In Manhattan, logistics are often the biggest cost: delivery windows, crane and hoist time, sidewalk sheds, and occupied-building work all need their own line items. For steel fabricators, erectors, miscellaneous metals subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate structural steel and metals quantities on office-to-residential conversions and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
High-rise steel in Manhattan is priced by tonnage, piece count, and connection complexity, and our takeoffs deliver all three by level. Steel in the area renovations includes new openings, lintels, dunnage for rooftop equipment, and reinforcement of existing framing.
Each takeoff is built in Tekla Structures, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift from your current plan set and checked against the NYC Construction Codes, including connection design, bracing, guardrail heights, and special-inspection requirements. Where the scope involves DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, or Local Law 97 compliance, those costs are flagged so they are not missed at bid time. Metals quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Manhattan contractors actually bid.
More than 500 contractors nationwide use our structural steel and metals and construction estimating services to bid more work with fewer people. For Manhattan firms, that means accurate structural steel and metals numbers in 24 to 72 hours, delivered by estimators who understand New York County. Labor assumptions for the structural steel and metals scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop.
