Our Story
Steel and Metals Takeoff & Estimating Built for Princeton Contractors
Princeton's university building program and the Route 1 research corridor produce some of New Jersey's most detailed institutional and lab bids. Our steel estimators work with steel fabricators, erectors, miscellaneous metals subcontractors, and general contractors across Princeton, pricing jobs tied to Princeton University campus expansion, Route 1 life-sciences and corporate campuses, and high-end residential.
Steel in Princeton renovations includes new openings, lintels, dunnage for rooftop equipment, and reinforcement of existing framing. We take off each piece. Local snow loads affect joist and deck sizes, and our takeoffs follow the design.
Our steel estimators use Tekla Structures, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift to build each Princeton takeoff, and they read the drawings with the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC) in mind, including connection design, bracing, guardrail heights, and special-inspection requirements. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every structural steel and metals number can be checked.
Hiring an in-house structural steel and metals estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Princeton with fast, itemized structural steel and metals estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve nearby Lawrenceville and Montgomery as well. Labor assumptions for the structural steel and metals scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. In New Jersey, NJDOL publishes the prevailing wage rates used on public works and many publicly assisted redevelopment jobs. Request a quote today, and your first estimate comes with 10% off.
