What to Include in a Masonry Estimate
Masonry is one of the most skilled construction trades — your estimate should reflect the craftsmanship involved. A few things that separate professional bids from amateur ones:
- Price brick and block per unit, not per pallet. A standard brick wall uses roughly 7 bricks per square foot — clients can check your math, which builds trust. Include 5-10% overage for cuts and breakage.
- Mortar and sand are consumables that add real cost. A mason uses roughly one bag of mortar per 40-50 blocks or 125 bricks. Show these as separate line items.
- Labor is the biggest cost in masonry — a skilled mason lays 300-500 bricks or 100-150 blocks per day. Be honest about production rates in your pricing rather than over-promising.
- Include scaffolding as its own line item for any work above 4-5 feet. Scaffolding rental runs $100-200/day and is essential for safety and productivity.
- Lintels, flashing, and wall ties are small items that are easy to forget. They're code-required above openings and at floor lines — include them or you'll absorb the cost.
- Add a delivery fee. Brick and block are heavy — a pallet of brick weighs 2,000+ lbs. Material delivery is a real cost, especially for tight job sites that need boom truck access.

Common Questions
How do I estimate masonry costs?+
Calculate the wall area in square feet, then convert to brick or block count (7 bricks/sq ft or 1.125 blocks/sq ft). Add mortar, sand, rebar, lintels, and ties. Estimate mason labor days based on production rates — a skilled mason lays 300-500 bricks/day. Include scaffolding, delivery, and cleanup. Most brick work runs $15-30/sq ft installed.
What markup should I charge for masonry work?+
Masonry contractors typically mark up 30-50% over direct costs. The skilled labor involved justifies higher margins than many other trades. Custom stonework and restoration work command the highest markups (40-60%) while straightforward CMU block work carries lower margins (25-35%).
What should a masonry estimate include?+
A professional masonry estimate should include brick or block count, mortar, sand, rebar, lintels, wall ties, flashing, sealant, labor for laying and pointing, scaffolding, equipment rental, material delivery, and cleanup. Specify the brick or stone product and pattern (running bond, stack bond, etc.).
How do I write a professional masonry estimate?+
Organize by wall section or project area. List materials with unit counts and per-unit prices. Show labor as mason-days with daily rates. Include scaffolding, delivery, and cleanup as separate lines. Specify the brick pattern and joint profile. Use DocJoist to generate a clean PDF that reflects the quality of your work.
