About this Gig
Hi, I'm Engineer Abdul, a certified cost estimator with 9+ years of experience and 2,000+ projects across every CSI division, with deep, hands-on expertise in structural steel takeoff (CSI Division 05).
For steel fabricators and contractors, I know a takeoff needs precise piece counts and connection details, not just square footage.
What's included
- Steel quantities by member type (beams, columns, girders, purlins, bracing), with piece count and tonnage/linear footage breakdown
- Connections (bolts, welds, base plates, gusset plates), metal decking, and steel joists
- Editable Excel spreadsheet, formatted to CSI division or NRM standards, bid-ready
I'm well-versed in the USA's CSI format, the UK's NRM3 and SMM7 measurement rules, and Australia's POMI standard, so international clients receive an estimate formatted the way their market expects.
I work in PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu, and price using RSMeans, Spon's/BCIS, and Rawlinsons cost data, whichever standard matches your project's region.
Send over your plans, and let's discuss the scope of work; I'll turn around an accurate estimate fast. Thanks!

FAQ
What do you need from me to get started?
PDF or CAD drawings and your scope of work — tell me whether you need a full project takeoff or a single trade only, and I'll confirm price and turnaround before starting.
What's your turnaround time?
I'll confirm an exact delivery date after reviewing your drawings and scope — it depends on project size and complexity. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee if you're working to a bid deadline.
What software and pricing data do you use?
PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu for takeoffs, priced with RSMeans, Spon's/BCIS, or Rawlinsons data depending on your region — all kept current.
Do you cover secondary and miscellaneous metals, or just primary structural members?
Primary members (beams, columns, girders, purlins, bracing) are covered from the Small package up; metal decking and steel joists are included starting with Large — tell me your scope and I'll confirm which package fits, or put together a custom offer for a decking/joists-only job.
Do you take off connections, or just member quantities?
Connections (bolts, welds, base plates, gusset plates) are included starting with the Medium package, so the estimate reflects fabrication and erection costs, not just raw steel tonnage.
Do you provide quantities in piece count, tonnage, or linear footage?
Whichever matches how you order or bid — piece count and tonnage for primary members, linear footage for decking and secondary metals — with all quantities broken out by member type.
