New York City projects carry costs that don't exist elsewhere, including hoisting, sidewalk sheds, DOB filings, union labor rates, and Local Law 97 compliance, so national averages don't work for pricing here. For masonry contractors, stone and brick subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate masonry quantities on high-rise residential and office-to-residential conversions and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Masonry restoration is a large market in New York City: repointing, brick replacement, lintel repair, and facade work. We quantify restoration by elevation. Masonry on local towers is mostly veneer on steel or concrete frames, with shelf angles, ties, and flashing at each floor line.
Each takeoff is built in Tradesmen's Software, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu from your current plan set and checked against the NYC Construction Codes, including reinforcing, tie spacing, flashing, and fire-wall requirements. 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. Masonry quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how New York City contractors actually bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every New York City 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. Email your plan set to info@remoteestimation.us for a fixed masonry quote.
Our New York City masonry estimators work across all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Citywide rules (the NYC Construction Codes, DOB NOW filings, Local Law 97, and union labor) apply everywhere, and each borough adds its own building stock, from Manhattan towers to Staten Island one- and two-family homes. For borough-specific detail, see our Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island pages.
