What's New in Steel Genie: Estimate Structural Steel Up to 50% Faster
- THURSDAY, NOV 5, 2026 | 10:00 AM (CST)
Manually reviewing drawings, measuring and counting steel, and re-entering takeoff data can limit how many bids your team completes. Steel Genie combines AI-powered drawing review, automated takeoff, and connected workflows to accelerate structural steel estimating by up to 50%, helping your team spend less time on repetitive work and more time pursuing opportunities.
What you'll learn:
- Assess project scope and identify drawing changes with less manual review.
- Complete takeoffs up to 10× faster, including more of the miscellaneous steel that takes time to count by hand.
- Build 3D estimating models up to 5× quicker, with less manual modeling of complex geometry.
- Keep labor and takeoff data connected across Tekla PowerFab, Strumis, and Bluebeam Studio to reduce re-entry and rework.
