Masonry

Retaining wall on Monday, veneer on Thursday, a fireplace bid in between.

Masonry runs on material weight and weather. Stone does not show up off a truck. Mortar sets on its own schedule. Clients want to know what a patio or a chimney actually costs before they commit, and your bid is competing against the mason who promised something he cannot deliver.

Jobkore runs from the phone. Quote from the curb, invoice between pours, and collect online before the pallets are empty.

A masonry bid is stone, mortar, base, and finish — priced separately.

A retaining wall is not one number. It is excavation, base aggregate, drainage, the stone itself, mortar or dry-stack, caps, and cleanup. Build the estimate in sections — base and prep, material, setting labor, caps, and finish work — so the homeowner sees every cost.

The client understands why stone costs what it does. You have a document if the scope shifts mid-build.

Change orders for what is behind the old stone.

You tear off failing veneer and find rotted sheathing. The chimney cap is worse than anyone thought. The homeowner wants to bump the height of the wall or change the stone selection. Write each as a change order against the original bid — scope, price, signature — before the new stone goes on.

Deposit for material, draw at set, final at cleanup.

Stone costs money up front. Labor gets billed as the work progresses. Final hits once the site is cleaned up and the client has walked the wall. Every invoice pulls from the same estimate so the math stays clean.

Hank AI™ turns the site walk into a structured bid in seconds.

You measured the footprint, photographed the existing conditions and access, and jotted notes on the stone selection, height, and client expectations. Hand those notes to Hank AI™ and in seconds the estimate is laid out — base, material, setting, caps, cleanup. Your rates go on top.

Hank never invents square footage, rates, or margins. It organizes what you measured.
