    Mortar is used to bed masonry units and seal against air and moisture, while grout is used primarily in reinforced masonry to bond the masonry to reinforcing steel. Estimators should be aware of the unique uses and costs of mortar and grout. When estimating masonry costs, the estimator must have full knowledge of factors like building shape and type, mortar type, wall thickness, joint style, and quality of workmanship. Bracing is required for all masonry walls during construction and the estimator should include the cost of bracing until permanent bracing is complete.

    Estimating Tips
    041 Mortar & Masonry Accessories
    The terms mortar and grout are often used
    interchangeably, and incorrectly. Mortar is used
    to bed masonry units, seal the entry of air and
    moisture, provide architectural appearance, and
    allow for size variations in the units. Grout is
    used primarily in reinforced masonry construction
    and is used to bond the masonry to the
    reinforcing steel. Estimator should be aware of
    their unique uses and costs.

    042 Unit Masonry


    Masonry pricing requires full knowledge of the
    various factors and parameters affecting costs,
    such as building shape, type of building, kind of
    mortar, wall thickness, joints style and quality
    of workmanship.
    The most common types of unit masonry are
    brick and concrete masonry. The major
    classifications of brick are building brick and
    glazed brick, fire brick and pavers. Brick and
    concrete block are priced by the piece and then
    converted into price per square meter of wall.

    All masonry walls, whether interior or exterior,


    require bracing. The cost of bracing walls
    during construction should be included by the
    estimator and this bracing must remain in place
    until permanent bracing is complete. Estimator
    shall also pay attention to all anchoring
    accessories of walls to the structural frames.
    Brick bonds, patterns, running bonds type are
    major factors affecting productivity and cost.
    For jobs that require large amount of cutting
    bricks, consider a portable masonry saw.
    Contractor shall pay attention to the costs of
    cleaning face bricks, this cost varies with
    the kind of bricks used. Contractor shall focus
    on other miscellaneous masonry costs such as
    extra labor and hoisting for materials used in
    high-rise buildings. Contractors shall focus on
    pricing extra materials, labor involved to meet
    seismic requirements for concrete masonry
    walls.
