AI-Powered Takeoff and Estimating Tools for Masonry and Stone Contractors
Are your masonry bids stacking up slower than your walls?
Products for Every Step of Your Workflow
Masonry and stone bids rely on precise quantities across every elevation. Missed items cost you. Our AI-powered tools help you measure each wall type accurately, capture every material, and build faster, more reliable bids so you can focus on winning profitable work.
On-Screen Takeoff®
- Finish faster with AI by using Takeoff Boost with OST to cut up to 95% of takeoff time, which lets you bid more masonry projects and spend more hours on pricing strategy and risk review.
- Calculate total quantities of brick, CMU, architectural stone, lintels, and more directly from digital plans, instead of marking up paper sets.
- Handle tricky shapes and conditions with ease, since offsets, cutouts, and unusual walls are calculated automatically while your plans are visually highlighted to show exactly what has been taken off.
Quick Bid®
- Turn takeoffs into accurate estimates by letting quantities flow directly from On-Screen Takeoff into Quick Bid, so you do not have to reenter numbers in spreadsheets.
- Quickly calculate every detail for material and labor you need to estimate and bid.
- Reduce data entry errors and miscommunications by automating the functions that cause costly mistakes on complex multi-layer masonry and stone bids
Digital Production Control®
- Track labor efficiency and the percentage complete of masonry and stone work so you can immediately see when production falls below plan and take corrective action.
- Narrow the gap between how many square feet you think your crews can install in a day and what they are capable of in the field by comparing actual performance to your estimate.
- Use completed project data to sharpen labor assumptions, improve scheduling, and protect margins on future bids.
How Masonry and Stone Contractors Are Using AI-Powered Takeoffs to Build Better Bids, Faster
Takeoff Boost has unique tools designed for masonry and stone contractors, which cuts takeoff time by up to 95%. See how AI-powered tools can eliminate time-consuming tasks by automating measurements, so masonry and stone professionals can focus on pricing, strategy, and winning more bids.
Net Areas
Automatically segments each room and calculates net area along the inside edge of exterior and interior walls.
Footprint Areas
Detects and measures building footprint along the outside edge of exterior walls.
Ceiling Areas
Finds ceiling areas and splits them into gypsum board (GWB) and acoustical ceiling tile (ACT) or by ceiling type when specified.
Wall Linear Footage
Calculates total wall linear footage for standard walls on architectural floorplans.
Walls by Type
Breaks wall linears out by partition type when those types are labeled on the plan (e.g., different stud/gypsum assemblies).
Wall Surface Area
Generates painting linears for both sides of interior walls, giving painters a fast baseline for surface area quantities.
Existing Wall Detection
Identifies existing walls so you can exclude them from new work and avoid over-counting when bidding remodels, build-outs, or partial renovations.
Windows and Window Types
Finds windows and can classify them by window type based on plan tags and symbols.
Doors and Double Doors
Detects and counts doors and double doors, including location on the plan.
Plumbing and Building Fixtures
Counts toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and other fixtures so trade contractors can skip manual symbol counting.
Right-Click Reassignment
Quickly reassign results to your own Conditions with a right click, so quantities flow into the naming, phasing, and assemblies you already use. Learn more.
Delete Results
Delete unneeded takeoff results without losing the Conditions themselves, keeping your structure clean while you refine results. Learn more.
Edit & Move Conditions
Rename, recolor, move, and group Conditions so results fit your naming and organization standards. Learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Masonry estimating software helps contractors move from manual takeoff and spreadsheets to a digital workflow where quantities and costs for masonry and stone projects are calculated directly from plans. With tools like On-Screen Takeoff and Quick Bid, you can measure areas and lengths, count materials, and build accurate bids that reflect real masonry scope and production rates.
On-Screen Takeoff calculates total quantities of brick, CMU, architectural stone, lintels, and related materials, while giving you a visual highlight of exactly what has been taken off so you can see what is covered at a glance. You can also handle tricky shapes and offsets more easily since unusual walls, cutouts, and openings are calculated automatically from your digital plans.
On-Screen Takeoff captures your masonry quantities and sends them directly into Quick Bid, where you assemble priced estimates, apply your material database, and handle last-minute revisions automatically. No re-entering numbers, no version confusion.
Digital Production Control connects your estimate to the job site, tracking labor production and completed work in real time. It also maintains a clear project record, useful if disputes arise over schedule or scope, and generates the production history you need to bid future masonry and stone work more accurately.
Yes, AI-powered takeoff with Takeoff Boost is particularly valuable for masonry because it automates much of the counting and measuring that has traditionally been slow and labor intensive, then hands you a draft takeoff to review instead of forcing you to start from scratch. Masonry contractors that adopt digital takeoff and estimating tools report bidding more jobs, reducing costly errors, and increasing profitability compared to staying with manual methods.
