Long Island City added more housing towers than almost any other New York neighborhood, while Dutch Kills and the waterfront keep converting industrial lots into studios, labs, and offices. Whether you're bidding film studio and life-sciences buildings or industrial-to-office conversions, our masonry estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
High-rise masonry in Long Island City involves heavy scaffolding or mast-climber access and floor-line details, and our takeoffs capture both. Coastal masonry in the area needs stainless or hot-dip galvanized ties and anchors and good flashing to resist salt and moisture.
Our masonry estimators use Tradesmen's Software, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu to build each Long Island City takeoff, and they read the drawings with the NYC Construction Codes in mind, including reinforcing, tie spacing, flashing, and fire-wall requirements. We also flag New York City-specific costs, including DOB NOW filing requirements, sidewalk sheds, and Local Law 97 energy upgrades where they appear in the scope. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every masonry number can be checked.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Long Island City contractors professional masonry estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in neighborhoods such as Hunters Point and Court Square. We can price masonry labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. City-funded work in the five boroughs is priced at the NYC Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and much private work here is built with union crews.
