For General Contractors, Steel Contractors & Subcontractors
Projects in Deep Ellum, the Design District, and across Dallas County move quickly, and so does our team. We provide metals and structural steel estimating services in Dallas, TX, giving steel fabricators, erectors, miscellaneous metals subcontractors, and general contractors itemized structural steel and metals takeoffs and cost estimates in 24 to 72 hours without adding estimating staff.
Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Our Metals Estimating Services provide detailed quantity calculations and cost analysis prepared directly from structural drawings, fabrication details, and project specifications.
Detailed, itemized takeoff reports with quantities, costs and clear breakdown of flowing materials. Here's a preview of that.
Every report includes color-coded marked plans, itemized quantity sheets, and a full cost summary — delivered in Excel and PDF formats, ready to attach directly to your bid submission.
A Dallas structural steel and metals takeoff from our team lists embeds and lintels, miscellaneous and ornamental metals, 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, and bracing and moment connections. Equipment platforms and dunnage are quantified. Tonnage, piece counts, and connections are reported by level. Quantities are grouped the way your structural steel and metals crews install the work, which makes pricing labor as easy as pricing material.

Dallas sits at the center of one of the country's busiest construction markets, where corporate relocations, data center campuses, and multifamily growth keep bid volume high and margins tight. That's the market we estimate for every day, building structural steel and metals takeoffs for projects from corporate office relocations to DFW-area mixed-use towers.
Data centers near Dallas use large steel frames, equipment platforms, generator supports, and roof dunnage. We quantify tonnage and miscellaneous metals. 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.
Under the IBC and IRC editions adopted by Dallas, small details add up: connection design, bracing, guardrail heights, and special-inspection requirements. We catch them during the structural steel and metals takeoff instead of after the award. Measurements are done in Tekla Structures, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift and summarized in Excel for your bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Dallas structural steel and metals bid we touch. Your first structural steel and metals estimate is 10% off.
