Steel Erection Estimating Software

Steel erection pricing rides on tonnage and piece count. You read the framing plans and the schedule, identify every column, beam, joist, and brace, total the weight to tonnage, then count the connections — bolted and welded — that drive the field labor before you can price the crew and the crane. The same tonnage erects at wildly different rates depending on piece count and connection type, so a job priced on weight alone misses where the hours actually go. Miss a run of bar joists or the moment connections at a frame line and the crew-day count is wrong from the start. P2P reads the structural drawings and schedules, identifies the members, totals the tonnage, and counts the connections by type. It separates columns, beams, and joists, ties piece count and connections to the field labor and crane time you set, and prices the erection against your own rates — so you can bid a building frame or a miscellaneous steel package in minutes instead of a day counting members off the drawings.
