Tips on Estimating Clay Unit Masonry Costs from RSMeans
Many varieties of texture and appearance can exist for both brick and concrete masonry, and the estimator would be wise to check local custom and availability within the project area. For repair and remodeling jobs, matching the existing brick may be the most important criteria. When estimating quantities for masonry walls, openings less than two square feet are generally ignored by the estimator because any savings in units used is offset by the cutting and trimming required. |
