What’s Included

FabSystems is dedicated to creating a simple user-friendly experience at lightning-fast speeds.

Commercial construction is more competitive than ever. You need a tool to give your fabrication or erector shop an advantage. There is nothing faster, more accurate, or more complete on the market.

Database

FabSystems accesses an extensive database we have been developing for 10+ years. Every item we encountered over many years of operating is included in FabSystems. Our Material Definition is unlike anything else offered today…Its all there:

  • Angles - included

  • Bracing - included

  • Roof Openings - included

  • Stairs - included

  • The library is complete, if you need a different item it can be permanently added to your library in minutes.

With every other estimating program your estimators still have to manually enter a large amount of data, losing time.

Point and Click Interface

Data is entered into FabSystems using pulldown menus greatly increasing the speed of estimate population. The only typing is size and quantity when entering the data.

Auto-Calculation

FabSystems formulas used to calculate weight, time, paint, and cost are time proven, having been in use for over five years and thousands of estimates. They are accurate and complete. You won’t every fall short and underestimate paint or labor!

Auto-Population

When entering a beam for example, the user completes the pulldown data entry, adds the size and quantity, and the system immediately calculates and populates every item, cost, and task related to that entry. No other steel fabrication software comes close to the speed and simplicity of FabSystems.

Bill of Materials

The Bill of Materials is imported from modeling software such as SDS2 and incorporated into FabSystems

Material Management

Our goal was to build the perfect estimating program, but we’ve also included a very effective Material Management system in FabSystems.

  • Import files to create shipping manifests, track members, etc

  • Creates a cut list with mark numbers to easily order beams with less than 2% droppage

  • Creates an instant sort list with mark numbers

  • Creates a mark list for remaining items to be shipped

  • Tracks shipped members
