Matched by eye, to a stated confidence. Test before you build structurally.Example Grade Card

Two photos. A Grade Card in seconds.

  1. Photograph the wall

    Stand back. Fill the screen with bricks. Daylight works best.

  2. Get close to a joint

    Take a close-up of the mortar. It shows lime or cement.

  3. Read the Grade Card

    Type, age, mortar, condition and a price. Each shows how sure Seam is.

Everything a yard would ask. On one card.

A stack of reclaimed Staffordshire blue engineering bricks

Type and age

London stock, Staffordshire blue, Leicester red and more. Seam names the brick and roughly when it was made. Slate and roof tiles are in beta.

A price for the wall

A price range, based on what these bricks sell for. Not sure? Seam won’t guess.

Mortar

Lime or cement. Lime cleans off more easily.

Condition

Weathering, flaking and damage.

Quantity

Measured by your iPhone, or by you.

Made for people who handle bricks.

Every Grade Card says this. Seam shows how sure it is. It won’t price a brick it isn’t sure of. And it warns you about asbestos.
