Blockwork Take-off: Walls + Retaining
For Builders and Block-layers pricing large commercial projects through to industrial, residential new builds and retaining walls.
We break out blockwork by wall type and thickness, including openings, lintels/bond beams and any key tags/notes picked up along the way so you can price apples-for-apples.
When drawings change, we can re-measure and provide an additions/omissions summary to speed up re-pricing to support variation submissions.
Email your plans and we’ll confirm a fixed fee and turnaround timeframes today.

FAQ
What do you need to complete a blockwork take-off?
The latest PDF drawings (plans, elevations, sections/details), wall type/thickness notes, and any structural/masonry notes.
Will you allow for openings, lintels/bond beams and key details in the take-off?
Yes. Openings are accounted for, and items like lintels/bond beams and notable details are called out with notes so nothing gets missed when measuring or pricing.
Do you separate different block types and wall thicknesses (e.g: 140/190 series)?
Yes. Quantities are broken out by wall type/thickness and blockwork heights/zones so you can apply the correct rates to avoid scope gaps.
Can you re-measure if the drawings change and show what’s increased/decreased?
Yes. We can re-measure revisions and provide an additions/omissions summary to speed up re-pricing and support variation submissions.
