1. Faster Bidding & Quoting
By using a visual model to drive quantity and cost estimates, EstiModiling significantly speeds up the preparation of bid packages and project proposals.

2. Increased Accuracy
All material quantities and dimensions are extracted directly from the 3D model, ensuring a much higher level of accuracy than manual take-offs.

3. Early Clash Detection
Identifying potential design or structural conflicts early in the process saves time, reduces risk, and avoids costly changes during fabrication or erection.

4. Better Budget Control
With clear insight into material weights, surface areas (for painting or galvanizing), and fabrication complexity, you can better forecast actual costs and avoid financial surprises.

5. Smarter Decision-Making
Owners and contractors can explore multiple design or connection options and immediately assess how they impact material usage, cost, and constructibility.

6. Optimized Material Procurement
The material list generated helps procurement teams order exactly what’s needed—no more, no less—reducing waste and saving money.

✔️ 3D BIM Model
A lightweight but detailed 3D model showing beams, columns, connections, and miscellaneous steel items—ideal for coordination and visual understanding.

✔️ Material Take-offs (MTOs)
Accurate quantities of steel components categorized by type, section, and length, including bolt counts, weld lengths, and plate sizes.

✔️ Weight & Surface Area Reports
Total steel weight and surface areas for each member—crucial for transportation planning, painting, and galvanizing calculations.

✔️ Labor Estimations
Detailed projections of fabrication and erection man-hours based on connection complexity and steel member types.

✔️ Cost Estimation Reports
Optional cost analysis using local or client-provided rates for steel, labor, transportation, and coating.

✔️ Clash Detection Summary (if applicable)
A report identifying any spatial or design conflicts between steel members and other building systems (e.g., HVAC, electrical, etc.).

• ✅ Quick Turnaround: We understand the tight deadlines of the bidding process and deliver accurate models and reports on time.

• ✅ Experienced Team: Our detailers understand both fabrication and real-world construction workflows, which makes our models highly practical and relevant.

• ✅ Value Engineering Support: We can suggest alternate connection types, steel profiles, or design changes to improve cost-efficiency without compromising quality.

• ✅ Seamless Transition to Detailing: Once your project is awarded, we can quickly evolve the EstiModel into a full shop drawing package—saving even more time.
