Do you calculate brick and CMU quantities for our projects?
Yes, our service includes detailed masonry takeoffs with brick counts, CMU block quantities and mortar calculations. Square footage requirements are calculated with deductions for window and door openings, so you get exact material lists. Corner blocks, lintel blocks, bond beams and specialty units are included so you can order all the materials you need.
Can you estimate different types of masonry work?
Absolutely. Our takeoffs cover new construction masonry, restoration work, tuckpointing and heritage repairs. Experience with brick veneer, stone veneer, structural CMU and architectural precast panels means each type gets different labor rates and material specifications in our estimates.
What about mortar calculations and testing requirements?
Exact mortar quantities are calculated based on joint thickness, block type and weather conditions. Mortar testing costs are included when required for heritage or structural work. Color matching requirements, pre-bagged vs site-mixed mortar and waste factors are all accounted for based on project conditions.
How do you handle labor rates for different masonry trades?
Labor rates in our estimates are separated for bricklayers, stonemasons and CMU specialists ranging from $50-$120 per hour in Canada. Skill level requirements, productivity rates per square foot and complexity factors are all considered. Heritage restoration and detailed stonework command premium rates which are included in specialized estimates.
Can you estimate scaffolding and safety requirements?
Yes, Building height analysis and access requirements help determine scaffolding costs, permits and engineering if needed. Fall protection equipment, site safety measures and WSIB compliance costs are included. Scaffold setup time and rental duration are calculated based on your project schedules.
Do you provide estimates for masonry restoration projects?
Restoration work is our specialty, including tuckpointing, stone replacement and heritage compliance projects. Detailed condition assessments, matching materials and specialized techniques require careful cost analysis. Mortar analysis, custom brick sourcing and heritage approval processes are all estimated.
How do you source and deliver materials?
Current prices from local brick suppliers, CMU manufacturers and stone suppliers across Canada are included in every estimate. Delivery costs, material storage requirements and regional price variations are factored in. Custom or specialty materials with longer lead times have separate cost considerations.
Why should masonry contractors use your estimating services?
Masonry estimating requires knowledge of material calculations, labor productivity rates and regional supplier pricing. Professional takeoff services let you focus on the build while getting competitive bids. From simple CMU walls to complex heritage restoration projects we can estimate it all.
