Our Story
How Our Masonry Estimators Help Yonkers Contractors Win More Bids
Yonkers is Westchester's busiest residential construction market, with waterfront towers near the Metro-North station and renovation of older apartment buildings around Getty Square. We prepare masonry estimates for that full range of work, from historic building renovation to smaller jobs in Downtown and Getty Square and the Yonkers Waterfront.
High-rise masonry in Yonkers involves heavy scaffolding or mast-climber access and floor-line details, and our takeoffs capture both. The area's older brick buildings need repointing and repair, and our takeoffs measure them by elevation and type.
Our masonry estimators use Tradesmen's Software, PlanSwift, and Bluebeam Revu to build each Yonkers takeoff, and they read the drawings with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code in mind, including reinforcing, tie spacing, flashing, and fire-wall requirements. 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 Yonkers contractors professional masonry estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in nearby the Bronx and Mount Vernon. 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.
