Masonry Estimating for Texas Contractors

Brick veneer is the dominant residential exterior cladding material across Texas, and CMU is widely used for commercial and industrial construction. The state's expansive clay soils require careful foundation design to prevent differential settlement that can crack masonry veneer. Texas does not require a statewide masonry contractor license. Local permits are required. Special inspection of structural masonry is required per IBC Chapter 17.
