Our Story
Local Steel and Metals Estimating Expertise for Queens, NY Projects
Queens has airport terminal work at JFK, the Willets Point redevelopment, and dense mixed-use growth in Flushing and Jamaica, plus a large stock of one- to three-family homes. For steel fabricators, erectors, miscellaneous metals subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate structural steel and metals quantities on JFK and LaGuardia airport projects and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Steel for Queens 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. Local snow loads affect joist and deck sizes, and our takeoffs follow the design.
Under the NYC Construction Codes, 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. 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. Measurements are done in Tekla Structures, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift and summarized in Excel for your Queens bid.
Hiring an in-house structural steel and metals estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Queens with fast, itemized structural steel and metals estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve neighborhoods such as Jamaica and Jackson Heights as well. Inside the five boroughs, city-funded jobs use the Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and union labor is common on private work too. Your structural steel and metals estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires.
