METALS ESTIMATING SERVICES

Accurate and detailed, Metals Estimating Services provides industry-leading estimates tailored to optimize your project’s success and efficiency.

Metals Estimating Services at I M Estimators began as a consultancy specializing in steel for contractors, erectors, manufacturers, distributors, and fabricators, evolving into comprehensive pre-construction estimating. Our expert team of structural steel estimators and engineers applies advanced practices to analyze takeoffs, ensuring precise cost control for your project.

We meticulously detail and quantify all structural elements—such as decks, trusses, railings, framing, joists, gratings, and castings—verified by senior estimators to maintain accuracy. This attention to detail not only reduces waste but also promotes environmental sustainability by minimizing onsite material excess and waste disposal.
