Sound familiar?
Every piece is a material list and a labour guess.
Balustrades, stairs, brackets and platforms, each a different mix of plate, section, mesh and fixings. Material comes off the detail by hand, hours from memory, galvanising as another line. Then the detail changes.
What you get back
Three steps. The last one is yours.
- 01
Drop in the shop drawings
Shop drawings, details, elevations, the architect’s details and finishes schedule, and the spec. A revision only redoes the changed sheets.
- 02
Get back the piece list
Plate by thickness in m², sections by size in metres, mesh and fixings as counts, coating in m². Shop hours per piece from your rules.
- 03
Your estimator decides
What won’t fabricate as drawn, shop and site labour, coating and material prices. They answer the flagged items and sign the price off.

FAQ
Questions fabrication businesses ask.
Have you set this up for a business like ours?
Not for a fabricator yet. We set it up on your completed jobs first, with your rules for material and shop hours, and compare with the quotes you sent.
Does it read our drawing types?
Yes. Shop drawings, fabrication and architectural details, elevations, finishes schedules and the spec, as PDF. CAD exported to PDF is fine. Scale is proved from printed dimensions.
Will it use our rates?
Yes. Material per kilogram or metre, labour by operation, coating per m² and margin sit in your own workbook. A missing rate reads MISSING, never a zero.
Can it price shop labour by piece?
Yes, by the rules you set: hours for cutting, welding and assembly by piece type and size. Each hours line shows its rule, so your estimator can change it.
