Structural Steel & Miscellaneous Metals Estimating

Division 5 Estimating LLC is an independent professional takeoff and cost-estimation firm specializing in CSI MasterFormat Division 5 work — structural steel, miscellaneous metals, and all related ironwork. With over 30 years of hands-on industry experience, we deliver the precision and speed that fabricators, erectors, and general contractors need to win competitive bids.

What We Do

We provide complete quantity takeoffs and detailed cost breakdowns for wide-flange beams, HSS tube sections, steel plate, angles, channels, and connections. Our scope covers all Division 5 line items: open-web joists, metal roof and floor decking, stairs, ladders, handrails, railings, grating, canopies, lintels, and specialty fabricated assemblies. From a single-story light-gauge project to a complex multi-story high-rise, we handle projects of every size and complexity.

Serving Fabricators, Erectors, and General Contractors

Our clients range from small regional fabrication shops to national erectors and large general contracting firms. Because we are fully independent, our bids carry no conflict of interest — you receive an objective, accurate estimate every time. We specialize in reading and interpreting structural drawings, specifications, and addenda, so you never miss a scope item or expose yourself to costly change orders.

Fast Turnaround and Strict Confidentiality

We understand that bid deadlines wait for no one. Our standard turnaround is 24 to 48 hours for most projects, with rush options available. All project documents — drawings, specs, and pricing — are handled with absolute confidentiality. We never share your information with competitors or outside parties. Formal NDAs are available on request before you submit any materials.
