Question 1

What is Steeleye?

Accepted Answer

Steeleye is a construction operating system built specifically for steel contractors. It connects your entire project lifecycle—from the first bid opportunity to the final dollar collected—under one platform, giving you real-time control over pipeline, estimating, job costing, and company financials.

Question 2

Who is Steeleye designed for?

Accepted Answer

Steeleye is built for steel erection contractors, structural steel fabricators, and miscellaneous steel companies operating in the United States. Whether you run a 10-person crew or a 200+ employee operation, Steeleye scales with your business.

Question 3

How is Steeleye different from general construction software?

Accepted Answer

Generic construction software forces steel contractors to adapt to workflows designed for other trades. Steeleye is purpose-built for steel—with assemblies-based estimating, steel-specific cost codes, AIA G702/G703 billing, and labor efficiency tracking calibrated to erection and fabrication work.

Question 4

Can Steeleye replace our current estimating spreadsheets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Steeleye replaces fragmented Excel workflows with a structured estimating engine that separates cost from markup, calculates labor hours from an assemblies database, and produces proposals connected directly to your project budgets and SOV—eliminating manual data re-entry.

Question 5

What kind of financial visibility does Steeleye provide?

Accepted Answer

Steeleye provides a CEO/CFO dashboard that combines live job performance, cash flow forecasting, backlog conversion tracking, and integrated AR/AP—so you can predict financial problems months in advance instead of reacting to bank statements.

Question 6

How quickly can we get started?

Accepted Answer

Most teams are up and running within 2–3 weeks. Our onboarding team comes from the steel industry, so they understand your workflows and can configure Steeleye to match how your company actually operates—not the other way around.
