About

Excalibur View is a drawing viewer, markup and takeoff program for construction, written by a working structural steel estimator. Markups are ordinary PDF annotations, so a set marked up here opens in Bluebeam Revu or Adobe with everything in place. It imports Revu .bpx profiles and .btx tool sets with their tools, custom columns and unit weights. Measure length, area, count, volume and angle at the drawn scale. Tools carry their own unit weights, so a measured beam puts tonnage on the takeoff as it is drawn. The Shop List reads the same markups back as a cut list, with stock length, saw kerf and drops. Free for one person, including paid work, with no account and no expiry. Offices add Excalibur View Office at $250 per seat, paid once, on a machine you own. Updates are an optional $100 per seat per year. There is no cloud. Drawings, markups and takeoff never leave your hardware. Source published under the Elastic License 2.0.

About

SteelTally is Windows software for structural steel takeoff and estimating, designed for fabricators, estimators and detailers. It reads PDF and DXF drawings, scans member schedules to find beam and column marks on framing plans, and flags marks missing from plans. Measurement tools record straight, curved and polyline beam lengths. Column diagrams support welded cap, connection and base plates; truss tools break assemblies into chords, verticals and diagonals. Estimators can apply their steel, galvanizing and paint rates, create stock-length cut lists using offcuts first, and check crane reach. Revision comparison places drawing versions side by side and identifies new, removed, renamed or resized members. Member lists, cut lists and revision summaries export to Excel or PDF. SteelTally includes Australian section sizes and weights and runs locally on Windows, including offline, without drawing uploads or cloud AI. A 30-day full-feature trial requires no credit card.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I'm not one who really gripes about privacy and data sovereignty but the ability for a company to self host everything without trusting corporations with their data I believe is going to be next level in these coming years. Its extremely seamless and I love the classic mode it kind of gives it a windows 98 style look lol. overall its freaking cool to use and the fact you can build your own plugins and modify it yourself is awesome. More construction software needs to be like this.

Cons

  • Some tools were a bit Janky which is to be expected with something so new, things like sheet overlay worked but took forever to load and was just slow.
