Estimating that knows the difference between modular and queen brick, between cast stone panels and natural thin veneer, between a raked joint and a struck one. Flashing, weep, and tie schedules carried as line items, not gotchas. AIA pay apps the GC will stamp. The same tool from the bid to the deposit.
Generic estimating tools collapse veneer into "masonry" and you bid the wrong number. The unit math is per-SF on the field, per-LF on lintels and sills, per-EA on cast-stone trim. Flashing, weep, tie schedules — bid separately or eat the cost when the GC backcharges. Mortar coverage on a 3/8" head joint is different from CMU bedding.
Veneer scope is built into the platform as veneer — not as a sub-bullet under "Masonry, miscellaneous." Bid it the way it actually installs, in the units it actually counts in.
Scope templates, units, accessories, and the back-office workflow are all set up the way a veneer shop runs — not the way a generic SaaS thinks one runs.
Modular, queen, king — unit conversions baked in. Cast stone tracked per piece with weight for installation-method math. Natural thin veneer by SF with waste-factor defaults that match the supplier's coverage chart.
The detail items that make veneer pass inspection live as scope rows, not as overhead allowances. Step flashing by LF. Weeps by EA at spec spacing. Wire ties or Z-ties at spec ratio per SF.
Mixed-crew labor on every scope — not one blended rate. Override per project for prevailing wage. Certified-payroll outputs roll up automatically from time cards.
AIA G702 + G703 with retainage tracking, stored material lines (pallets staged on site), and a schedule of values that maps cleanly back to your scope buildup.
Veneer-aware fields — SF laid, joints tooled, panels set, flashing installed — alongside weather, manpower, and on-the-wall photos. Three taps from a phone, not a spreadsheet at the truck.
The mason taps in once and out once with a PIN. The phone snaps a verification photo and stamps the jobsite location. The office sees the hours by the next morning, not Sunday night.
Every module the platform routes through. On a veneer job, here's how they line up.
Scope buildup becomes the project budget when you win. Foreman opens the install plan on a phone and sees the panel layout, the tie spacing, the flashing detail by elevation. The bid spec becomes the install spec.
Photo-verified clock-in feeds the time card. Mason, tender, and helper hours stay separated so prevailing-wage and certified-payroll outputs are clean. No reclassification at week-end.
Percent-complete plus stored material (palletized brick staged on site) rolls into AIA G702/G703. SOV traces back to the scope rows you bid. The PDF the GC stamps is the one the system generates.
You bid, you run, you bill. Stop juggling a spreadsheet for the takeoff and a separate one for the flashing schedule and a third for the pay app. One source of truth from the elevation to the deposit.
Daily logs and crew time from a phone. Pre-populated scope fields. The install plan from the bid is on the same screen as the clock-in — no paper, no tear-out, no Sunday night data entry.
AIA pay apps with the click of a button. AP with OCR'd vendor bills (brick suppliers, cast-stone fabricators). Payroll that pulls from time tracking. The full back office runs from one system.
Yes. Each format ships with its standard units-per-SF and joint coverage. Switching format on a scope re-runs the unit count without manual re-keying.
Per piece by default, with weight captured for install-method scoping (crane-set vs hand-set). Trim items like sills and water tables track by LF.
Yes — tracked by SF with default waste factors per material (typically 8–12% for natural). Mortar joint coverage adjusts based on dry-stack vs grouted spec.
Yes — each as its own scope line. Step flashing by LF. Weeps by EA at spec spacing. Wire ties or Z-ties by EA at spec ratio per SF. Inspection-ready scope, not allowance-buried.
First-class output. SOV maps back to the scope rows you bid. Retainage tracks per draw. Stored material has its own line so on-site brick pallets don't trip you up at month-end.
Captured at the scope level for crew reference, and visible in the daily log when the foreman confirms joints tooled. Different joint types carry different productivity defaults.
Yes — bid both, track both separately, roll both into the pay app under their own SOV lines. Most veneer shops do at least some structural masonry; the platform handles it.
Book a 30-minute call. Bring an active veneer bid — even better if it's a tricky cavity wall or a heavy cast-stone elevation. We'll walk through the takeoff, the scope buildup, and what the pay app looks like.
