Sound familiar?

You get tonnes and a spec, and price in square metres.

Section sizes and lengths turned into m² of surface, split by system, plus blast, stripe coats and touch-up, then access and inspection per structure. Days per job, redone each steel revision.

What you get back

Three steps. The last one is yours.

  1. 01

    Drop in the steel set and spec

    General arrangements, member schedules or shop drawings, the coating spec and any access notes, as sent.

  2. 02

    Get back areas by member and system

    Members by mark, section and length. Surface area in m² by system and coat, working shown. Blast, stripe coats and touch-up apart.

  3. 03

    Your estimator decides

    It flags a member with no section, an unused spec system, an area from an assumed length. They settle shop or site, then sign off.

FAQ

Questions coatings businesses ask.

Have you set this up for a business like ours?

Not a coatings business yet. The core runs for every trade: it measures with a sheet on every line, shows its working and prices from your rates.

Does it read our drawing types?

Yes. General arrangements, member schedules, shop drawings and coating specs, as PDF. Given only a tonnage and a spec, it works from the sections it finds.

Will it use our rates?

Yes. Your m² rates by system, blast rates and hourly access and inspection rates, with consumables as an allowance. Missing rates show MISSING, never zero.

Does it work out steel surface areas?

From your rule. Section and length come off the schedule; m² per metre for each section is the figure you give at setup. Every derived line shows the working.
