Masonry Takeoff Estimation

Our Masonry Estimation Process | How do our Estimators Broaden a Project’s Vision?

Are you curious about the process we use at Archixen to produce masonry takeoffs for cost estimation? Here are the steps we take:

Project Synopsis

By reviewing all accessible documents, including drawings, specifications, and other materials, we’ll begin to get a comprehensive picture of the project as a whole.

Scaling

As soon as the PDF designs are loaded into the estimating program, they are scaled to the specified drawing scale.

Masonry Work Site Identification

The placement of the areas where masonry work will be done must be determined. It is the most crucial phase and requires careful consideration. We compare plans with sections and elevations to comprehend better the nature and scope of different masonry works (brick walls, CMU block walls, ornamental stones, etc.)

Check for the Material Requirements

To determine the precise number of materials needed for each form of brickwork, we utilize the linear tool, area tool, and count command. For instance, the total quantity in SF or CF is calculated using the number of brick courses, wall widths, coarse lengths and heights, the number of blocks, and other relevant factors. You may either measure the whole area of the stone wall or the portion of the wall that needs mortar finishing. Finally, we group comparable amounts from several drawings into a single line item for straightforward pricing.

Cost Estimation Process

Based on the extent of the job and the construction activities, we may calculate the labor man-hours. Additionally, other unforeseen factors, such as downtime, overtime, and break periods, are also taken into account. For the compilation of the cost estimate, we take into consideration the expenses of the machinery and the market pricing for brick masonry, CMU blocks, etc.

Takeoffs for masonry and brickwork sometimes ignore several minor details. We take into account mobilization expenses, licensing charges, bonds, and insurance, material waste and breakage, site cleanup, site repairs, and any transportation costs and fees related to the project.

Delivery Estimate for Masonry

Finally, you receive the material takeoff sheet, which lists every activity and the amounts of each item needed for the project. Direct pricing of the line items may be done using the provided spreadsheet.

Digitized Estimation Tools for Promised Masonry Takeoff Accuracy

A lot of small elements in masonry estimates are simple to miss, but once the job begins, they might cost you a lot of time and money. Masonry fixtures, anchors, reinforcements, interim stabilizing apparatus, transportation expenses, weatherproofing, fees, permits, building applications, and many more. We may thus assist you with that if you don’t want to spend so much time locating the prices of each pertinent item.
