How ScopeTakeoff compares to other masonry estimating software

Most masonry estimators are still using Excel or generic construction estimating software that wasn’t built for masonry. Here’s how purpose-built masonry bidding software compares.

What masonry subs say about ScopeTakeoff

★★★★★

“The masonry assembly library is worth every penny. I used to count every block by hand off the plans. Now I enter the wall dimensions and get block count, mortar, grout, everything. Takes 18 minutes instead of 3 hours.”

“We do a lot of commercial CMU work for big box GCs. The SOV output is exactly what they want — no reformatting, no calls asking us to resubmit. Saves us an hour per bid easily.”

“The restoration assemblies are legit. Tuckpointing, repointing, crack repair — all in there with separate rates for high-access work. We’ve never had masonry estimating software that actually understood restoration scopes.”

Common questions about masonry estimating software

What is the best masonry estimating software for subcontractors?+
ScopeTakeoff is purpose-built masonry estimating software for subcontractors. It includes masonry-specific assembly libraries for CMU block, brick, stone veneer, and restoration work — with automatic mortar volume, grout fill, and unit count calculations. At $100 per person per month it’s a fraction of the cost of enterprise tools like STACK or Tradesman.
How does masonry takeoff software work?+
Masonry takeoff software measures wall areas from PDF plan drawings and calculates the number of masonry units, mortar volume, grout fill, and labor hours required. ScopeTakeoff lets you upload plan sheets, measure wall dimensions directly on the drawing, select your masonry assembly (CMU, brick, stone), and instantly get a fully priced masonry estimate. No counting blocks by hand, no transferring numbers between tools.
What masonry scopes does ScopeTakeoff cover?+
ScopeTakeoff covers all major masonry scopes: CMU block walls (4″–12″ in standard, lightweight, and grout-filled), brick veneer, full brick walls, stone veneer (natural and manufactured), interior masonry takeoff, masonry restoration and tuckpointing, bond beams, lintels, and pilasters. Each assembly automatically calculates unit count, mortar volume, grout, ties, and labor.
Does ScopeTakeoff work for masonry restoration contractors?+
Yes. ScopeTakeoff includes dedicated masonry restoration assemblies for repointing, tuckpointing, crack injection, and masonry cleaning — all priced separately from new construction work. Restoration labor rates account for high-access conditions and scaffolding, which are included automatically in the assembly cost.
How much does masonry estimating software cost?+
Most enterprise masonry estimating software costs $500–$700 per month. ScopeTakeoff is $100 per person per month — no annual lock-in, no implementation fees, and a 14-day free trial. For a solo estimator that’s $1,200/year vs. up to $8,400/year at competitors.
What’s the difference between masonry estimating and masonry takeoff software?+
Masonry takeoff software measures quantities from plan drawings — counting block units, measuring wall SF, calculating opening deducts. Masonry estimating software applies unit costs to those quantities to generate a priced bid. ScopeTakeoff does both: upload plans, measure wall dimensions, and those quantities flow directly into priced masonry assemblies to generate a complete SOV. One tool, no double-entry.
