Real shops, real steel
Proven by the people who built it
Fab-Shot is field-tested by BA Steel crews on live commercial work. These are our jobs โ nothing staged.
Lay it out once. Mark it, cut it, punch it, and ship it knowing it bolts up in the field. The math shown on every piece โ no CAD seat, no detailer queue, no desk.
START YOUR 2 WEEKS FREEIf you can sketch a piece on a scrap of plate, you can run this app. Your finger is the soapstone.
Field change at 7 a.m. doesn't wait two days for a revised drawing. Re-lay it out and keep cutting.
Works on the phone in your pocket, on the shop floor, at the layout table, or on the deck.
Every cut, hole, and bolt count prints its math. Check it before the torch is lit.
Drag your finger the way the steel runs. Pick the shape and size โ W, HSS, channel, angle, plate โ and it carries the real section dimensions.
Shear tabs, clip angles, base plates, gussets and stiffeners. Give it the hole layout and it counts every hole and every bolt, nut, and washer.
It assigns the piece marks and prints them with the layout, so the shop, the truck, and the erector are all reading the same tag.
Cut list with the math shown, hole schedule, bolt kits counted per connection, and the consumables on their own list.
Drag your finger. Mark the holes. That's the training.

What gets welded on the table and what gets bolted on the deck are two different lists โ and two different bills. Say which is which and the app splits them.
Tabs, gussets, stiffeners, and base plates welded down before it ships โ with the weld length figured so the wire and gas get counted.
Every field connection ships as a kit: bolts, nuts, washers โ counted per hole, bagged per mark. One missing bag doesn't stop a crane day.
The app leaves the gap the weld needs instead of a cut that fits perfectly and welds badly.
Say it once. Coating gets figured by square foot and lands on its own line โ not buried in the steel order.
Not "a box of 3/4s." Counted by hole, by grade, by length โ with the nuts and washers to match.
Base plates need them. Nobody orders them. It counts them with the plate.
Counted per column, and flagged early โ because they're set in concrete weeks before your steel shows up.
The small plate that holds the whole connection โ cut from the same drop and counted, not scrounged.
It's funny because it's true, and it's true because we've all lived it. Every laugh has a lesson hiding in it โ that's how the trade trains the new guy, and it's how we built the app.
Don't like reading? Neither do we. Hit ๐ LISTEN on any box and it reads that one out loud.
Nobody ever quit the trade over a hard day โ they quit over being lost and too proud to say so. Humor is how crews teach without anyone admitting they're learning. That's the product too. Fab-Shot tells you the truth about the math and never makes you feel stupid for asking.
The full layout and takeoff engine, cut lists, hole and bolt schedules, and the complete training library. Same price for a one-man shop or a hundred hands.

Step-by-step how-to videos plus Foreman School โ layout by benchmark, reading shop drawings, fit-up and root gap, bolt-up and torque, rigging it once.
In a shop, the killer isn't a missing beam โ it's running out of wire at 2 p.m., or a bolt bag nobody counted. The Bucket tracks the consumables: what's on the rack, what the job actually needs, and what to order before you start.
Counted per hole and per grade, then bagged per piece mark. Not "a box and hope."
Figured off the actual weld length in the job โ so the spool doesn't run dry mid-bead.
The consumables that quietly stop a shop. Counted with the work, not remembered later.
Tell it what you've got and it orders only the difference. Quit paying twice for 3/4" hardware.
Count it once. Handle it once. Ship it once.
