At Watkins Steel, we pride ourselves on our ability to provide first class steel products and services in a timely manner.
Based in Queensland, Watkins Steel has built a strong reputation for delivering first-class steel products and services with precision and timeliness. Their approach is grounded in two key principles: embracing technology and investing in people. This forward-thinking mindset led to the development of their own fully digitized steel fabrication and installation workflow a process unique to Watkins Steel and a game changer for their clients.
By combining cutting-edge tools with skilled professionals, Watkins Steel consistently reduces human error and rework, ultimately saving time and money on projects.
Initially implemented in 2010 as an automated estimating solution, STRUMIS quickly proved its value across other business functions. Today, Watkins Steel uses STRUMIS throughout the entire project lifecycle, from:
Estimating & Tendering
Contract & Project Management
Procurement & Inventory
Production & Progress Control
Invoicing & Cost Analysis
“What started as a tool for estimating became a fully integrated business solution. We now use STRUMIS across every phase of our projects.”
STRUMIS plays a key role in Watkins Steel’s automated administration and production workflows. The platform integrates with Tekla Structures for detailing and MYOB for accounting, ensuring consistency across systems. With this digital synergy, Watkins Steel benefits from:
Accurate procurement and budgeting
Live project tracking and reporting
Reduced administrative overhead
Improved traceability and transparency
One standout feature: automated nesting. A task that once took hours now takes seconds streamlining operations and enabling higher volumes without increasing headcount.
A prime example of STRUMIS in action was Watkins Steel’s work on the Architectural Arbour at the 2018 Commonwealth Games Athletes Village on the Gold Coast. A complex and high-profile project, it demanded seamless coordination and precision.
Using STRUMIS, the team managed the project from initial estimating through to purchasing, production, and invoicing, keeping all project information centralized and accessible—ensuring success from start to finish.
