Plano's Legacy West corporate campuses and its aging retail centers being redeveloped bring a steady mix of office fit-outs and mixed-use projects. Whether you're bidding retail and mixed-use redevelopment or medical office buildings, our steel estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Our Plano steel takeoffs include anchor rods and base plates coordinated with the foundations. With so much building in the area, fast steel takeoffs help fabricators bid more jobs.
Under the IBC and IRC editions adopted by Plano, 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.
