Why is Masonry Important?
Masonry is the oldest construction technique in human history. The art of Masonry began when early humans started creating artificial caves from stone piles to supplement their rare natural caves. Masonry, an ancient craft, involves constructing and fabricating structures using materials like stone, clay, brick, or concrete blocks. This includes work with both reinforced and unreinforced poured concrete. That’s why it’s the most essential construction element until today.
Masonry offers numerous benefits: it is non-combustible, enhances fire protection, is resistant to rot, pests, weather, and natural disasters, and provides a durable, aesthetically pleasing structure. Masonry units can handle significant compressive loads and increase a building’s thermal mass. This method also extends the building lifespan, improves resale value, and is cost-effective compared to wood in terms of labor and materials.
❖ Why Do You Need Manosry Cost Estimation?
Masonry cost estimation is necessary to create accurate budgets for construction projects. Accurate estimates ensure that the correct quantities of materials like bricks, blocks, and mortar are ordered, minimizing waste and preventing project delays. It helps in precise budgeting by detailing material, labor, and equipment costs, which is essential for financial planning and securing funding. Proper masonry estimation supports competitive bidding, allowing contractors to submit accurate and winning proposals. It also aids in scheduling, ensuring efficient resource allocation and timely project completion. Ultimately, detailed masonry estimation helps maintain cost control, reduces financial risks, and contributes to the overall success of construction projects.

Estimating Tips
Mortar & Masonry Accessories
The terms “mortar” and “grout” are often misused. Mortar beds are masonry units that seal air and moisture entry, provide architectural appearance, and accommodate unit size variations. Grout, on the other hand, is mainly used in reinforced masonry to bond masonry to reinforcing steel. CQP’s skilled estimators understand the distinct purposes and costs of each material.
Unit Masonry
Accurate masonry estimation involves understanding various cost-influencing factors such as building shape, type, mortar type, wall thickness, joint style, and workmanship quality. Standard unit masonry types are brick and concrete. Bricks are categorized into building brick, glazed brick, fire brick, and pavers. Both bricks and concrete blocks are priced per piece and then converted to a square meter cost.
Masonry walls need bracing, and costs are included in estimates until permanent bracing is done. Our estimators carefully consider wall anchoring accessories, brick bonds, patterns, and cleaning face bricks. They also consider the extra costs, which may include labor, material hoisting for high-rise buildings, and seismic requirements for concrete masonry walls.
The important considerations that affect masonry estimation beyond the basic materials and construction methods are:
- Accessories
- Anchoring
- Hoisting
- Seismic
