Know which steel erection leads are worth a site walk
Ask every owner or developer about fabrication status, steel tonnage, and whether a structural engineer has approved the connection details before you commit to a site walk. Collect site photos and shop drawings upfront so your crew knows the scope before stepping on site.
The exact intake your structural steel erection leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Structural Steel Erection — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified structural steel erection lead should tell you
The on-site assembly and installation of prefabricated structural steel beams, columns, and connections for a commercial building, undertaken once fabrication and site preparation are far enough along to schedule a crew.
- Current Status Steel Fabrication
- Structure Requires Steel Erection
- How Many Tons Structural
- Structural Engineer Already Approved
- Site Prepared With Foundations
- Role On This Project
The questions your team needs answered
Every structural steel erection intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What is the current status of the steel fabrication for this project? | Whether steel is fabricated, in progress, or not yet ordered tells your team how far out a real erection date is, even though every stage still scores as viable. |
| What type of structure requires steel erection? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Approximately how many tons of structural steel need to be erected? | Tonnage bands help your estimator gauge crew size and crane needs before ever seeing the site. |
| Has a structural engineer already approved the steel design and connection details? | Engineer-approved connection details are the strongest signal that a project is ready to move past planning into scheduling. |
| Is the site prepared with foundations and anchor bolts ready for steel erection? | Foundations and anchor bolts being in place is the physical prerequisite for erection, so this answer flags whether a site walk is premature. |
| What is your role on this project? | Knowing whether the submitter is the owner, a GC, or an architect tells your team who actually has authority to approve scope and pricing. |

Built for structural steel erection workflows
| Cliont capability | Structural Steel Erection application |
|---|---|
| Conditional scoring on engineer sign-off | Whether a structural engineer has approved the connection details is weighted as the urgency signal, so approved jobs surface above unapproved ones in your CRM queue. |
| Structured tonnage banding | Under-50, 50-to-200, and over-200-ton answers let you route small jobs and larger multi-crew erection projects to the right estimator without reading free text. |
| Role-based lead routing | Capturing whether the submitter is an owner/developer, general contractor, architect/engineer, or facility manager lets your team confirm decision-making authority before scheduling a site walk. |
| Site-readiness flagging | The foundation and anchor bolt question surfaces jobs that aren't physically ready for a crew, so you can sequence follow-ups instead of booking a site walk too early. |
Common structural steel erection lead scenarios
Steel fabricated and site ready
Steel is already fabricated, an engineer has approved the connections, and foundations with anchor bolts are in place — this lead scores highest and can move straight to a site walk.
Early-stage, steel not yet ordered
A developer is planning ahead and hasn't ordered fabrication yet, with no engineer sign-off on connections. The intake still captures it, but flags it for a longer lead time before erection can start.
Large industrial job, high tonnage
A warehouse project over 200 tons with fabrication underway and engineer approval already secured — a bigger-ticket lead that a crew can size and schedule with more confidence.
Foundations not yet ready
Steel is fabricated but the site's foundations and anchor bolts aren't in place yet, signaling a scheduling gap your team needs to resolve before committing crane time.
General contractor requesting on behalf of owner
The person filling out the form identifies as a general contractor rather than the owner or developer, which changes who your team should confirm decision-making authority with before quoting.

Structural Steel Erection lead-intake FAQs
What happens if the owner hasn't ordered steel fabrication yet?
The intake still captures the lead — 'not yet ordered or fabricated' is a valid answer — but it signals a longer runway before a crew could mobilize, so your team can set expectations accordingly.
Does the intake check whether an engineer has signed off on connections?
Yes, it directly asks whether a structural engineer has approved the steel design and connection details, since unapproved connections usually mean the project isn't ready to schedule.
What if the owner doesn't know how many tons of steel are involved?
The intake accepts 'not sure' as a tonnage answer so the lead isn't lost — your team can follow up to size the job instead of turning it away for missing detail.
Can the intake tell me if the site is actually ready for a crew?
It asks directly whether foundations and anchor bolts are in place, which helps you spot site-readiness gaps before you send a crew for a site walk.
Does it distinguish who's actually submitting the request?
It asks whether the person is an owner or developer, general contractor, architect or engineer, facility manager, or another role, so you know who has authority to move the project forward.
Is this intake only for warehouse or industrial jobs?
No — it covers warehouse, office/retail, parking structures, institutional or municipal buildings, and other structure types, so leads across your typical project mix all come through the same form.
