Roadmap

What's coming
next.

SteelEstim8 ships portal-frame estimating today. Here is what is being built next — same live-priced workflow, applied to the next things UK fabricators quote on a regular basis.

Each one will land with a "Notify me" trigger. If you sign up below, you'll be in the first cohort tested with it.

  1. Shipping as a sister product Private alpha

    Mezzanine floors — see MezzEstim8

    The mezzanine quote engine has its own brand: MezzEstim8. Sketch the floor, pick a loading, and the engine sizes UB columns, UC beams and MetSec joists against BS 5950-1:2000. Live 3D viewer. Branded buyer proposal. See the full V1 feature set on the MezzEstim8 page.

    • Live-priced bay grid + deck specification
    • Full BS 5950 section engine (bending, shear, deflection, buckling, vibration)
    • Live Three.js 3D viewer with host photo overlay
    • Branded three-tier buyer proposal — print, share, sign
    See the MezzEstim8 page
  2. Shipping as a sister product Pre-launch

    Portal-frame engineering — see LoadEstim8

    The engineering layer for portal-frame work. Type the dead, imposed, snow and wind loadings; LoadEstim8 sizes rafter, column, purlin, side rail and base plate sections against BS EN 1993-1-1 (Eurocode 3). Calc pack ready for engineer-of-record sign-off. See the full coming-soon page for details.

    • Eurocode 3 (BS EN 1993-1-1) member sizing
    • Per-member utilisation ratios — clause and working numbers shown
    • BS 5950 supported for refurb work
    • UK postcode-driven snow and wind data baked in
    See the LoadEstim8 page
  3. Designing Autumn 2026

    Steel stairs & landings

    External and internal steel stairs — straight runs, dog-leg, and helical. Stringer sizing, tread spec, balustrade and landings, all priced live and rolled into the same quote PDF as the building they sit in.

    • Straight, dog-leg and helical configurations
    • Stringer + tread + landing sizing
    • Balustrade and handrail spec
    • Building-regs-compliant default settings
    Notify me when this lands
  4. Scoping Late 2026

    Mobile modules & welfare units

    Modular buildings: welfare units, site offices, and storage modules. The estimating workflow scaled to small mobile structures, with rapid quoting for short-cycle modular fabrication where buyers want a price the same day.

    • Welfare unit configurations
    • Site office layouts
    • Standardised modular spec libraries
    • Volume orders supported (multi-unit pricing)
    Notify me when this lands
