Why Choose Edcon for Estimating

At Edcon, structural steel estimating services form the foundation of every well-planned build.

We don’t just price materials — we interpret your drawings, understand your scope, and quote with the outcome in mind.

Each structural steel estimate is backed by our in-house team of estimators, drafters, and logistics coordinators, ensuring every item aligns with your specifications, timeline, and phase.

Whether it’s a single beam or a staged structural package, we scope and price exactly what’s needed — with precision,.

Our Quoting & Estimating Process

1.Send Us Your Drawings

PDF, CAD or DXF files are welcome. You can send structural plans, take-offs, or schedules — we’ll review them directly without needing to convert or reformat. Our team checks the documents for consistency, formatting issues, and missing data points, helping to catch potential problems before they become delays. The more accurate the input, the stronger the estimate.

2. We Review + Scope

Our estimators assess every detail: quantities, material types, coating requirements, and phased delivery options. We also review constructability and flag anything that might create issues later. We’ll follow up if details are unclear or incomplete before finalising the estimate. This reduces rework and keeps your build planning on track.

“Every estimate we send out is reviewed, structured, and aligned with the way you plan and stage your project — from spec sheets to site sequencing. We quote like we’re the next team building it. Because most days, we are.”

3. You Receive a Clear Quote

Our final quote is broken down line-by-line with clearly listed materials, coatings, fabrication, and delivery costs. You’ll receive a structured document that’s easy to review internally, forward to stakeholders, or pass straight into the next phase.

Optional services such as coatings or delivery are itemised separately — so you can build a package that fits your project, without paying for what you don’t need.

“We don’t just list steel and add it up — we cross-check constructability, catch gaps early, and quote based on how your build will actually unfold on site.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to provide to get an estimate from Edcon?

You’ll need to send through your structural plans, schedules, or DXF/CAD files. The more detail included, the more accurate and complete your estimate will be.

Can Edcon break down the estimate into stages or delivery phases?

Yes. We can structure your estimate by phase, install order, or delivery schedule — perfect for large builds or staged construction timelines.

Are coatings, welding, or logistics included in the quote?

They can be — we quote these as optional add-ons so you can compare and customise the estimate to suit your project needs.

How does Edcon ensure estimating accuracy?

We quote directly from your drawings and cross-check quantities, materials, and constructability. If anything’s unclear or missing, we’ll raise it early before fabrication begins.
