Built for masonry

Software for masonry contractors

Block, brick, stone and veneer — counted by the unit and slowed by the weather. Masonry quotes come down to unit counts, mortar and access, and cold weather turns a good week into a lost one. TradesOps estimates from the wall area, schedules around the forecast, and tracks the skilled hours the job actually took.

Where masonry jobs lose money

Not the dramatic failures — the ordinary ones that happen on a normal week.

Unit counts worked out twice

Give it the wall area and it returns block or brick counts with waste, plus mortar, ties and reinforcement, from the same measurements you quoted from.

Cold weather costing you a week

The schedule shows the forecast against each job, so work gets moved while there is still time to move the crew with it.

Skilled hours not tracked against the job

Masons and labourers clock in against the job from their phones, so you can see what the wall really cost in labour rather than what you assumed.

Masonry questions

Can it work out block and brick counts?

Yes. Enter the wall area and it returns the unit count with waste applied, along with mortar, sand, ties and reinforcement for the type of wall you are building.

Does it handle repointing and repair work?

Yes — repair work is set up as its own job type with its own materials, so a repointing job is not quoted with the assumptions of a new wall.

Can I schedule around cold weather?

The schedule shows the forecast against each job so you can move work before the crew is on site. Anyone affected can be messaged from the same screen.
