WHAT INDUSTRY EXPERTS ARE SAYING ABOUT STEEL GENIE
"Steel Genie is an industry-changing tool for structural steel takeoff. Even during testing, we've seen how it can dramatically accelerate estimating. Once fully integrated into our workflow, we expect it to more than double our estimating throughput."
Steven Tillery
Vice President, Preconstruction & Business Development
"Steel Genie consistently saves us one to two days on smaller projects and dramatically more on larger ones. I completed a full structural takeoff on an 11-story and a 14-story building in just over a week - work that would have taken significantly longer by hand. Even compared to the optimized Bluebeam workflow I'd already built, Steel Genie made us faster."

Take the next step and experience the difference Steel Genie can make for your business.
Estimate Faster. Bid More Work.
Steel Genie converts structural drawings into estimating-ready models, quantities, and connection calculations. This enables fabricators and detailers to evaluate projects faster and prepare bids with significantly less manual work.
Instant Takeoffs
Automatically detect beams, columns, and structural members across drawing sets to eliminate manual counting and measurement.
AI-Generated 3D Models
Generate estimating-ready steel models directly from structural drawings to visualize scope before bidding.
Built-In Connection Logic
Automatically apply AISC LRFD/ASD connection calculations to support more accurate estimating.
Instant Scope Visibility
Quickly understand structural scope, tonnage, and framing layout before committing to a bid.

From two weeks of modeling to about 30 minutes
In an internal comparison on a large industrial steel project, Steel Genie generated an estimating level-structural model in about 30 minutes versus roughly 160 labor hours using a traditional workflow.
How Steel Genie Turns Drawings into Steel Estimates
Steel Genie uses AI to transform structural drawings into estimating-ready steel models and quantities in minutes.
Upload Drawings
Upload structural PDF drawings and Steel Genie scans plans to identify framing systems and structural notes.
Detect Structural Members
AI identifies beams, columns, joists, and structural elements across drawings to generate instant steel takeoff.
Generate 3D Estimating Model
Steel Genie builds an estimating-ready 3D structural model so estimators can visually validate scope before bidding.
Export and Share Results
Export quantities and models to Excel, marked-up PDFs, IFC, Tekla PowerFab, Trimble Connect, SDS2, and Autodesk viewers.
