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.
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.
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!
