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 Live now

    Portal-frame engineering — LoadEstim8 is live

    The engineering layer for portal-frame work, shipping today. Type the dead, imposed, snow and wind loadings; LoadEstim8 sizes rafter and column sections to BS EN 1993-1-1 + UK NA. Calc pack PDF ready for engineer-of-record sign-off. £60/mo, monthly card, cancel any time. Single-span symmetric duopitch / monopitch frames; output is preliminary until your engineer signs the pack.

    • Member sizing to BS EN 1993-1-1 + UK NA
    • Per-member utilisation ratios — clause and working numbers shown
    • BS 5950 supported for refurb work
    • UK postcode-driven snow and wind data baked in

  3. Shipping as a sister product Pre-launch

    Handrails & balustrades — see RailEstim8

    Handrail and balustrade quoting in five minutes, not forty-five. Pick the run, pick a UK style preset (Georgian, Modern, Industrial, Glass), and the calculator auto-fills profiles. Bar count, post centres and pitch-corrected top rail length update live. Built for architectural metalworkers and gates-and-railings shops. PDF upload mode lands in v1.5.

    • Straight runs + straight stair flights (curved/helical in v2)
    • Style presets — Georgian, Modern, Industrial, Glass + Custom
    • Part K + BS 6180 + BS 5395 compliance baked in as warnings
    • Branded quote PDF, cutting list and BoM in one click
    See the RailEstim8 page
  4. 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
  5. 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)
