Hi, I’m Vince Hughes, owner of Steel Estimating Solutions.
I’ve been in this industry since I was 17 years old, and needless to say, it’s in my blood. My journey includes:
After 15 years in the field, I transitioned into estimating and soon began running that department.
One thing always bothered me—estimating felt outdated. I knew there had to be a better way. That’s when I started exploring digital solutions.
I quickly found On Screen Take Off, a takeoff program that improved speed and efficiency. Today, there are many digital takeoff programs, and I’d be happy to help you find one that fits your company’s needs.
While takeoff programs helped, there was nothing specifically for steel erection. I tested a few programs, but none met my needs as an erector.
At that point, I said:
“Screw it, let’s do it…”
I decided to create my own software. Over the years—and with help from industry experts—I developed:
Now, I focus full-time on software development. While I sometimes miss steel erection, hearing from 400 erectors who love SEBW makes it worth it.
Many tell me:
“I can’t believe how close the software is to what we were doing manually—but so much faster.”
We live in a digital world. Remember life before cell phones and fax machines? Why estimate the old-school way?
If you’re an estimator or work in steel erection, our software will:
Cut estimating time in half Get what you know “out of your head” Help up-and-coming estimators bid faster and more accurately Make you more competitive

Onward & Upward,
Vince Hughes
