Answer First
What Are Masonry Estimating Services?
Brick veneer is a hallmark of North Carolina construction, from traditional homes in Charlotte and Raleigh to commercial buildings and schools across the state. Masonry costs depend heavily on unit type, bond pattern, wall height and detailing. Our masonry estimators count units by type, deduct openings and add lintels, flashing and control joints so nothing is missed.
We also estimate structural CMU for commercial and industrial buildings, including grout, vertical and horizontal reinforcing and bond beams. Masonry pairs closely with Concrete Estimating Services and Doors and Windows Estimating Services.
