As the capital, Albany's work is led by state-agency projects, Albany NanoTech semiconductor research, and medical and university campuses, much of it publicly bid with prevailing wages. Whether you're bidding Albany NanoTech and semiconductor research or Albany Medical Center expansion, our masonry estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Masonry restoration is a large market in Albany: repointing, brick replacement, lintel repair, and facade work. We quantify restoration by elevation. The area's winters affect masonry through cold-weather protection, heated enclosures, and freeze-thaw-rated materials.
Our masonry estimators use Tradesmen's Software, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu to build each Albany takeoff, and they read the drawings with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code in mind, including reinforcing, tie spacing, flashing, and fire-wall requirements. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every masonry number can be checked.
Hiring an in-house masonry estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Albany with fast, itemized masonry estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve nearby Colonie and Guilderland as well. Labor assumptions for the masonry scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. New York's prevailing wage schedules apply to public work statewide, and certain privately built projects with significant public funding now follow them as well. Get a fixed quote for your next Albany bid within about an hour.
