Calculate block counts, brick quantities, and accessory materials in minutes. Tectonic reads structural plans and generates accurate masonry takeoffs automatically.
Manual takeoffs waste your time and cost you money. Sound familiar?
Converting wall square footage to block or brick counts requires accounting for unit sizes, bond patterns, and mortar joint thickness.
Standard, bond beam, lintel, half blocks - different unit types are required at different locations. Tracking them all is complex.
Vertical and horizontal rebar, grout-filled cells - reinforcing requirements vary by wall type and are easy to underestimate.
Mortar, sand, ties, anchors, flashing, lintels - accessory items add up and are often forgotten in estimates.
AI-powered takeoffs that work the way you think.
AI measures wall areas and converts to unit counts based on block or brick size and bond pattern. Handles openings and corners correctly.
Automatically identify where bond beam, lintel, and special units are required. Separate quantities by unit type for accurate ordering.
Calculate vertical and horizontal rebar, including lap lengths. Determine grout fill quantities based on reinforcing schedule.
Automatically calculate mortar, sand, ties, and other accessories based on wall quantities and specifications.
Everything you need to know about masonry estimating with Tectonic.
Tectonic measures wall areas, deducts openings, and converts to unit counts based on nominal unit size and mortar joint thickness. It handles standard bond patterns automatically.
Yes. Tectonic identifies bond beam courses and lintel locations from structural drawings, calculating special unit quantities separately from standard block.
Absolutely. Based on the reinforcing schedule and grouted cell requirements, Tectonic calculates grout quantities in cubic yards or bags.
Tectonic treats brick veneer and structural masonry differently. Veneer calculations include ties and air space considerations; structural includes reinforcing and grouting.
Yes. Based on wall heights and areas, you can calculate scaffolding requirements. Tectonic provides wall area data needed for scaffolding rental pricing.
