Take Offs & Estimating
Fabrication shops and general contractors are forced to pass on numerous projects due to current work load demands and the lack of resources to complete an accurate bid. First, SSD recognizes the importance of not only completing bids, but that their accuracy is paramount. Second, ‘plug numbers’ and missed steel can add up quickly resulting in profit loss.
SSD was established by a fabrication shop estimator so our take off division consists of a unique blend of steel fabrication/erection estimators and detailers. By partnering with SSD to provide take offs, your estimators will be able to increase the amount of bid proposals sent by 30-70%. Click here to see examples of our work.
When you hire SSD to provide a take off, you will receive the following for each job:
- 3D Model Snapshot
- Highlighted bid set
- Excel spreadsheet with a Tekla generated material list
- Cover sheet which provides a scope recap
