. Check the quantities and pricing against your bid requirements and tell us about any changes.
If revised drawings arrive during the estimate, send the revision date and affected sheets so we can confirm their impact on the fee and delivery.
Questions about your masonry estimate
Can I request quantities without pricing?
Yes. Ask for a masonry takeoff only, or request a priced estimate with the quantities.
Do you work with incomplete plans?
Send the available documents for review. We will explain what can be measured and what would require an allowance or further information.
Can you meet an urgent bid deadline?
Include the deadline and time zone when you contact us. We will confirm availability and the delivery commitment after reviewing the scope.
Can you use my spreadsheet format?
Yes. Include your template with the drawings so the required columns and breakdown can be agreed before work starts.
