Structural steel estimating
The backbone material, estimated to match
There is little margin for approximation when structural steel is involved, it is one of the few materials a project genuinely cannot proceed without, and pricing it wrong at bid stage is expensive to unwind later. Our structural steel estimators combine careful drawing analysis with dedicated takeoff software to produce quantities that match how the frame will actually be fabricated and erected.
We work with general contractors, steel contractors, builders, rebar contractors, project owners and engineers, covering everything from shopping malls, high-rises and manufacturing plants to bridges, stadiums, warehouses and medical facilities.
Every estimate moves through the same disciplined process: secure handling of your drawings, a full analysis by the estimating team, on-screen measurement, specification and quantity detail, labour-hour calculation, and a final compiled package in the format you need to bid.
