For General Contractors, Steel Contractors & Subcontractors
When a Trenton bid is due, the structural steel and metals numbers have to be right the first time. Remote Estimation delivers metals and structural steel estimating services in Trenton, NJ for steel fabricators, erectors, miscellaneous metals subcontractors, and general contractors, with quantities measured from your drawings, priced in Excel, and backed by a 98% bid-hit ratio.
Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Our Metals Estimating Services provide detailed quantity calculations and cost analysis prepared directly from structural drawings, fabrication details, and project specifications.
Detailed, itemized takeoff reports with quantities, costs and clear breakdown of flowing materials. Here's a preview of that.
Every report includes color-coded marked plans, itemized quantity sheets, and a full cost summary — delivered in Excel and PDF formats, ready to attach directly to your bid submission.
Here is what we measure on a typical Trenton structural steel and metals job: fireproofing interface, structural steel beams and columns, steel joists and joist girders, metal roof and floor decking, bracing and moment connections, stairs and handrails, guardrails and railings, embeds and lintels, miscellaneous and ornamental metals, and pre-engineered metal buildings. Snow-load design steel is quantified. Renovation steel is itemized piece by piece. Each structural steel and metals line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

Trenton's work centers on State of New Jersey offices, school construction, and historic rehabilitation, which usually means public bidding and prevailing-wage pricing. That's the market we estimate for every day, building structural steel and metals takeoffs for projects from state government office construction to historic rowhouse rehabilitation.
Trenton snow loads affect joist and deck sizes, and our takeoffs follow the design. The area's older buildings often need steel reinforcement for new uses, and we quantify it.
Under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), 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 Trenton bid.
Contractors in Trenton use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Ewing, plus Morrisville in Pennsylvania. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and structural steel and metals numbers you can defend at bid review. 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. Your first structural steel and metals estimate is 10% off.
