If You Ever Wondered If There Was a Better Way, These Erectors Will Confirm That There Is

We have been using Steel Erection Bid Wizard since 2013. The program has a great format to capture the scope of work in the steel erection industry. We've had great success, and any issues we encountered were quickly resolved. Vince is excellent at communicating and providing support whenever needed.

I used to bid the old-school way with paper and pen. Two years ago, we transitioned to digital estimating, and Steel Erection Bid Wizard with OST has been a game-changer. Since making the switch, our business has doubled in size each year! We’re honored to have these tools in our office and excited to continue our growth. Huge thanks to Vince and the team!

Jim Whaley (Operations Manager)
Whaley Steel LLC
As a graduate of the Construction Management Engineering program at UNC Charlotte, I had limited exposure to takeoffs and estimating. When I started working as an estimator, I initially used old-school methods on 24x36 drawings. I knew there had to be a better, faster, and more economical way. That’s when I found Bid Wizard and OnScreen Takeoff. Watching the tutorial videos sparked my interest. Using these tools has made my job significantly more productive. What used to take me a week now takes only a few days. After completing a takeoff in OnScreen Takeoff, I simply press a button, and my estimate is essentially done. 99% of the time, Bid Wizard’s estimate aligns within 5% of my spreadsheet calculations. Vince even provided in-person support when we first purchased the software. I’m very happy with my decision to use Bid Wizard and OST

We started using Steel Erection Bid Wizard in 2015 in the competitive NW market. We purchased OST and SEBW as a package to take advantage of OST’s takeoff capabilities and its seamless integration with SEBW. Vince was instrumental in our success. His YouTube tutorials are excellent, and he promptly answered all of our questions. Initially, our bids weren’t successful, but SEBW allowed us to test the market safely and refine our approach. Today, we’ve won several jobs, and our margins are strong! Without SEBW, we wouldn’t have been able to establish our steel erection department.

Shellste Metals, Inc.
Steel Erection Bid Wizard is easy to use and requires minimal training. The program breaks down the erection process into multiple tasks, allowing for precise input of labor, equipment, and overhead costs. Its mark-up feature is especially useful for adjusting estimates to real-world conditions. If you have a solid understanding of your costs, SEBW provides a reliable baseline for estimating. Vince is always responsive and ready to assist.

At first, I regretted purchasing SEBW since we primarily work in miscellaneous metals fabrication. However, I kept revisiting the data and realized how valuable the software could be. I customized tasks and labor rates to fit our needs and now use my own tailored version of SEBW regularly. We’re glad we made the purchase and look forward to future updates!

The integration with OnScreen Takeoff allows me to efficiently perform takeoffs, saving time and money. Transferring information directly into the Bid Wizard helps generate accurate estimates with minimal adjustments. The passionate team at Steel Estimating Solutions has supported me through the integration process and continues to improve the software with the customer’s needs in mind."
Damon King (Estimator/Project Manager)
Red Cedar Steel Erectors Inc.
Steel Erection Bid Wizard has drastically reduced our estimating time, even considering the learning curve. The integration with OST makes adjustments, takeoffs, and schedule changes incredibly easy. This software far surpasses old-school methods in speed and accuracy. We will continue using SEBW as long as we’re in the steel erection business. Vince has been extremely helpful—he typically responds to questions within an hour! Thanks for everything, Vince.
