Our Structural Steel Estimating Process
Efficient Workflow for Accurate Results
Step 1: Submit Project Drawings
Start by submitting the documents to be used in the estimate such as structural drawings, steel framing plans, elevations, sections, steel details, shop drawings, schedules, specifications, addenda and bid documents. Full and up-to-date documentation enables our estimators to know the scope of the structural steel prior to commencing the takeoff.
Step 2: Scope Review
Our estimating team carefully reviews the drawings and specifications to identify beams, columns, girders, joists, braces, plates, connections, miscellaneous steel and other applicable components Member sizes, connection requirements, fabrication details, erection conditions, project-specific requirements influence quantities and pricing are also identified with the help of this review.
Step 3: Estimating & Takeoff
After the scope is defined, estimators carry out elaborate measurements and calculations. The amount of steel to use, the sizes of the members, lengths of the members, weight of the members, connecting elements, labor needs, cost of fabrication, transportation, installation cost and the equipment as well are calculated and arranged as per the project requirement. This forms the basis of a credible bid or budget.
Step 4: Final Delivery

Why Accurate Structural Steel Estimates Matter
Better Planning for Efficient Steel Construction
Prevent Budget Overruns
Proper structural steel estimates create realistic knowledge on material, fabrication, labor, transportation, equipment and erection costs prior to the commencement of the construction. By being able to determine the key cost factors beforehand, contractors are able to create more reliable project budgets and minimize the chances of unforeseen costs.
Improve Material Procurement
Detailed takeoffs assist the contractors in deciding the quantity of beams, columns, girders, joists, plate, bolts, connection materials and other steel materials that are needed. Improved quantity data promotes streamlined buying and supplier management and minimizes the probability of inventory deficits or excess orders.
Reduce Material Waste
Accurate calculation of steel quantity and weight aids contractors in planning their material purchases better and reducing waste steel. Proper measurements of the members and identification of the scope can also minimize wrong orders, unnecessary fabrication and unnecessary material costs.
Support Better Project Planning
Reliable structural steel estimates provide useful information for planning fabrication schedules, shop labor, transportation, deliveries, erection crews, cranes, lifting equipment and field installation activities. This allows coordination of steel work more efficiently with other construction trades by contractors.
Enhance Bid Competitiveness
Correct pricing of structural steel also gives the contractors a better platform to be able to offer competitive bids. Knowing about the material, fabrication, transportation, labor and erection needs, contractors can avoid overpricing that is not needed and still make the margins needed to make the project profitable.
Reduce Construction Delays
Proper material, fabrication, delivery and erection planning help prevent procurement problems, steel shortages, fabrication bottlenecks and installation delays. Proper estimating supports the coordination of the fabrication shop, transportation teams, erectors and other construction trades.
