Our Story
How Our Masonry Estimators Help Staten Island Contractors Win More Bids
Staten Island is NYC's most suburban borough: detached and semi-detached homes, North Shore waterfront redevelopment, and post-Sandy elevations on the East Shore. Our masonry estimators work with masonry contractors, stone and brick subcontractors, and general contractors across Staten Island, pricing jobs tied to North Shore waterfront redevelopment, one- and two-family homes, and post-Sandy resiliency upgrades.
Coastal masonry around Staten Island needs stainless or hot-dip galvanized ties and anchors and good flashing to resist salt and moisture. We note material grades. Flood-zone foundations in Richmond County often use masonry with flood vents, which we count.
Code requirements change quantities, so our masonry estimators review every Staten Island drawing set against the NYC Construction Codes, paying attention to 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. The takeoff is built in Tradesmen's Software, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Staten Island 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 St. George and Tottenville. 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. Your first masonry estimate is 10% off.
