DISCLAIMER

The information contained within the data files of this software have been primarily
derived from the AISC Journal 1. The “Steel Supply Costs” (Appendix A1 of AISC Journal)
has been updated to reflect the current availability and relative costs.

This “Designer” Edition of STEELestimator is intended to provide users with a tool to

produce a guide to the relative costs for various construction options. If absolute values
are required then the “Fabricator” or “Fabricator Pro” edition should be used by a suitably
qualified estimator to produce the cost estimate.

Users of this version should note that:

A) The values provided do not include any GST
B) The values provided are averaged national values and therefore vary from region to
region and from fabricator to fabricator.
C) Attention must be given to the particular circumstances and conditions of the project
for which the steelwork is being estimated.

While every effort has been made to ensure that the accuracy of the information provided
in this software, neither the software developers, its agents and distributors in any way
accept the liability for the loss of any kind resulting from the use of such information.

 INTRODUCTION

To remain competitive in the global market, a business must use all the information it can
to gain a competitive edge.

STEELestimator is a computer based software package which will assist some segments
of the steel industry to adopt IT systems which can dramatically streamline the costing of
steelwork from feasibility through to completion.

STEELestimator enables the end user to cost steelwork using a Rational Costing Method
(RCM). This method involves the storage, retrieval and manipulation of a vast amount of
detailed data at a higher level.

By considering all the individual costs associated with the construction of the steel
structure, STEELestimator is able to produce a rational and accurate estimate of the cost
of steelwork.
 RCM

WHAT IS IT?

A Rational Costing Method (RCM) was developed and published by BHP, in conjunction
with AISC in 1996 in response to the need to construct more economical steel structures.

The publication called “Steel Construction - Costing of Steelwork From Feasibility

Through to Completion” has been supplied by BHP on the STEELestimator CD ROM for
your convenience.

The Rational Costing Method addresses the following five key needs:

· Simple to understand;
· Reliable and more accurate;
· Consistent in approach from initial project costing to fabricator’s detailed
costing;
· A clear focus on the elements which have a significant effect on the final cost;
and
· Able to determine and account for contract variations.

The methodology divides the costs into four main components:

· Steel supply
· Fabrication (Shop)
· Surface treatment
· Erection (Field)

For any steel member, each of the component costs can be determined from the cost data
table and summed to provide the total erection cost.

WHY IS RCM A BETTER METHOD?

Traditional methods used to estimate the erection cost of steelwork for a project are
usually calculated on a cost per tonne basis.

Though measuring the quantity of steel and multiplying it by a rate is a simple way to
estimate, it relies on the skill of the estimator and carries some risk.

Steel supply costs are typically only forty percent of the total steelwork, while the
remaining sixty percent is derived from shop detailing, fabricators, surface protection and
erection which are more difficult to quantify. As a result contingencies have to be added
which makes the price of steelwork less competitive.

WHAT ROLE DOES STEELestimator PLAY?

Although the philosophy of the RCM is both rational and simple, the amount of data
requiring manipulation is considerable and this factor has greatly inhibited its adoption by
the construction industry.

Recent developments in IT have allowed large amounts of data to be stored, retrieved and
manipulated quite routinely.

STEELestimator utilises these developments to implement the philosophy of the RCM,

making what was once a rigorous task of producing an accurate cost estimate, a fast and
simple one.
 STEELestimator OVERVIEW

STEELestimator comes in three editions to suit the end users needs. They include:

· Designer
· Fabricator
· Fabricator Pro

This document concentrates on the “Designer” version and does not explore the extensive
depth of the Fabricator editions.

In brief, the version contains the following features.

DESIGNER
Designer was developed to provide a useful tool to engineers, quantity surveyors and
design professionals to obtain accurate costings based on industry average pricing as
published by the AISC and BHP at various times.

The Designer version is generally distributed freely throughout the industry to encourage
the use of the RCM for improved costings.

Cost of material and other resources are not editable within Designer restricting the end
user to use predefined date tables when creating job costing.

An extensive range of material and fabrication items are supplied with STEELestimator
allowing you to be productive in minutes.

FABRICATOR
Fabricator is a fully featured edition of STEELestimator designed for a single user.

You can create your own intelligent fabricated items formed from purchased items and
actions driven by a resource.

Enter in your prices and cost for every area of your business and manage access through
a four level security system.

FABRICATOR PRO
The main difference is that Pro has been developed for use over a Wide Area Network or
Local Area Network using a multi user SQL server.

This product is well suited for large fabricators where more than one person is working on
a project.
 UPDATE & REGISTRATION

Over time the rates and prices incorporated in the Designer edition will become outdated.
For this reason Engineering Software Solutions will make available through the internet
updated data tables.

To be advised of updates we recommend you register your software and check our
website regularly.

Visit www.ess.com.au for registration and updates.

Alternatively you can print the registration form located in the “Docs” folder on the CD
ROM.

To minimise the problems with software being used after its use by date the Designer
edition has a limited life of twelve months from date of installation.
 HOW STEELestimator WORKS

STEELestimator can be thought of as a set of simple data entry dialog forms that sorts
information into one of two main databases.

These databases are called:

Global - Contains your companies standard rates and prices along with a register of
project and client information.

In the case of the Designer version it contains the predefined average rates
published by BHP and AISC.

Project - The project database contains data that is relevant to a project.

This may include a copy of the Global rates for modification at the project level
only, along with the project estimate data called the Activity Table.

The following illustration provides a systematic view of STEELestimator and how data is
exchanged and manipulated.
The rectangular box generally indicates a range of dialog boxes in the software to view or
enter data from the database (cylindrical shapes).

The oval symbols represent the logical process of combining data and generating
calculations.

The last items are the two report sections on the right side of the chart. Reports can be
produced from the core data such as standard rates while the Activity Reports are created
using the estimated takeoff date created in the Activity Table.

All areas of the software are accessible from within STEELestimator except for Designer
which has limited access to the Global database.

This means that you will not be able to add or modify existing industry based rates.
 GETTING HELP

Throughout STEELestimator you will find a help button located in the bottom right corner
of each dialog box or from the pull down menu.

Help is sensitive to your current task and will provide help on that task when launched
from a dialog box.

The online help covers every section of STEELestimator and in addition, support and
estimating concepts.
 STARTING A PROJECT

As a user of the STEELestimator Designer version you need to enter some basic
information about the project and the companies involved. Hint - Use the online help for
assistance.

STEP 1 - ENTER COMPANY DETAILS

Select the company option under the Global menu option.

Add all companies and contact information that you will be involved with during the
project.

Once you have entered them, they will be available on subsequent projects.

STEP 2 - CREATE A NEW PROJECT

From the file menu select “New Project” and enter a unique project code to create a new
project database.

STEP 3 - PROJECT INFORMATION

Once the project database has been created you will be prompted to provide a title and
client to the project.

Investigate the tab option and complete as required.

You can always return to the dialog form by going to the file menu option and selecting
“Modify Project”.

STEP 4 - CREATE ZONE

Zone allows you to break the project into manageable sections of work for reporting and
cost breakdowns.

In addition, zone contains default information that is saved with each fabricated item into
the Activity Table.

To add a zone select “Zones” from the project menu.

STEP 5 - TAKEOFF USING FORMS

STEELestimator contains a number of special data templates called Activity Forms.

Essentially each form provides a simple and quick method of describing each aspect of a
project for fabrication.

The detailed content of the forms are then saved to the Activity Table providing a
comprehensive costing of all work and supplied items.
Note: The data provided with STEELestimator is based on the AISC publication called
“Costing of Steelwork From Feasibility Through to Completion” and as such is basic in its
detail.

The Fabricator edition allows for various detail and multi level bills of work and materials to
be entered.

The current form includes:

· Members for the detailing of beams and columns

· Fabrication of other components or detailing of resource
· Cladding/decking for sheeting work

Each form allows for an identification code and description such as a drawing number.

Use the online help for assistance.

STEP 6 - VIEWING DATA

After entering data in any of the forms you can view the detailed data through the Activity
Form.

The form provided allows you to view takeoff data associated with the project.

A filter section is provided to quickly locate search data for viewing or modification.
Information can be added, deleted or modified as required through the use of the edit
button.

Data can be displayed in various formats for easier viewing.

STEP 7 - REPORTING
A large number of predefined Activity Reports are provided and can be viewed and/or
printed.

It’s that simple and after you become familiar with STEELestimator you’re able to review
your project in more details than ever before.
 TERMS

To gain a sound understanding of STEELestimator it is important that you begin to

understand how data is used and the meaning of the terms.

For this reason we recommend that you enter the online help and read the various parts
associated with “Using STEELestimator”.
 IS THE DESIGNER EDITION FOR ME?

The Designer edition of STEELestimator has some very limiting features with the most
obvious being the capability to modify, add or delete stock items, resource and action.

If you are from an organisation that needs to price steelwork up using your own standard
processes then you need the Fabricator edition.

You can place an order by simply contacting Engineering Software Solutions at:

1-5 Hawke Street, Albert Park, South Australia, 5014

Phone 08 8241 0575, Fax 08 8241 0070

or

Email ess@ess.com.au

However, if you only need to perform accurate estimates using average industry rates the
Designer version will generally meet your needs.
 BACKGROUND IMAGE

You can change the background image of STEELestimator to suit your personal
preference.

Simply create a BITMAP file called “logo.bmp” and copy it to the STEELestimator
directory. Next time you start STEELestimator the background will have changed.

The image will scale to fit the window size.

 TRAINING

 SIMPLE TUTORIAL

This tutorial has been designed to get you up and running quickly using the basic
command sets within STEELestimator.

Project details:

·Project Code = Simple01

·Title = Simple Project
·Client = First Company Pty Ltd

We shall assume that this project has two clearly defined scope of work (Zones) begin:

·Warehouse building with a Zinc Silicate surface treatment and shop detailing work
based on a fabrication time (Ratio 5 to 1)
·Office building with a Zinc Silicate surface treatment and shop detailing work
based on a fabrication time (Ratio 2 to 1)

We shall also assume that this project will use members with a mass of less then
60.5kg/m.

ADD CLIENT DETAILS

To add a client or other company records select “Global” from the menu and then the
“Companies” option. Once the “review Companies” dialog is displayed, click on the “Add”
button to create a new company record.

Enter the client code as ‘FIRST01’ and a company name ‘ First Company Pty Ltd’.

Ensure that the client role tick box is selected to identify this entry as a client.
Note that there are a range of roles that can be identified for a company, and multiple
roles can be selected for the one company.

In addition you may wish to enter some contact names at the First Company Pty Ltd.

CREATING A NEW PROJECT

To create a new project we need to select “File” from the menu and then “New Project”.

We shall call our project ‘Simple Project’ with a code ‘simple01’.

Note: The database is automatically named.

Be aware that you have the ability to transfer this file to someone else using this software
by using the export & import functions.

Note: In the designer edition there is limited ability to manipulate the global or project
information that has been provided, however in the Fabricator editions, the export function
would be used for maintaining historical data in the project file, even if the global database
was changed.
After creating the project database the “Add/Modify Project” dialog form is displayed.

Now enter the project titled ‘Simple Project’ and a 10% GST rate.

Note: To get to this at any time select “File”

“modify Project” or the button next to the
project name and select the ‘Simple Project’

Select the “Transport” tab and add some

rates from our generic transport company.

(You can add a specific transport company using the “Global” and “Companies” box with
the role of transport ticked.)

Note that there are two transport rates, one direct to site, and one to the painters then on
to site.

The price to the painter is usually more expensive as it has two loading/unloading
components, and may not necessarily be a direct route.
CREATING ZONE

We will now define the appropriate project breakdown (Zones) and appropriate surface
treatment and detailing specifications.

Select “Project”, “Zones” and you will have a dialogue box as above. Press the “Add”
button to detail the Zones with the following information.

Warehouse building (Code WAREHOUSE) with a Zinc Silicate surface treatment and
shop detailing work based on a fabrication time (Ratio 5 to 1).
Office building (Code OFFICE) with a Zinc Silicate surface treatment and shop detailing
work based on a fabrication time (Ratio 2 to 1).

DETAILING OUR PROJECT

Before we start detailing this project, select the Warehouse zone from the toolbar. By
selecting a Zone, all of the relevant information defined in the Zone will be copied into
each of the appropriate Activity records. In addition, the detailing time and surface
treatment area will be automatically calculated and entered as separate Activity records.

Now we will define the Member.

This is done by selecting the icon button of the ‘I’ beam.

Enter an identification code (Mark Number or Member ID), description and quantity of six.

Then select the section type eg 200UB22.3G300 and specified a 10m length.

To this section, you will add two penetrations and connections.

To add the penetrations, click on the penetration tab and select the penetration type and
quantity per section as shown.
The right and left fabrications can then be selected as shown. We have selected a web
side plate for the right connection, and a square cut on the right end of the section.

We have selected a moment haunch for the left connection, and a mitre cut on the left end

of each section is required.

You have now completed our member details.

VIEWING THE ACTIVITIES

We can view the activities by clicking the activity button.

Various levels of details can be viewed. We have shown here the short listing & pressed
“load”
Note you can filter this by specific activity types eg “treatment “ will just show the
treatment activities etc.

REPORTING

We can print a detailed report by selecting the Detail Report button as shown.

You can show just a specific members by entering the Code Identification, or we can
report on all members.

We only have one member type, so we will select all.

The printed report will appear similar to the one shown below.
SUGGESTIONS FOR EXPLORING FURTHER
Try adding some components in the ‘OFFICE’ Zone and notice the difference in detailing
rates due to the different fabrication to detailing ratio.
