For General Contractors, Steel Contractors & Subcontractors
Remote Estimation delivers professional North Dakota structural steel estimating services and structural steel takeoff services for general contractors, subcontractors, builders, and developers throughout North Dakota. North Dakota's structural steel market is closely tied to its energy sector — Williston's oil field support infrastructure requiring process structure steel platforms, Bismarck's government and healthcare development, and Fargo's growing commercial and residential corridor creating diverse demand in a state where cold-weather erection specifications are a year-round consideration. Our estimating team prepares bid-ready structural steel takeoffs and cost estimates from your construction drawings and specifications — so North Dakota contractors can bid competitively, win more work, and protect their margins.
Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Our Metals Estimating Services provide detailed quantity calculations and cost analysis prepared directly from structural drawings, fabrication details, and project specifications.
Detailed, itemized takeoff reports with quantities, costs and clear breakdown of flowing materials. Here's a preview of that.
Every report includes color-coded marked plans, itemized quantity sheets, and a full cost summary — delivered in Excel and PDF formats, ready to attach directly to your bid submission.
Our Division 05 takeoffs cover the complete structural steel scope: rolled and fabricated steel members (beams, columns, channels, angles), connections and bolted assemblies, plates (base, gusset, splice), decking and gratings, stairs, handrails, and guardrails, miscellaneous metals, bracing, embeds, and all associated accessories required for complete fabrication and erection execution.
