Our Story
Steel and Metals Takeoff & Estimating Built for Hackensack Contractors
Hackensack's downtown rezoning brought a wave of five- to eight-story podium apartments, while the Hackensack Meridian medical campus keeps healthcare work steady. We prepare structural steel and metals estimates for that full range of work, from county government facilities to smaller jobs in Downtown and Main Street and the Hackensack University Medical Center area.
Steel for Hackensack high-rises is heavy and connection-intensive: column splices, moment connections, transfer girders, composite deck with shear studs, and complex miscellaneous metals. We calculate tonnage by member and count connections and studs. Local snow loads affect joist and deck sizes, and our takeoffs follow the design.
Code requirements change quantities, so our steel estimators review every Hackensack drawing set against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), 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.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Hackensack structural steel and metals bid we touch. Public jobs in New Jersey follow the state Prevailing Wage Act, and redevelopment projects that receive public assistance often do too. Your structural steel and metals estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Send your structural steel and metals drawings today for a fixed quote.
