Masonry Estimating for Florida Contractors

Concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction is the dominant structural wall system for commercial, industrial, and multifamily buildings in Florida — far more prevalent than in most other states — due to its hurricane resistance, moisture resistance, and thermal mass in the hot climate. Florida does not require a statewide masonry contractor license. A CBC or CGC license is required to pull permits. Special inspection of structural masonry is required per FBC Chapter 17.

Florida-Specific Scope Considerations

  • › Fully grouted and reinforced CMU required in Wind-Borne Debris Region per FBC
  • › HVHZ requires NOA-approved masonry assemblies in Miami-Dade and Broward counties

  • › Corrosion-resistant (epoxy-coated or stainless) rebar required in coastal exposure zones
