Rochester's downtown office-to-residential conversions, URMC expansion, and Eastman Business Park reuse all involve working with older structures in a heavy-snow climate. Whether you're bidding Eastman Business Park or downtown adaptive reuse, our masonry estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Rochester's older brick buildings need repointing and repair, and our takeoffs measure them by elevation and type. Cold-weather masonry in the area requires enclosures and heat, which we note separately.
Each takeoff is built in Tradesmen's Software, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu from your current plan set and checked against the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, including reinforcing, tie spacing, flashing, and fire-wall requirements. Masonry quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Rochester contractors actually bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Rochester masonry bid we touch. 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. Request a quote today, and your first estimate comes with 10% off.
