How zzTakeoff works for Masonry
A simple three-step workflow to move from plans to estimate-ready quantities.
Upload your plans
Measure quantities
Price it & bid it
Faster masonry takeoffs. Accurate bids.
zzTakeoff gives masonry contractors an organized way to move from plan review to takeoff without relying on scattered manual processes.
- Measure walls, openings, and veneer right off the plans
- Auto-calculate block and brick counts with waste factors applied
- Price out material, labor, and equipment in one place
Stay on Top of Revisions
When drawings shift, your team needs a faster way to review what changed. zzTakeoff makes it easy to compare affected sheets and verify masonry quantities so you do not have to start from scratch.
- Overlay old and new drawings to spot every change instantly
- See exactly where walls or openings changed
- Update your quantities in minutes instead of starting over
Structure Your Estimate by Scope of Work
Organize your masonry takeoffs the way you bid the work, so quantities roll up into a breakdown that is easy to review, price, and hand off.
- Phase your takeoff by elevation, floor, or building
- Categorize by wall type, veneer, or system
- Itemize your bid breakdown to match how the GC wants to see it

Why Masonry contractors choose zzTakeoff
Use a simpler digital workflow to capture quantities, review scope, and keep your estimating process consistent.
Unit math done for you
Measure wall areas once and they auto-convert into block and brick counts by wall type, with waste applied. No spreadsheet gymnastics or math errors.
One measurement, multiple quantities
A single wall takeoff can drive units, mortar, grout, reinforcing, and labor via assemblies. Measure once, quantify everything.
Fast tools for repetitive walls
Duplicate and convert features plus the multiplier handle repeated elevations and typical wall panels across the project.
Search the plans, don't hunt
Instantly find every callout like "8-inch CMU" or "repointing" across a full drawing set instead of scanning sheet by sheet.
Bid more jobs in less time
AI auto-naming, sheet numbering, and auto-scaling cut plan setup from hours to minutes, so you get more bids out the door and a better hit rate.
Collaborate on big jobs
Estimators, PMs, and Precon Managers can work on the same project simultaneously. Split up a large plan set by elevation or building and experience the power of teamwork.
Handle revisions without redoing work
Overlay and compare when wall layouts or openings change, then adjust only the affected elevations instead of starting over.
Cloud and mobile access from anywhere
Check quantities from the jobsite, a pre-bid walk, or the office on your phone, tablet, Mac, or PC. No install, no VPN, no waiting to get back to your desk.
Easy switch from PlanSwift, Bluebeam & OST
Import your existing PlanSwift and Bluebeam jobs, and bring your PlanSwift and OST templates with you, so you can hit the ground running instead of rebuilding your library from scratch.
Assembly building is a cake walk“The ZZ UI and takeoff screen is smooth, simple, intuitive, and polished. Assembly building is a cake walk. Your overlay feature is hands down better than any we have used and with the amount of revisions we do, it's critical. Keep pushing to build that Android, "I can do anything with this" backend while having that Apple look and feel front end, and price it like you guys do and any estimator not using it will be making a big mistake. Thanks for your hard work and passion!”
Masonry estimating software FAQs
You can measure wall areas, block, brick, stone veneer, openings, lintels, control joints, and virtually any other masonry item. Organize your takeoffs by wall type, elevation, or phase to generate material, labor, and equipment quantities that are easier to review and estimate.
Yes. Whether your project includes multiple wall types, elevations, or phases, zzTakeoff keeps each one organized while combining everything into one complete estimate. This makes it easy to review and price masonry projects.
When masonry drawings change, simply upload the revised sheets and compare them with the original plans using the Overlay feature. Changes are easy to identify, allowing you to update only the affected areas while keeping the rest of your estimate intact.
Yes. zzTakeoff can automatically convert measured wall areas into block and brick counts, with waste factors applied for each wall type. That gives you accurate material quantities to price without hand calculations.
A single wall takeoff can drive multiple masonry quantities, including mortar, grout, reinforcing, and other related materials. This helps you build complete masonry estimates from one set of measurements.
Yes. Use the Linear Takeoff tool to measure wall lengths on the floor plan, then apply a wall height to automatically calculate wall areas. From there, zzTakeoff can generate block and brick quantities even when elevation drawings are not available.
Openings can be deducted from wall areas to keep masonry quantities accurate, while lintels can be estimated separately based on your preferred workflow. Whether measured by length, count, or other estimating methods, everything remains organized within the same project.
Yes. Masonry restoration projects often include several different types of work. Whether you're working from elevation drawings, marked-up PDFs, or site photos, zzTakeoff helps you estimate repointing, brick replacement, cleaning, sealing, and other repairs within one organized estimate.
Yes. No matter the size or type of masonry project, zzTakeoff helps you build organized, accurate estimates. From residential veneer and fireplaces to large commercial CMU packages, the workflows can adapt to the way you need to estimate.
The best way to evaluate zzTakeoff is with a real project. Start your free 14-day trial, upload the plans you're estimating today, and see how quickly you can build an accurate masonry estimate.
