Structural Steel
AI-powered structural steel takeoff software
Steel takeoffs need beam, column, and connection counts from the framing plans, plus deck and miscellaneous metals from the specs. PreCal-IQ identifies each member from the plans, applies the spec's material grade, and outputs a takeoff your steel detailer can use.
What's included
Every structural steel item, accounted for
- Wide-flange beams by linear foot or tonnage
- Columns by size and floor
- Steel deck by square foot
- Joists and joist girders
- Connection types per the structural notes
Why teams switch
What manual structural steel takeoffs cost you
Missing roof steel because the roof framing plan is on a different sheet from the floor framing
Pricing the wrong steel grade because the structural notes reference an updated AISC standard
