Steel Project Index is a Temple AI Solutions build — made by working steel detailers, not a software company.
The site exists because the everyday tools of this trade — the weight lookup, the cut list, the RFI that has to be worded right the first time — are either scattered, paywalled, or black boxes that hand you a number with no working. A detailer wouldn't accept that from a person. You shouldn't accept it from a website.
Every calculator on this site prints its formula and its assumptions under the result. Every SDS2 report template names the model fields it's built on. Every fabricator listing says exactly where its information came from. When a number matters enough to check, you can check it — that's the whole brand.
Nine detailer calculators, free and ungated. The SDS2 Report Library — Report Writer templates SDS2 doesn't ship, built on the verified field catalog and given away. An RFI drafter with nine copy-ready formats. Bolt and weld capacity per AISC 360-22 with the coefficients shown. A fabricator directory built the honest way, from what companies publish about themselves.
The calculators and templates never need an account. A free account adds template downloads and 5 AI runs a month. Everything on the site is free — there is no paid tier, and no lead-selling.
Questions, corrections, or a report you wish existed: email the site or use the weekly brief reply address.
