Estimation Overview

The estimating process starts by entering the job’s steel components on the Material Sheet.  These elements are arranged in groups with headings, e.g. Columns, Beams, Eaves, etc.  As data is entered, the estimator may chose to manually type the name of the part or to use the Part Selection dialog box to select the desired item.  The corresponding material data is located in the Parts Database and transferred to the Material Sheet.  Once the steel takeoff is complete, the estimator moves on to the Buyout Sheet.
