Material estimating and quoting capabilities of LGSF (Light Gauge Steel Framing)

In construction, efficiency and control over outcomes are key. A business that can maximize material yield, assure quality in every project phase, and quickly achieve compliance is poised to create a good end result.

Stratus Steel LGS frames and the FRAMECAD system deliver high-quality project estimations and result in excellent construction.

However, the benefits of accurate estimating and quoting go beyond just cost savings... In this blog, we discuss those benefits.

The consistency of the quoting and tender process across all projects and staff members

Because of unique engineering, early in the design process, the CFS design software gives full visibility into the building envelope and key construction assemblies, as well as other essential large-scale elements. From this broad overview, decisions can be quickly made from rough quantity estimates and a plain sense of project scope.?

Develop an understanding of what variables can win or lose a quote

The LGSF technology paired with FrameCad softwares allows professionals to make accurate projections for every aspect of a project. It offers greater accuracy in estimations and quoting thereby reducing the change of error and a faster overall process.

These are the variables that can really make or break a quote. The more efficient your business is at quoting projects as proposed, the stronger your client relationships will be, and the more projects you'll win.?

Understand the business sales margin

Quoting and estimating with Light gauge steel renders better quality control.? With the offsite prefabrication of LGSF components to exact measurements, foundation work and other important skilled labor can proceed smoothly.

When assembled framing parts arrive on site, they are ready to be installed.?This insight gives you a better understanding of your sales margin, allowing you to make better business decisions.

Allocation of resources, including staff, materials and external providers?

Building with LGSF makes it simpler to make projections for every aspect of a project, including material, labor costs, and overall scope. The precision of quantity take-offs and cost estimates will remain flawless throughout the lifecycle of any project.

Better project and job scheduling

Project timelines can be shortened substantially with LGSF. With concurrent onsite and offsite work and lesser human errors throughout the project, firms can promise a better, more efficient workflow and faster completion.

All of these benefits make it clear: cold-formed steel gives you the ability to quote and estimate costs with greater confidence. Material take-offs that specify structural LGSF show the material to be a true asset in efficiency and cost savings.??
