Our Story
Steel and Metals Takeoff & Estimating Built for Old Bridge Contractors
Old Bridge has some of the last large residential tracts in Middlesex County, with Route 9 commercial pads and townhouse communities dominating the bid boards. That's the market we estimate for every day, building structural steel and metals takeoffs for projects from Route 9 and Route 18 retail and medical offices to townhouse communities.
Near the water in Old Bridge, steel finish specifications drive cost, and our takeoffs list galvanized, painted, and stainless items separately. Local snow loads affect joist and deck sizes, and our takeoffs follow the design.
Code requirements change quantities, so our steel estimators review every Old Bridge 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 Old Bridge structural steel and metals bid we touch. Labor assumptions for the structural steel and metals scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. New Jersey's Prevailing Wage Act covers public works, with rates published by the NJ Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and many redevelopment projects carry the same requirement.
