Masonry is a Division 04 scope under the TMS masonry code, and a masonry subcontractor that does not read the units, the reinforcement, and the finishes is pricing the wrong work.
What a masonry package sets
Masonry under Division 04 covers brick, concrete masonry units, stone, mortar, and reinforcement, designed to the TMS 402 code and 602 specification. The package sets the units, the coursing, the reinforcement and grouting, and the finishes the masonry sub must provide, along with cold weather and testing requirements.
Why masonry scope is easy to misprice
The unit types, the reinforcement and grouting, the finishes, and the testing sit in the Division 04 specifications and the drawings, not the title. A sub that misreads the units or the reinforcement carries the wrong material and labor into the bid.
How an AI bid agent reads masonry packages
An AI bid agent reads each masonry solicitation or sub package, identifies the Division 04 scope under TMS, and surfaces the units, the reinforcement, and the finishes that drive the work. The masonry sub prices the actual scope.
