Offering you precise, inexpensive, and prompt structural steel, rebar, and other metals estimates and detailing services for a variety of building projects can assist you in lowering overhead costs, preventing waste, and protecting the environment.
Estimating Services for Metals
A whole pre-construction estimating consultant, The Estimating Studio began as a steel cost estimator consulting company for metal frame contractors, steel cost estimator erectors, steel producers, distributors, and fabricators. For the benefit of our clients, our team of highly qualified structural steel estimators and engineers has created the finest estimating procedures to review takeoffs, evaluate takeoffs, and manage construction costs.
All decks, trusses, railings, stud framing, joists, gratings, and castings are accurately defined and quantified for metals estimating services, and senior steel cost estimators then double-check the information to make sure that the quality of the minute details in takeoffs is maintained. By placing an emphasis on precision and detail, we not only save waste but also help preserve the environment by ordering less materials for the job site and keeping the disposed garbage out of the area. Visit our entry in The Blue Book, please.
Due to their lack of technical knowledge, many steel fabricators, manufacturers, and even steel frame contractors struggle to interpret the technical data from the designs and perform correct takeoffs with structural specifications. We are experts in offering a full selection of steel estimation services. We specialize in providing a complete range of steel estimating and detailing services with the ability to handle complex structures.

Our estimates comprise the detailed breakdown of metals and steel including materials, plates, connectors, accessories, and erection costs that help in planning, procurement, cost control, reduced storage space at the site, to ensure maximum productivity and cost savings for your projects.
All line items are quantified and takeoff in an EXCEL sheet accompanied by marked-up plans and pdf format files. As per your requirements, your estimate can be categorized by unit price, lump sum, and cost-plus formats. We quantify the following types of materials:
With the capability to handle all types and sizes of projects, we provide structural steel estimating services and detailing services for the structures for the following scope of projects:
The Estimating Studio serves its clients with precise estimating services with the culmination of expert estimators and detailers proficient in the following Software:
Only accurate estimates may reduce the likelihood of overbidding and underbidding on your projects as a result of the constantly evolving trends in the construction industry.
We have successfully provided very accurate and thorough estimates to rebar contractors for supplies, accessories, and erection costs, so you may rely on us for your rebar or reinforcing steel takeoffs. Our rebar estimators can manage projects of any size and complexity, including bridges, wing walls, retaining walls, residential buildings, commercial buildings, and industrial buildings. They also have extensive software knowledge.
For steel estimates, we employ 3D model technology, which shows a comprehensive grasp of the scope of work and aids inaccuracies in cost analysis and feasibility. Our deliverables for estimating rebar include:
We have a staff of skilled estimators that can estimate or takeoff home plans in as little as 24 to 48 hours, both for commercial and residential projects. Turnaround times for commercial estimates might change depending on the complexity and scale of the project.
We deploy RSMeans and our developed construction cost database for material, labor and equipment pricing for up to date and zip code based costing.
The first step in the estimating process at The Estimating Studio is the review of the drawing plans by the MEP specialist, who has extensive prior experience working with Mechanical (HVAC), ducting, air-conditioning systems, refrigeration units, Electrical, low voltage equipment, and Plumbing takeoffs. The specifics, timelines, and requirements, together with a few small general observations, are taken into account.
Each drawing plan is then uploaded using our approved software, such as Trimble, Bluebeam, Plan Swift, FastWRAP, FastDUCT, etc. A senior estimator, who assures a cold-eyed evaluation from marked-up plans and takeoffs sheets in EXCEL, reviews the quantities from the plans after our qualified and certified estimator takesoffs them and ensures that all considerations, correct standards, and codes are followed.
Each line item is quantified, stated, and given the appropriate explanation in accordance with the goal. It is defined what the job-winning approach will be for bid estimates, procurement, and supply needs. After the estimation department has undergone peer review, estimates for residential, commercial, and industrial projects are presented to clients.
Our field expert estimators specialized in Division 5 are adept in miscellaneous steel estimating and metal stud drywall estimating and are deployed to carry out the steel fabrication and structural steel erection takeoffs. The attention to detail and use of RSMeans helps in accurate and up to date pricing based on zip code.
Our estimators are hands-on with digital takeoff software so we deliver estimates within 24 to 48 hours.
We normally charge around $200 for steel and metals estimates and it can be less or more depending on the scope of the project. We strive to provide quality services and justify the charges we quote with our services.
We provide you estimates in EXCEL sheets along with marked-up plans to make it easy for you to understand and edit. All line items are organized by CSI MasterFormat or Uniformat or as per your demand.
