Accelerate steel takeoffs without surrendering judgment.
Accelerate structural steel material takeoffs without removing estimator judgment from the workflow. VizeEst automates repetitive counting and measurement tasks while keeping the estimator in control of final quantities, material grades, and connection assumptions.
- Faster steel takeoffs
- Automated quantity extraction
- Estimator-controlled output
Move faster with fewer takeoff doubts.
Manual steel takeoffs require estimators to trace every beam, column, brace, and plate across dozens of drawing sheets, a tedious process where errors compound silently. VizeEst accelerates this by automatically detecting and cataloging structural members from plan and elevation drawings, presenting quantities for estimator review and adjustment.
From drawing sheet to organized BOM in minutes.
VizeEst’s takeoff engine processes uploaded structural drawings through its AIIR Fusion™ pipeline, identifying W-shapes, HSS sections, channels, angles, and plate callouts. Each detected member is mapped to its drawing location, tagged with extracted dimensions, and organized into a preliminary bill of materials (BOM). The estimator reviews, adjusts, and finalizes, cutting hours of manual counting down to minutes of informed validation.
Bid on more projects without adding headcount.
For steel fabrication shops running lean estimating teams, takeoff speed directly impacts bid volume and revenue opportunity. By reducing the manual effort per takeoff, VizeEst enables estimators to pursue more bids per week without sacrificing accuracy or burning out experienced team members. This is not about replacing estimators, it is about giving them leverage.
