For General Contractors, Steel Contractors & Subcontractors
From Downtown to The Woodlands, structural steel and metals bids in Houston are won on accurate quantities. Our metals and structural steel estimating services in Houston give steel fabricators, erectors, miscellaneous metals subcontractors, and general contractors a complete, itemized takeoff and estimate built from your plans and specifications, so you can bid with confidence and protect your margin.
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 Houston structural steel and metals takeoff from our team lists metal roof and floor decking, bracing and moment connections, stairs and handrails, guardrails and railings, embeds and lintels, miscellaneous and ornamental metals, pre-engineered metal buildings, shear studs, base plates and anchor rods, and fireproofing interface. Tonnage, piece counts, and connections are reported by level. Wind bracing and anchorage are quantified. Quantities are grouped the way your structural steel and metals crews install the work, which makes pricing labor as easy as pricing material.

Houston has no zoning code, so commercial, industrial, and residential projects often go up side by side, and Gulf Coast humidity, expansive clay, and Harris County floodplain rules shape nearly every bid. We prepare structural steel and metals estimates for that full range of work, from petrochemical work along the Houston Ship Channel to smaller jobs in Downtown and Midtown.
Steel for Houston 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. The area's commercial growth means fabricators bid many joist-and-deck buildings.
Code requirements change quantities, so our steel estimators review every Houston drawing set against the City of Houston's amended construction codes, 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.
Contractors in Houston use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Katy and Spring. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and structural steel and metals numbers you can defend at bid review.
