Services for Rebar And Structural Steel

Making things with metal is a big business, and we need to know precisely how much is needed. If you guess wrong, it will be too much money or insufficient for the project. That’s where our Metal Estimating Services come in!

We’re like metal detectives, and we are good at figuring out exactly how much steel (especially Rebar and structural) is needed for each type of construction project. Whether it’s a bridge, a house, or a big industrial complex–we can do all.

To ensure precision, we rely on spiffing 3D models to understand clearly what needs to be done. That prevents us from making errors in estimates as to how much it will cost and whether we can do the job.

Our estimates are all-inclusive, including everything you’ll buy (materials and accessories) and the cost to assemble them. So, if you’re doing a metal project, we can help you determine the correct quantity and ensure everything runs smoothly.

Rebar And Structural Steel Detailing Services

We develop plans using special computer programs like AutoCAD, Rebar CAD, ASA Microstation, and Tekla. These plans are thus more accessible for construction workers to understand and build large projects.

Because our detailed drawings help builders and metal workers do their work faster, many of them seek us out for assistance. Our team knows how best to arrange the metal bars, and there is not much waste.

We’ve been doing this for a long time, and our drawings are so good that you can trust them to reflect what actual buildings should look like. Trust us to get the job done quickly when you need clearly understood drawings.

So, if you want to save time and ensure that your metal building work goes smoothly, let us prepare the detailed drawings for you. The techniques we use to build things with metal are used under essential rules about how buildings go up.
