Masonry & Structural Steel
Our Masonry & Structural Steel estimating services provide comprehensive quantity takeoffs for both masonry work and steel structures. We quantify CMU courses, brick veneer, structural steel tonnage, metal deck, and bar joists — giving you the data needed for accurate bids on any commercial or industrial project.
Key Highlights of Our Masonry & Structural Steel Services
CMU Takeoffs
Concrete masonry unit counts are broken down by size, course, and location, with bond beam, lintel, and grouted cell requirements included.
Brick Veneer Measurement
Brick veneer is measured in SF by facade zone with allowances for waste, coursing adjustments, and specialty brick at openings.
Structural Steel Tonnage
All structural steel members are quantified by weight in tons, including columns, beams, bracing, and connection plates from structural drawings.
Metal Deck Quantification
Metal floor and roof decking is measured in SF by deck type and gauge, with separate line items for cantilever zones and openings.
Bar Joist Scheduling
Steel bar joists are counted by type, span, and spacing, measured in LF and estimated by weight for accurate procurement.
Connection Plate Detailing
Shear plates, clip angles, and moment connections are itemized separately to support detailing and fabrication cost reviews.
RS Means Pricing Index
Material and labor costs are benchmarked using RS Means data, ensuring your estimate reflects current market pricing.
Structural Drawing Alignment
All takeoffs are reconciled against approved structural drawings for completeness and bid accuracy before delivery.
Our masonry and structural steel takeoffs provide the granular detail that estimators need to produce winning bids. From the first CMU course to the last steel connection, every quantity is measured with care and documented clearly.
