HCW Building Estimation System
This Estimation System calculates material and cut length to build weld-together steel buildings that utilize I beam or square tubing columns, I beam clearspan truss members that are designed to be placed on top of the columns, bypass roof cee purlins, flush mounted wall girt cee purlins with options for framed openings for windows and overhead doors, lean-tos, partition walls, and interior wall liners. If you need a weld up material estimation - you’ve come to the right place!

The Basics
-
Small to mid-sized weld-up steel building companies, steel yards, contractor supply companies.
-
Simply put: time is money. In our years of experience we couldn't find a solution to streamline quoting, ordering, fabricating, and erecting Weld-up Standard Clearspan Trussed Buildings.
-
You'll answer some questions and enter dimensions on a user-friendly Google Form, and The System can quantify your entire Weld-up Standard Clearaspan Trussed Building project. You will get a complete weldup building material take off list!
-
We offer a per-use pricing model that is significantly less than you would pay an hourly employee to complete the same task. We also offer member pricing for multiple uses.
More Details
-
To provide the small to mid-sized weld-up steel building companies a quick, cost effective service for estimating, quoting, ordering, fabricating, and erecting steel buildings.
-
our own need for a solution to streamline our operations and become more efficient. Finding no existing program that suited our needs, we developed this System. Recognizing the immense value of this tool, we have refined it to service your needs.
-
quoting, ordering, fabricating, and erecting Weld-up Standard Clearspan Trussed Buildings with options for framed openings for windows and Overhead doors, lean-tos, partition walls, and interior wall liners. This System has been designed to accurately create material take-offs, estimate material costs, compute material cut dimensions, and to create accurate material orders.
-
on a Google Form, the HCW Steel Building Estimation System can quantify your entire Weld-up Standard Building project. The building information that you provide will be automatically submitted to our office. Our highly qualified staff will process your submission through the System and return weldup building material take off reports within (2) business days.
-
and we understand how much time is required to create accurate building estimates, quotes, orders and shop plans. We also know that TIME IS MONEY! This System is designed to eliminate hand calculation errors, and save your company time by calculating building information for you. The entire process to enter and submit all building data can take place in a matter of minutes. The goal is to help you get accurate and professional looking information back to your customer quickly. Also with more precise ordering, your company will save time and energy correcting ordering mistakes. This System may become one of the most valuable tools you can possess.

use a mobile device or computer.
-
The System is designed to calculate take offs. It figures the exact length of each necessary component for the building and determine what stock material length each member should be cut from in order to have the least amount of waste.
-
All submitted projects and their reports will be organized, stored and available for modifications, in the event you need to revise or revisit a past job.
