About Service
Masonry estimating services involve the detailed computation of expenses related to tools, labor, and materials required for masonry construction projects. This includes calculating the exact number of bricks, CMU blocks, stone units, mortar bags, grout volumes, reinforcement quantities, and all associated labor hours and equipment needs. Professional masonry estimators analyze structural and architectural drawings, elevations, and section views to determine accurate material quantities and project costs for Division 4 masonry trades. At Phoenix Estimations, our masonry estimating team uses industry-leading software including Planswift, Bluebeam, AccuBid, and AutoCAD to digitally take off every masonry component. We follow CSI codes for items mentioned in the drawings and deliver masonry takeoff reports in Excel spreadsheets organized by MasterFormat Division 4 or your customized format. Our detailed masonry estimates help contractors prepare competitive bids, avoid costly overruns, and maintain structural integrity on residential, commercial, and industrial projects.

Today, the construction industry is highly competitive and you are bidding on small profit margins. Only precise and detailed masonry estimates can give you an edge over your competition. Accuracy is the main challenge in preparing a masonry estimate on your own, making it complicated and time-consuming. For accurate masonry works estimates, detailed knowledge of masonry units, mortar, grout, reinforcements, man-hours, labor costs, transportation costs, and various other quantities is necessary.
Buying expensive software and hiring a full-time masonry estimator takes a lot out of your budget. Outsourcing your masonry estimating services to Phoenix Estimations saves time, gives you confidence in highly accurate estimates prepared by expert estimators, increases your bid volume, and improves your estimating efficiency which ultimately increases your profit margins. You no longer miss out on any opportunity.

The Problem
A masonry contractor in North Carolina was consistently losing bids due to inaccurate brick counts and underestimated mortar volumes on commercial projects. Their manual takeoff process consumed 35+ hours per bid, limiting their capacity to pursue multiple projects simultaneously. With a bid win rate below 20% and frequent material shortages on awarded jobs causing costly delays, the company needed a more efficient and accurate masonry estimating solution to stay competitive.
The Solution
The contractor partnered with Phoenix Estimations for their masonry estimating services. We provided detailed Division 4 takeoffs using Planswift and Bluebeam, covering brick counts, CMU quantities, mortar volumes, grout calculations, reinforcement schedules, and complete cost breakdowns with RSMeans pricing. Our team delivered residential masonry estimates within 24 hours and commercial projects within 3-5 business days with color-coded markups and Excel spreadsheets. The contractor could now submit bids on four times as many projects each month.
The Outcomes
Within 6 months of partnering with Phoenix Estimations, the contractor submitted bids on 40 projects and won 24 of them, achieving a 60% win rate compared to their previous 20%. Material waste dropped by over 80%, eliminating costly re-orders and project delays. Estimating overhead was reduced by 55% compared to their in-house process, and annual revenue increased by 50% in the first year. The contractor now uses our monthly masonry takeoff package for all their Division 4 estimating needs.
