Estimating Projects      

Upon request IDS does perform estimating projects for our clients. IDS will take the design drawings and model the structural steel and apply connections to provide the client with a take-off of the material in the model. If miscellaneous is required, IDS can model this as well and break this out separately. We utilize SDS2 or Tekla and can export various file types for use in Fabsuite, Fabtrol, or many other softwares that take KSS, XSR, or other file formats from our modeling programs. Along with this, a 3D PDF file can be provided for our customer's use in bidding the job to show the model to their prospective customer.
