Estimation

OVERVIEW

Detailed quantity surveys and cost estimates derived directly from engineered models. Know your bill of materials before fabrication starts.

Accurate estimation is the foundation of profitable LGS construction. SYSOL's estimation service extracts precise material quantities directly from our structural and detailing models — not from rough rules of thumb. Every coil gauge, member length, fastener type, and bridging component is counted and costed, giving you a bill of materials (BOM) you can trust before a single coil is loaded onto the roll-former. We go beyond simple material take-offs by providing comparative cost analyses between LGS and traditional Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) or hot-rolled steel alternatives. These side-by-side breakdowns help developers, contractors, and financiers evaluate the total cost of ownership — including reduced foundation loads, faster erection timelines, and lower on-site labor requirements that CFS framing delivers. Every estimate includes steel weight summaries by gauge and grade, fastener and connection hardware counts, projected labor hours based on historical production data, and freight cost assumptions for material sourcing. Our custom Excel models are fully transparent and auditable, so your procurement team can verify every line item before issuing purchase orders.
