See All the Materials We Include in Your Steel Takeoffs
We Calculate Every Bolt and Beam for Your Perfect Estimate.
Winning a bid hinges on precision. Ordinary estimators might miss the small stuff, but those materials add up to big costs. Our structural steel takeoffs are detailed, capturing every single component to ensure your estimate is complete and accurate.
Our Process for Accurate Structural Steel Estimating Services
To get precise structural steel estimates you need to review all project plans, drawings and specs. Every beam, column, joist, brace and rebar is looked at to make sure nothing is missed. Using takeoff software we measure and quantify all materials, angles, channels, plates, metal decking and miscellaneous steel. After breakdown of all materials we calculate cost, fabrication labor and erection requirements to get a realistic project budget.
Each estimate is then reviewed for quality assurance to verify connections, bolts, welding and structural details. Once complete we prepare a detailed estimate, send it to the client for review and incorporate any clarifications. Finally the approved estimate is delivered and ready for procurement, fabrication and project execution so contractors can bid with confidence.
