INDUSTRIAL STRUCTURAL STEEL ESTIMATING
With the team of estimators and engineers skilled in steel estimation, we have successfully catered many structural steel contractors and design firms involved in the steel erection for multi-story buildings and industrial facilities. By employing the best estimating practices, our estimators prepare the accurate structural steel estimates that not only help in planning, bidding, procurement, but also minimize wastages that contribute to the green environment. Our takeoffs contain the detailed breakdown of all the structural steel design components such as channels, beams, angles, plates, connectors and other accessories to give you a clear picture of costs involved in your project.
We generally quantify the following components:
- Rebar
- Piping
- Roofing
- Siding
- Louvers
- Platforms
- Railings
- Ladders
- Grating

OUR SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO INDUSTRIAL ESTIMATING
The estimation process at MK Estimating starts with the discussion of the estimators and engineers to define the scope of the project. This involves a keen analysis of specifications and plans provided by the client to breakdown the specific elements and identify the process systems and potential missing information. Then by using the latest software, our expert estimator extracts the data from drawing plans, P&IDs,PFDs to quantity each component for labor and material takeoffs.
We employ zip code based pricing for material and labor, using RSMeans and our developed database compiled from world cost data, trade agencies, various vendors, architects, and engineers. All the factors like location, logistics, permits, equipment rentals, contingencies, and various indirect costs are also taken into consideration. At last, a cross-check is performed by the lead estimator to assure that the estimate fully complies with the project goals.In addition to providing the most accurate and reliable cost estimates, we have developed strategic estimating systems to ensure the project runs smoothly within budget and time constraints. This covers the estimating reports for project controls, procurement, contracts, and construction which gets updated throughout the life cycle of the project. Our deliverables include detailed EXCEL spreadsheets in MasterFormat or UniFormat containing material and labor takeoffs along with man-hours. The template can be customized as per the client’s needs.
