Everything you need to manage your business
Steel construction estimating & quotes
Create quotes quickly with automated estimating based on real steel profiles, up-to-date material prices and cost breakdown by category.
- Steel profile library (IPE, HEA, HEB, UPN, tubes...)
- Automatic weight, surface and price per kg calculation
- Cost categories: supply, labor, subcontracting
- Integrated electronic signature
3D CAD and DSTV export
Configure your buildings in 3D directly in the ERP. Automatically generate BOMs and export in DSTV format for your CNC machines.

Frequently asked questions about steel construction ERP
01What is an ERP for steel construction?+
An ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) for steel construction is an integrated management software that covers all the processes of a structural steelwork company: quotes, CAD design, workshop production, stock management, logistics and accounting. TopSteel is specifically designed for this sector, unlike generic ERPs.
02Can TopSteel import CAD files (Tekla, Advance Steel)?+
Yes, TopSteel integrates a CAD import module compatible with the main software on the market: Tekla Structure, Autodesk Advance Steel and SolidWorks. BOMs are automatically generated from imported 3D models.
03How does DSTV export for CNC machines work?+
TopSteel automatically generates files in DSTV format (the steel construction industry standard) from your BOMs. These files are directly usable by your CNC cutting, drilling and marking machines.
04How much does a steel construction ERP cost?+
Contact us for a quote tailored to your company, the modules you need and your number of users. We can demonstrate TopSteel using your own projects.
05Is TopSteel suitable for small metal fabrication businesses?+
TopSteel is designed for small and medium-sized steel construction businesses. A demonstration helps identify the modules you need, the data to migrate and the support your team requires.
06What are the advantages of a cloud ERP for steel construction?+
A cloud ERP like TopSteel offers several advantages: no server to install or maintain, accessibility from the workshop, office or site, automatic updates, secure data backup and real-time team collaboration.
07Which ERP should a steel construction company choose?+
Choose an ERP that connects project estimating, bills of materials, steel purchasing, stock, production orders and time tracking. TopSteel is a French ERP/MES designed for this workflow, from quotation to delivery. To assess its fit, request a demonstration using one of your quotes: check exchange formats, traceability, margin calculations and data migration requirements. The 3D configurator can be used on its own or with the ERP.
