Columns, beams, connections, and miscellaneous metals — quantified from your structural set and reconciled against connection details, not just member schedules.
Columns, beams, girders — sized, counted, and totaled to tonnage by member type and grade.
Base plates, moment connections, bracing — quantified with the hardware that goes with them, not assumed.
Stairs, railings, ladders, embeds, and other misc-metal scope that regularly gets missed in a fast takeoff.
A steel estimate built purely off a member schedule undercounts connection material and labor almost every time — moment connections, stiffener plates, and field bolts add real weight and real cost that a schedule-only takeoff misses. We cross-reference structural drawings against connection details and general notes, not just the beam schedule, to catch this before it becomes a change order.
Need shop-ready detailing after the takeoff, or cold-formed steel connections on the light-gauge side of the job? Those run through our Shop Drawings and CFS Detailing services — coordinated with the same team.
Structural steel connection complexity is exactly why our quality assurance process routes steel scope to a specialist reviewer — someone who's read structural drawings before, not a generalist skimming a member list.
Send your structural set — we'll scope tonnage, connections, and misc metals together.
