A South Carolina structural steel fabricator quoted a 6,400 sqft pre-engineered warehouse shell for a logistics company. The package included main rigid frames, endwall frames, purlins, girts, and all connections — approximately 60 tons of steel. The GC wanted a single line-item breakdown that separated primary framing from secondary members and erection. IronKit generated the complete bid in 15 minutes with clear categories. The fabricator said the biggest time-saver was the automatic connection hardware calculation — counting clips and bolts for 60 tons of steel usually takes half a day.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a $62K warehouse steel quote?
Primary rigid frames, endwall framing, purlins, girts, all base plates and connections, shop fabrication, field erection, primer, and hardware. Panels, foundations, and engineering are excluded.
How does IronKit price 60 tons of steel?
IronKit uses per-member pricing based on weight, section size, and length — then adds shop labor, field erection, and primer as separate line items. The subtotal is marked up for overhead (12%) and profit (15%).
Can IronKit handle pre-engineered metal building quotes?
Yes. You can enter rigid frame specs, bay spacing, and eave height. IronKit generates the full member schedule and cost estimate. It does not produce engineering calculations — those require a PE.
