Micron's planned megafab in Clay and the I-81 viaduct replacement are bringing a once-in-a-generation wave of housing, retail, and supplier work to Central New York. Whether you're bidding I-81 viaduct replacement or Syracuse University construction, our steel estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Steel in Syracuse 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.
Each takeoff is built in Tekla Structures, Bluebeam Revu, and PlanSwift from your current plan set and checked against the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, including connection design, bracing, guardrail heights, and special-inspection requirements. Metals quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Syracuse contractors actually bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Syracuse structural steel and metals bid we touch. We can price structural steel and metals labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. On public work in New York, rates come from the State Department of Labor's prevailing wage schedules, and some privately built projects with significant public funding now fall under them too.
