Fast, Accurate, and Smarter Steel Estimating.

When it comes to steel construction, accuracy is not optional—it’s essential. From planning a simple warehouse to bidding on a large pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) project, contractors need tools that make estimating faster, more reliable, and more professional. That’s why we provide advanced solutions like the PEMB estimating tool, steel bid estimating software, and a modern steel takeoff tool. Each is designed to streamline your workflow, cut down on errors, and help you win more profitable projects.

PEMB Estimating Tool

A PEMB estimating tool is more than just a calculator—it’s your partner in precision. Pre-engineered metal buildings require accurate cost breakdowns, covering everything from structural steel and cladding to labor and equipment. With our tool, contractors can prepare complete estimates in less time, ensuring that bids are competitive and trustworthy.

By simplifying complex calculations, the tool improves project planning and reduces costly mistakes. For erectors and fabricators, it delivers the confidence needed to approach every PEMB project with a clear understanding of costs.

Steel Bid Estimating

Submitting bids is one of the most critical stages of every project. Our steel bid estimating solution empowers contractors to create professional, client-ready proposals without spending long hours on spreadsheets. It automatically accounts for labor, materials, and equipment costs, helping you produce bids that are accurate and competitive.

The real benefit? More wins. By improving speed and consistency, you position yourself as a reliable contractor who delivers bids that inspire client confidence.

Steel Takeoff Tool

Manual takeoffs can take hours and are often prone to costly errors. That’s why contractors rely on our steel takeoff tool. Designed for accuracy and speed, it automates quantity takeoffs so you never miss a detail. Whether you’re working on beams, columns, or PEMB components, the tool ensures that your numbers are exact.

This not only saves valuable time but also ensures that every bid you submit is based on real, measurable data. No more guessing—just results you can trust.

Pre-Engineered Building Estimator

Every PEMB project is unique, and complexity can make accurate estimating challenging. Our pre-engineered building estimator is built to manage both simple and advanced designs with ease. From small warehouses to industrial-scale facilities, the estimator provides contractors with complete cost insights that drive smarter decisions.

With features tailored for erectors, it simplifies the estimating process and allows contractors to respond quickly to bid opportunities. That speed gives you the competitive edge.

Steel Estimating Software

At the core of all these solutions is our powerful steel estimating software. This all-in-one platform combines bid management, takeoff automation, and PEMB estimating into one seamless system. Designed for real-world contractor needs, it’s cloud-based, user-friendly, and highly accurate.

With integrated features like labor cost tracking, material pricing, and project estimation accuracy, the software allows you to focus on winning more bids and delivering successful projects. It’s not just software—it’s your competitive advantage in the steel industry.

How to estimate steel erection costs with SEBW?

What is it that poses the biggest challenge for you as an estimator? Rest assured: it will not be that tough and time-consuming anymore. With SEBW, every step of the estimation process is much more streamlined – from calculating costs to customizing production rates and meeting labor requirements.

Based on hundreds of integrated task formulas, SEBW greatly expedites the once-manual structural steel estimating process. When using it, you will only need to:

  • Do a steel erection takeoff
  • Import or enter takeoff into SEBW
  • Add crew size, equipment, crane and any general conditions needed
  • Massage the bid to your liking
  • Done, you have a Bid Proposal created as well as a duration schedule 

For takeoffs, Steel Erection Bid Wizard can be integrated with Tekla, eTakeoff, SDS2, and many other specialized tools. Streamline whatever you’re doing with a bunch of leading steel estimating products and solutions.

How to estimate metal building tasks with MBBW?

Metal Building Bid Wizard is an Excel-based solution that takes the guesswork out for your  estimators. Similar to SEBW, it’s designed to simplify estimation at all stages of your construction project. But unlike it, MBBW is used for pre-engineered metal buildings.

Both our metal and structural steel estimating solutions are easy to use. Here’s how you can nail it with MBBW:

  • specify length, width, and pitch
  • enter equipment, tooling, transportation, and other project-related costs
  • input labor costs, tax liabilities, etc.
  • prepare your construction takeoff
  • get an estimate

The next thing to do is to go over the numbers. Once everything is taken into account and works well for your company, you can be sure your bids will be nothing but accurate.

When every dollar counts

Even a minor error in your estimate can eat away at your company’s bottom line. What we offer is an automated way to prevent costly mistakes and make sure you’re not losing money.

Using our metal and steel solutions for building estimates is all about having numerical peace of mind. They minimize human error and, in doing so, increase project profitability and cost-efficiency. Say bye to wrong estimates and their detrimental effects once and for all!
