HOW THE ESTIMATE COMES TOGETHER

A practical structural steel workflow

1. Review plans

Work from the project documents, check the quantities that matter to this trade, and keep the pricing decisions in the estimator’s hands.

2. Organize quantities

Work from the project documents, check the quantities that matter to this trade, and keep the pricing decisions in the estimator’s hands.

3. Price scope

Work from the project documents, check the quantities that matter to this trade, and keep the pricing decisions in the estimator’s hands.

4. Estimator review

Work from the project documents, check the quantities that matter to this trade, and keep the pricing decisions in the estimator’s hands.

WHAT VEGA DOES WITH THIS SCOPE

Reads beam and column schedules from structural sheets when available and converts member shape, length, quantity and weight into tonnage. Material, fabrication, detailing, connections, shop primer and erection are separated; whole-frame fallback estimates are labeled budgetary.

Know what is in the number before it leaves your desk

Light-gauge partitions belong to Steel Stud Framing; reinforcing bars belong to Rebar. Vega handles the repetitive takeoff and estimating work while keeping the underlying quantities and assumptions visible. The estimator still owns the scope, field conditions and final bid.

Frequently asked questions

What is structural steel estimating software?

Structural Steel estimating software brings the quantities, materials, labor and pricing for this scope into one estimate so you can check the work before you bid.

Can Vega help estimate structural steel from construction plans?

Yes. Vega works from the plans and the trade information available in the set, then gives you the quantities and assumptions to review before the estimate is finalized.

Can I review and change the quantities and pricing?

Yes. You can review and change quantities, scope, labor and pricing before the estimate goes out.
