Tonnage and details

Steel is more than tons.

Connections, finishes, fabrication and erection method affect cost as much as the weight on the drawings.

  • Structural framing, joists and girders
  • Metal deck, shear studs and edge angles
  • Miscellaneous metals: stairs, rails, lintels and supports
  • Connections, base plates and anchor rods
  • Shop primer, galvanizing or fireproofing as specified
  • Erection, cranes and delivery

FAQ

Good questions.

Who uses this service?

Steel fabricators and erectors, general contractors preparing budgets and developers evaluating structural systems.

Do you detail or fabricate?

No. We estimate quantities and cost from the documents. Shop drawings and fabrication are by others.

Can I get quantities only?

Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.

What should I send?

Structural drawings, architectural drawings for miscellaneous metals, Division 05 specifications and addenda.
