Structural steel estimating services for Canadian contractors

Steel is priced by weight, but weight is only the start. Connections, fabrication, galvanizing, fireproofing, erection and the crane all sit on top, and a change to a beam size on a revision moves the total.

We prepare structural steel takeoffs for beams, columns, joists, decking and connections, with tonnage by member and the supporting items on their own lines.

| What we count and price

Wide-flange beams and columns by size, length and tonnage
Hollow structural sections, angles, channels and plates
Steel joists and metal deck
Connections, base plates, anchor rods and bolts
Shop primer, galvanizing and fire protection
Erection, crane time and bracing

| Canadian steel detail

Design follows CSA S16, and fabrication follows CSA W59 for welding
Common structural steel is CSA G40.21 grade 350W
Members are listed using the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC) sections
Fire protection requirements from the building code affect the cost

| How we price it

We take off tonnage by member from the structural drawings and add allowances for connections where they are not detailed. Each assumption is written beside the line so you can adjust it.

| Timing

Small steel takeoffs are normally ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size and urgency.
