What is masonry estimating software?
Masonry takeoff software helps masonry contractors calculate block and brick counts, mortar quantities, wall areas, and reinforcement requirements from construction plans. Estimators use it to quantify CMU walls, brick veneer, stone cladding, and structural masonry on commercial, institutional, and residential projects. The software converts wall elevations and floor plans into material counts — factoring in bond patterns, opening deductions, control joints, and lintels. For masonry contractors, where material costs represent 40-60% of the bid, accurate quantity takeoffs directly impact profitability.
AI-powered masonry takeoff software like Exayard accelerates estimation by reading wall dimensions, identifying openings, and calculating block counts automatically. Instead of manually measuring each wall segment and looking up block coursing tables, the AI processes entire floor plans in seconds. It deducts for doors, windows, and other openings, then adds back lintels, bond beams, and jamb blocks. For projects with multiple wall types — CMU backup, brick veneer, split-face block — Exayard keeps each system separate with its own material quantities, reducing errors on complex bids.
Why masonry contractors choose AI estimating

Block and brick counts
Calculates unit counts by size and type with automatic coursing and opening deductions.
Mortar quantity calculation
Estimates mortar volume based on wall area, joint size, and bond pattern.
Wall area measurement
Measures gross and net wall areas with window, door, and penetration deductions.
Bond beam tracking
Identifies bond beam courses and calculates lineal feet of rebar and grout fill.
Multi-wall-type separation
Keeps CMU, brick veneer, and stone quantities separate within one takeoff.
Scaffold area estimation
Calculates exterior wall face area to help estimate scaffolding requirements.
