Why Choose Estimating Canada
Built For Contractors Who Need It Right
Cold-formed steel estimating services for Canadian contractors
Cold-formed steel, or light-gauge framing, replaces wood in many commercial walls and in some mid-rise structures. It is counted by wall type, stud gauge and spacing, and the details at the top and bottom of every wall decide the cost.
We prepare cold-formed steel takeoffs for load-bearing and non-load-bearing framing, with studs, track, bridging and connections on their own lines.
| What we count and price
| Canadian cold-formed steel detail
| How we price it
We group the takeoff by wall type from the drawings, so the framer can price each assembly. Material is shown by linear feet and by weight where your supplier prices that way, with fasteners and accessories separate.
| Timing
Small cold-formed steel takeoffs are normally ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size and urgency.
Frequently asked questions
Do you separate load-bearing from non-load-bearing?

Do you use the supplier's shop drawings?
Yes, where a framing supplier has provided a design.
Do you price sheathing and exterior systems?
Yes, on their own lines.
