Pre-Bid Services
 Basden
Steel offers complete pre-bid estimating and design assistance for
development of the structural steel package. Our sales and estimating
team evaluates the project in design, giving suggestions to the
contractor involving conceptual pricing, value engineering, and
pre-staging of equipment. This allows the customer to design the job
with an informed perspective on the effects of the structural steel.

Superior planning and coordination of construction
From the day of award, we
will work with your representative to develop a construction sequence
to best fit your needs. This sequence will be used to detail,
fabricate, and erect the project to achieve the earliest possible
completion dates and to put other trades to work as soon as physically
possible. Our unique ability to sequence delivery and coordinate our
in-house erection team provides you the best delivery available,
living up to our promise of seamless service. As soon as your project
representative is available, we will meet and develop a sequence and
schedule that assures you that steel will be available as soon as
foundations are in place to erect upon.

three-dimensional models of complex projects for your team's analysis.
Contact our engineering representative early in the project to learn
how we can streamline the job with this technology.
