Metals Estimating Services
Our Metals Estimating Services are designed to provide you with accurate and reliable estimates, so you can get started on your project with confidence. With our team of experienced estimators, we can help you determine the exact materials and quantities needed for your project, no matter how big or small.
At Bidding Estimate, We prioritize accuracy and attention to detail when describing and quantifying all aspects of your metals projects, including Decks, Trusses, Railings, Stud Framing, Joists, Gratings, And Castings. Our senior estimators meticulously proof-check every takeoff to ensure that even the smallest details are accounted for and properly estimated. This approach not only reduces waste but also has a positive impact on the environment by minimizing excess ordering and waste dumping.
We specialize in providing a complete range of Steel Estimating and Detailing services for complex structures, as many Steel Fabricators and Manufacturers, even Steel Framing Contractors, struggle to read the technical details and make accurate takeoffs.
We offer complete Structural Steel Detailing services for all types of infrastructures, Residential, Commercial, and Industrial projects, from planning through completion.
