Here is what we measure on a typical Austin structural steel and metals job: pre-engineered metal buildings, shear studs, base plates and anchor rods, fireproofing interface, structural steel beams and columns, steel joists and joist girders, metal roof and floor decking, bracing and moment connections, stairs and handrails, and guardrails and railings. Equipment platforms and dunnage are quantified. Tonnage, piece counts, and connections are reported by level. Each structural steel and metals line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

We prepare structural steel and metals estimates for that full range of work, from downtown residential towers to smaller jobs in Downtown and the Domain.
Mission-critical steel near Austin includes heavy equipment supports, which we take off. Steel for local high-rises is heavy and connection-intensive: column splices, moment connections, transfer girders, composite deck with shear studs, and complex miscellaneous metals.
Code requirements change quantities, so our steel estimators review every Austin drawing set against the IBC and IRC editions adopted by Austin, paying attention to connection design, bracing, guardrail heights, and special-inspection requirements. The takeoff is built in Tekla Structures, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
