Why Choose Edcon for Estimating

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

We don’t just price your 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

All Microsoft format and preferably PDF 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 performs an independent take off of the structural steel, 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 staged delivery options. We also review constructability and attempt to flag anything that might create issues later. We’ll follow up with you 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 outlines inclusions and exclusions line-by-line with clearly listed materials, coatings, fabrication, installation, cranage and delivery.  You’ll receive a structured document that’s easy to review internally, forward to stakeholders, or pass straight into the next phase.

Sydney and its surrounds have some beautiful, and secluded areas, and this adds to the issues with logistics of getting heavy and long items delivered and installed.  We will identify these issues and attempt to offer you solutions.  All of our optional services such as site survey, fire rating and architectural elements or finishes are confirmed — so you can build a package that fits your project, without paying for items you don’t need.

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.
