Steelwork FAQ
Can the system quote custom steel sizes beyond the standard 203x133mm?
Yes. While the system matches standard universal beam sizes automatically, you can edit any item name and description inside the quote editor, or add custom steel sizes with custom material and labor lines.
Does the system calculate padstone sizes based on the steel loads?
The database contains standard precast concrete padstone listings (such as 440x215x152mm) which are auto-added for structural support. Structural loading calculations must always be verified by your project engineer.
How does it estimate structural support requirements?
When a load-bearing wall opening or structural steel installation is detected, the system adds a propping package allowance (including Acrow props, strongboys, and labor to set them up safely).
