Instant feel, senior judgment
AI tightens the takeoff in the moment — while shop-real MH/T and steel process rules keep every ton and hour accountable.
Structural steel estimating for fabricators
Structural steel estimating that gets smarter with every bid.
Quant is the estimating system for structural steel shops. Live tons, MH/T, and shop labor refine W-shapes, plates, and connections as you take them off — so the next bid starts sharper than the last.

How Quant works
Built for structural steel — and smarter every time you bid.
Most tools store a spreadsheet. Quant learns from the steel you’ve already fabricated — historic MH/T, team capacity, and win/loss — so the next takeoff starts ahead of the last.
- 01
Shop data on every takeoff
Historic MH/T, estimator load, and the bid calendar sit on the same steel takeoff — W-shapes, plates, and connections priced as you enter them.
- 02
Instant steel-aware analysis
Quant reads the estimate as you build it — flags spec risk, checks labor against shop history, and refines scope before the number goes to the GC.
- 03
A number the shop can hold
Production-backed tons and hours cut rework after award — so you win more structural steel work and protect the margin you bid.
The shop
Everything a steel estimator needs — in one loop.
From live takeoff totals to team workload and shop history — Quant is the operating system for structural steel estimating. Drag the labor fingerprint. The other views are the real product.
Quant Labor Fingerprint. Each bubble is labeled in man-hours per ton. Drag a bubble to move it.
MH/T = man-hours per ton. Drag a process.
See where the shop hours go.
Each number is man-hours per ton for that shop process. Weld, fit, cut, and the rest of the fab shop drift and collide. Drag one.

Estimator workload tracking
See which estimator is loaded on which steel bid, what’s due, and where capacity opens — before the schedule breaks.
Historic labor intelligence
MH/T and process times from steel you’ve already fabricated refine suggestions on the next W-shape, plate, or connection.
Win-rate & bid discipline
Track what you win, what you leave, and why — so structural steel strategy isn’t a gut call every Friday.
Grows with the shop
More estimators, more projects, more history — Quant scales as a fabrication-team system, not a single-user spreadsheet.
Intelligent advantage
Win more structural steel. Spend less time proving the number.
Accuracy that protects the win
Fewer surprises after award. Estimates that hold in the fab shop raise confidence with GCs and protect your structural steel margin.
Speed without the scramble
Workload visibility, the bid calendar, and reuse of historic steel labor cut the hours between IFC and a number you trust.
