// STEEL FABRICATION & ERECTION SOFTWARE
Track the shop and the field on one job: shop and erection hours costed against the bid as they’re clocked, crane and rigging hours logged against the job, pieces and tons installed counted off your piece list, and welder certs with expiry dates. Catch a package slipping in the shop before it compounds in the field. Peer reviews and certs show which ironworkers to build your crew around.
01 — Built for steel crews
Three problems that show up on the closeout report. Here is where the app catches each one earlier.
Fit-up and welding hours creep on a sequence, but nobody feels it until the iron ships light on margin. Live job costing prices shop fabrication hours against the bid per sequence — so the overrun shows up on the ledger, not on the erection invoice.
A crane day lost or a sequence flipped in the field burns hours the bid never carried. Equipment assignment tracks crane and man-lift hours against the job; clocked erection time prices the field the day it happens, not at closeout.
Track welding certs, rigging and signal-person cards and OSHA fall-protection with expiry alerts — and bring crews up to speed with the built-in Ironworker & Fabricator training: the Steel Fabrication Process and Steel Erection Process courses, How to Read Steel Construction Drawings and more, plus OSHA courses like Rigging Level 1 & 2 and Working Around Cranes.
02 — Job costing
Your estimate’s sections become the job’s phases — your sequences; shop fabrication and field erection hours clock against them; crane, rigging and material costs land where they’re spent. Margin to date on every phase tells you which package is carrying the job and which is eating it — while there’s still steel to set.
Yes — that’s the whole point. Shop fabrication and field erection are phases/sequences of the same job; hours clock against each, and the job jacket rolls up shop + field into one live margin. You see where the money is made or lost across both.
Yes. Upload the job’s piece list to its Pieces tab and mark pieces as they go up — it counts members and tons installed, shown beside the crew-reported percent complete (it never changes the money). Cranes and man-lifts are equipment on the job: crews log usage hours against it, and the job carries its own equipment budget line.
Yes — the WE Training library includes a full Ironworker & Fabricator track (Introduction, How Buildings Are Built, How to Read Steel Construction Drawings, the Steel Fabrication Process and Steel Erection Process courses, Your Tool Kit) plus OSHA courses (Fall Protection for Construction, Rigging Level 1 & 2, Working Around Cranes, Aerial & Scissor Lift Operators, Forklifts & Telehandler Operators).
