Masonry Estimating & Takeoff Service For Construction

Masonry works like brick masonry, concrete block, stone or rubble masonry are usually estimated with volume, but in some cases these are computed with regard to area where the thickness of masonry is confined to single brick or single block. Tiling is estimated in area.

To estimate the quantities of masonry work, the wastage of materials like bricks, cement or sand as well as the types and classes of bricks, blocks or tiles are not considered. All types of masonry works are calculated individually into categories to estimate the perfect cost of construction on the basis of its price.

Measurement of Masonry Works

Masonry works are such as brick masonry, concrete block, stone, or rubble masonry are generally measured in volume, but are also measured in terms of area where the thickness of masonry is limited to single brick or a single block. Tiling is measured in the area. While measuring the quantities of masonry work, the wastage of materials such as bricks, cement, or sand is not taken into account. Also, the types and classes of bricks, blocks, or tiles are not considered while measuring the quantity of work. This is taken care of in the pricing of the different masonry works. Each type of masonry work is measured separately into categories to calculate the exact cost of construction based on its price.

Measurement of Brick Masonry

For measurement of brick masonry, general rules specified above are used along with following points:

Brick masonry is measured in volume for thickness more than single bricks. For masonry with single bricks, it is measured in square meters.
Facing bricks are measured separately.
Different types or class of brick masonry are measured separately.

Measurement of Concrete Masonry

Concrete block masonry are measured as general rules described above along with following points:

Different types of concrete block masonry such as type and size of concrete blocks are measured separately.
Special units required at corners, jambs, heads, sills, and other similar locations are measured separately.
Measure concrete to core fills and bond beams in cubic feet or cubic meters, stating the strength and type of concrete to be used. These are measured separately for different types of concrete block based on strength.
Measure in linear feet or meters reinforcing steel to core fills and bond beams, stating the size and type of rebar to be used.
