Frequently Asked Questions: Structural Steel/Rebar Estimating in Grand Prairie
Do you estimate massive steel roof structures for distribution centers?
Yes, we provide exhaustive takeoffs for the heavy girders, thousands of linear feet of open-web joists, and metal decking.
Can you estimate the erection of Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMB)?
Absolutely. We estimate the complex concrete foundations, anchor bolts, and the heavy equipment labor to erect the steel.
Do you estimate steel connections?
Unless fully detailed shop drawings are provided, connections are typically estimated as a percentage of the main member weight (often 5-10%). If specific heavy moment connections are detailed, we will calculate the plate steel and bolts directly.
Can you provide a rebar barlist?
We provide a detailed estimate of rebar weights by size (which is what you need for bidding). We do not produce the final fabrication shop drawings or the cut-and-bend barlist used by the fabrication shop.
Can you provide takeoffs for tilt-wall industrial projects in Grand Prairie?
Absolutely. We specialize in industrial estimating, providing accurate takeoffs for massive concrete pours, tilt-wall panels, structural steel, and loading dock equipment.
