MASONRY ESTIMATING EXPERTISE
Eliminate Waste & Win More Bids With Detailed Masonry Takeoffs.
Accurate masonry bidding requires measuring hundreds of wall square feet, counting individual units, and accounting for wall ties, rebar, grout, and mortar mixes. A small error in wall height or bond beam counts can lead to missed profits or lost bids. Archixen provides fast, reliable, and line-by-line masonry quantity takeoffs directly from your architectural and structural plans.
Our experienced masonry estimators utilize industry-leading digital takeoff software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and TradeSpec) to measure every square foot of CMU block, face brick, stone veneer, and structural blockwork. We calculate exact unit counts, mortar bag counts, grout cubic yardage, horizontal joint reinforcement, lintels, and flashing details.
Delivered entirely online in organized, fully editable Excel spreadsheets with color-coded Bluebeam plan markups, our masonry takeoffs allow contractors to apply custom labor rates and material unit costs effortlessly. Win more masonry contracts with rock-solid numbers delivered right to your inbox.
