Remote Estimation delivers masonry estimating services in Manhattan, NY for masonry contractors, stone and brick subcontractors, and general contractors, with quantities measured from your drawings, priced in Excel, and backed by a 98% bid-hit ratio.
Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
We deliver accurate masonry quantity takeoffs directly from construction drawings to support precise material planning, cost estimation, and competitive bidding.

Here is what we measure on a typical Manhattan masonry job: joint reinforcement, wall ties and anchors, flashing and weeps, lintels and bond beams, control and expansion joints, glass block, scaffolding and access, concrete masonry units (CMU), brick veneer, and stone and cast stone veneer. Restoration is measured by elevation and repair type. Facade masonry is organized by floor, with shelf angles and flashing. Each masonry line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

In Manhattan, logistics are often the biggest cost: delivery windows, crane and hoist time, sidewalk sheds, and occupied-building work all need their own line items. That's the market we estimate for every day, building masonry takeoffs for projects from office-to-residential conversions to façade (FISP) and Local Law 97 work.
Manhattan's older brick buildings need repointing and repair, and our takeoffs measure them by elevation and type. Masonry on local towers is mostly veneer on steel or concrete frames, with shelf angles, ties, and flashing at each floor line.
Projects in Manhattan 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. Where the scope involves DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, or Local Law 97 compliance, those costs are flagged so they are not missed at bid time. 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 Manhattan masonry bid we touch. Labor assumptions for the masonry scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. Union crews and Comptroller prevailing wage rates shape most New York City budgets, so the labor basis matters as much as the quantities.

We price masonry work in every part of Manhattan, from Midtown, the Financial District, and Hudson Yards to Harlem, Chelsea, and the Upper West Side, plus Tribeca, the Upper East Side, and the Lower East Side. Because estimating is done remotely from your drawings, a job in the Upper West Side gets the same turnaround as one in Midtown. For rules that apply citywide, see our New York City page.
