Take Offs
Our take off division is utilized by fabrication and erecting company estimators interested in producing more bids. This division is led by a team of steel estimators who model each project using Tekla. From this model, our customers receive a 3D snapshot of the steel, a take-off report, and a markup of the contract drawings to easily identify the steel picked up. CopperState Steel Detailing’s (CSD) take off division has grown faster than any other department due to the value and benefit/cost ratio. Hiring CSD to produce your take off will come at a very competitive rate. However, a customer who hires us to detail the same awarded project will be credited back the cost of the take off service making it free of charge.

CopperState Steel Detailing’s (CSD) design team consists of (8) designers and (3) engineers with current licenses in over 46 states. Projects all over the U.S. have a growing requirement for connection design being deferred by EOR/AOR design teams.

Not only do our customers avoid longer lead times, but they also benefit from a reduced cost of having CSD’s detailing and engineering teams collaborating under the same roof.
