STEEL ESTIMATING
Estimate the requirement, not just the visible line items.
Estimating support connects quantities, material basis, fabrication or processing assumptions, documentation, delivery and unresolved scope into a usable commercial view.
CONTROL FLOW
Turn fragmented information into a decision basis.
01
Define scope
Identify what is actually being estimated and what sits outside the basis.
02
Normalize quantities
Keep units, grade, finish, lengths and product families consistent.
03
Expose assumptions
Separate confirmed requirements from allowances and missing information.
04
Support pricing
Build a basis that can be compared, revised and carried forward without losing context.
CONTROL PRINCIPLES
Precision without invented certainty.
Do not mix confirmed scope with allowances without labeling it.
Keep delivered vs FOB basis explicit.
Revision changes should trigger re-estimation where material.
Estimator output should feed pricing memory after the outcome is known.
Send the current files and requirement.
Trillick can identify what is known, what is missing and what needs to be controlled next.
