BUILT FOR MASONRY ESTIMATORS

Everything you need to build a better masonry bid.

PlanSwift gives you the tools to turn masonry quantities into a clear, reviewable estimate.

AI-Assisted Takeoff

Get an AI-powered first pass on repetitive plan work. Then review the takeoff before it affects material or labor pricing.

Assembly-Based Estimating

Turn each wall type into the block, brick, mortar, and labor behind the bid.

Custom Formulas

Change waste, labor rates, or material prices by wall type and keep the estimate current.

Reusable Templates

Save the wall types and assemblies your team uses most, so the next estimate starts with your standards.

Plan Comparison

See what changed across elevations and details before old quantities make it into the bid.

Live Excel Integration

Move organized quantities into the Excel pricing sheets your team already uses, so updates stay connected as the estimate changes.

Auto Count

Pick one symbol; PlanSwift finds and counts every match across up to 10 pages at once.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is masonry takeoff and estimating software?

Masonry takeoff and estimating software helps contractors measure masonry work from digital construction plans and turn those quantities into a priced bid. PlanSwift combines takeoff and estimating in one platform, so masonry contractors can measure areas, lengths, segments, and counts. They can connect those quantities to assemblies and formulas for material, labor, waste, and cost calculations. Takeoff BOOST is a suite of AI tools built into PlanSwift that can help speed up supported first-pass takeoff work. Estimators review and adjust the quantities before finalizing the bid.

Does PlanSwift support brick, block, and stone estimating?

Yes. PlanSwift supports masonry estimating workflows for brick, block, and stone. The PlanSwift Masonry Starter Pack includes prebuilt templates, parts, and assemblies for these materials. Masonry contractors can customize and reuse those setups to match their wall types, materials, labor, waste, and pricing standards.

Can PlanSwift handle masonry wall types, openings, and job-specific details?

Yes. PlanSwift lets masonry estimators organize takeoff items and estimating logic around the way they price work. You can configure assemblies and formulas for different wall types, brick or block work, openings, lintels, grout, wall ties, flashing, reinforcement, and other required materials. The exact setup depends on the plans and your estimating standards. Your estimator reviews deductions, wall heights, bonds, reinforcement, accessories, unusual shapes, and other details before approving the estimate.

What does Takeoff BOOST do for masonry takeoffs in PlanSwift?

Takeoff BOOST is a suite of AI tools built into PlanSwift:

Auto Takeoff creates a preliminary page takeoff with supported area, linear, and count measurements.

Auto Count finds matching symbols or objects across selected pages after you choose what to count.

Auto Scale detects and applies page scale across selected pages.

Auto Bookmark helps create bookmarks and links to related plan pages, details, and sections.

Together, these tools can reduce repetitive measuring, counting, scale setup, and plan navigation. Masonry estimators can review and refine the AI-assisted first pass in PlanSwift before connecting quantities to masonry assemblies and formulas. The results are a starting point, not a finished bid.

How do masonry contractors build and update estimates in PlanSwift?

PlanSwift lets masonry contractors connect measured quantities to custom assemblies and formulas for material, labor, waste, and cost calculations. Your team can use the Masonry Starter Pack as a starting point, adjust the setup for each project, and save the wall types and assemblies you use most often. As plans, quantities, prices, or project assumptions change, you can update the takeoff or estimating setup and review revised costs in the same project. PlanSwift also supports printing and exporting estimates, including Excel reports.
