Bricklayer Estimating Services for UK Bricklaying Contractors

Our bricklayer estimating services help bricklaying contractors, brickwork gangs and builders price jobs quickly and accurately. We measure the brick and block quantities from your drawings and set out the labour, so you can quote with confidence and spend more time laying and less time measuring.

Whether you work labour-only or supply and fix, you get clear quantities that you can price at your own rates.

What a Bricklayer Estimate Includes

  • Brick and block counts: the number of bricks and blocks for each wall, with a waste allowance.
  • Wall areas: each wall type measured in square metres, with openings deducted.
  • Mortar and accessories: mortar, wall ties, cavity trays, lintels and DPC.
  • Labour costs: labour for each wall type and detail.
  • Itemised breakdown: every cost listed clearly, so you can check and adjust it.

Labour-Only and Supply-and-Fix Estimates

Bricklayers price work in different ways. We set out your estimate to match how you work:

  • Labour-only: measured quantities and labour, so you can price your gang's time per square metre or per thousand bricks.
  • Supply and fix: materials and labour priced together, for a complete quote.

Why Bricklayers Use Our Estimating Service

  • Stop measuring drawings in the evenings and at weekends.
  • Quote more jobs and win more work.
  • Avoid under-pricing by missing openings, piers or details.
  • Send your client a clear, professional breakdown.
