Wall by wall

Masonry is priced by assembly.

Wall type, height, reinforcement and scaffolding change cost more than the unit count suggests.

  • Grout, reinforcing and lintels
  • Insulation, flashing, weeps and control joints
  • Scaffolding and material hoisting
  • Cleaning, sealers and mockups
  • Openings deducted by schedule

FAQ

Good questions.

Who uses this service?

Masonry contractors, general contractors pricing envelopes and owners comparing wall systems.

Do you include structural steel lintels?

Steel lintels are often supplied under structural steel. We state who supplies and who sets them in each estimate.

Can I get quantities only?

Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.

What should I send?

Architectural elevations and sections, wall types, structural details, the Division 04 specifications and addenda.
