    |  | Division 5 Software |  |  
    |  |  Division 5 Software is a
      product line designed specifically for the steel fabrication industry. 
      It is a
      completely integrated, 32-bit, modular, network-ready, steel estimating, project management
      and production management software package written for the Windows 9x/2000/NT/XP/Vista/Windows
      7 operating systems.
      It addresses the two basic administrative problems present in the steel
      fabrication industry today; the lack of experienced estimators and managers, and the
      paperwork that is required to stay on top of a fast track construction
      world.
       
      It combines over thirty years of first hand steel
      fabrication, estimating, detailing and project management experience in a software system designed from the ground up specifically for the
      commercial, industrial, and red iron miscellaneous steel fabricator.
      It is a complete "estimate to final invoice" system.
       
      Our programs are not Excel templates nor do they require you to navigate large databases. In fact, our interface is so
      intuitive, you will not need months, weeks or days
      of training to use it. This website shows you a few of
      the program windows with brief descriptions.

    | Our Philosophy |  
    | We believe the key to being a successful fabricator is the
same as it is in most other businesses; your employees, particularly your key
personnel. Yes, you also need good shop personnel and equipment. But, if
you don't sell your work for the right price or you can't get it out on time,
the best shop personnel and equipment won't do more than slow down the
loss.   
  Estimators must be able to quickly and accurately estimate your true
material, labor, erection, subcontract, and buyout costs over a wide range of
projects.   Sales
must be confident with the estimated costs to apply markups based on shop
schedules and market conditions.  Project Managers must be able to plan, document and track each scope
item from release through submittals, purchasing, fabrication, installation and
invoicing.   In order to  maximize your employees
potential, you must provide them with the right tools.   Let us show you how we can put over thirty years of estimating
and management skills to work for you.    |  
 What we  can do for you:Estimating:1.  Increase the quality, quantity and consistency
of your estimates.
