The masonry bid crew.
The agents that carry a masonry set from measured takeoff to a priced, signed proposal.
From wall sections to priced masonry bid, one motion.
Send the masonry set
Floor plans, wall sections, elevations, the wall type schedule, and the Division 04 spec, straight from the invitation. Sheet and detail classification starts immediately.
Walls, units, and cells run
Net wall area measured by wall type and totaled in square feet, block and brick counted per unit with the coursing applied, and grout, mortar, and joint reinforcement taken off the grouted cells and bed joints.
Accessories and system priced
Units, mortar, grout, reinforcement, lintels, bond beams, control joints, flashing, weeps, ties, and cavity insulation priced on your own assemblies and history, with scaffolding and cleaning where the scope calls for it.
Your estimator signs
Review by confidence and coverage score, adjust the assumptions, and export into your own proposal format.
The masonry bid squeeze.
Coverage decides the year
Masonry subs bid more wall than a small estimating room can count by hand. Every set that sits unpriced is a job that goes to the sub who got a number out first.
The units hide the margin
Wall area is the easy part. The margin hides in the grouted cells, the bond beams, the control joints, the lintels, and the linear feet of flashing and joint reinforcement that are easy to miss on a fast manual takeoff.
Lump-sum leaves no room to be wrong
Most masonry goes out as a lump sum. A missed bond beam, the wrong grout factor, or a light waste number does not surface in a change order. It comes straight off the crew's margin.
AI masonry takeoff and estimating, explained.
The takeoff is the bid
Masonry estimators tell us the same thing: the number is only as good as the quantities behind it, and counting block, brick, and grouted cells by hand off a PDF takes hours. When wall area, unit counts, and the grout and reinforcement run as one measured pass on the real wall sections, the same room prices more sets and keeps senior judgment on the details, the assemblies, and the coursing, which is where a masonry bid is actually won or lost.
Built for how walls are measured
Single-wythe CMU, brick veneer, cavity wall, and structural masonry are different takeoffs, and the pipeline treats them that way. Net wall area is measured by wall type off the sections and elevations, units are counted per the coursing and unit size, grout is taken off the grouted and reinforced cells, mortar off the bed and head joints, and horizontal joint reinforcement, vertical rebar, lintels, bond beams, control and expansion joints, flashing, weeps, and ties are counted off the details and reconciled against the wall type schedule and the Division 04 spec. Openings are deducted so you are not paying to lay block through a window.
Priced on your book, signed by your estimator
The quantities are priced across nine stages on your own historical rates and assemblies for the systems you install, whether that is CMU, clay brick, stone veneer, or a cavity wall, with scaffolding, cleaning, and sealing carried where the scope calls for it. Every line is labeled measured, derived, or assumed with a confidence and coverage score, so a light spot in the set is visible in the review instead of buried in a lump sum. Nothing goes out until your estimator signs it, and it all runs inside your own tenant on Bluebeam, Procore, Autodesk, and Excel, live in about a week.

Frequently asked questions
What masonry estimators ask before trusting an AI takeoff on a real set.
How accurate is the masonry takeoff?
Can Ruh run AI agents for masonry estimating?
Does it actually read our wall sections and details?
Can it price on our own masonry rates?
Does it fit the software we already run?
Can it give a quick budget number and a full bid?
Run your next wall on Ruh.
Send one masonry set. We run the takeoff and walk you through the wall area, the unit counts, the grout and reinforcement, and the accessories on a 30 minute call. If it does not hold up against your estimator, you have lost nothing.
