Our Story
Masonry Takeoff & Estimating Built for Brooklyn Contractors
Brooklyn ranges from 40-story Downtown towers to 120-year-old brownstones, and Gowanus and the waterfront add flood-resistant construction and environmental cleanup to the scope. Whether you're bidding Gowanus rezoning projects or brownstone gut renovations, our masonry estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Masonry restoration is a large market in Brooklyn: repointing, brick replacement, lintel repair, and facade work. We quantify restoration by elevation. Coastal masonry in the area needs stainless or hot-dip galvanized ties and anchors and good flashing to resist salt and moisture.
Projects in Brooklyn are permitted under the NYC Construction Codes, so we follow the code-driven notes on your drawings (reinforcing, tie spacing, flashing, and fire-wall requirements) and carry them into the takeoff. New York City costs such as DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, hoisting, and Local Law 97 upgrades are called out separately when they apply. Our team uses Tradesmen's Software, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu to measure and organize every masonry quantity.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Brooklyn masonry bid we touch. We can price masonry labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. Union crews and Comptroller prevailing wage rates shape most New York City budgets, so the labor basis matters as much as the quantities.
