How We Work

For Metals Estimating, all trusses, beams, railing, lintels, columns, channels, joists, studs, decking, and castings are carefully and thoroughly quantified using specialized software. Our expert metal estimators then recheck all quantities, ensuring the accuracy of the take-off. Once the take-off is done, our cost estimators gather and input unit prices for each item separately. We maintain reliable and up-to-date cost data, adjusted according to the zip code, for all materials in any metal construction project. Additionally, we subscribe to the RS Means database.
