BOM Studio: Your Steel Project, Live from Contract to Handover
BOM Studio is the platform World Steel built to manage steel structure projects worldwide, including Guyana. Every member of your building has its own ID and QR code, and every step from production to handover is recorded. You follow the same live data our team works with, free of charge for every World Steel client.
One platform, one record, every member
- ID and QR code per steel member
- 1
- Created from the approved 3D model and used from the factory to the site
- Production progress by steel tonnage
- Live
- Updated as soon as the factory confirms a step
- Locked released documents
- SHA-256
- Released packing lists and handover packages cannot be changed silently
- For every World Steel client
- Free
- Exclusive to our clients, with no licence or subscription fee
Features as described in the BOM Studio feature guide v4.4 (October 2026).
Why We Built It
One source of truth, from the 3D model to the last bolt on site
Most project problems start when information is copied: a quantity retyped from a drawing into a spreadsheet, a packing list that no longer matches the model, a status update sent by email that is already out of date.
BOM Studio removes the copying. The approved Tekla model of your building is read once, and every department works from the same data: engineering, purchasing, production, quality control, logistics and the site. Sales, the project manager, QA/QC and your own team look at one project record, with one ID and one QR code for each member.
What this means for you
- Quantities, weights and documents that always match each other
- Progress you can check yourself, at any time, without asking
- Quality records that show who did what, when and to which standard
- Containers you can check against their packing lists on arrival
- A complete digital record of your building at handover

The Platform
Inside BOM Studio
Real screens from the platform, shown with World Steel's demo project. Select a stage to see what you can follow.
Real-time production reports
Progress is measured by steel weight, stage by stage, and updated the moment the factory confirms a step. Your weekly report opens from a secure link, on a computer or a phone, with no login.
- Progress by tonnage for every stage
- Factory photographs sorted by stage and date
- English or Vietnamese at one click
Your building, coloured by progress
The 3D model of your building is coloured by the last completed stage of each member, so you see at a glance which parts are cut, welded, inspected, painted, packed or shipped.
- Click any member to see its status
- Counts and percentages for every stage
Real-time quality control
Inspection steps are built into the production route. A member that is finished is not passed until a QC inspector records the result, and a failed inspection stays on the record.
- Hold, witness and review points
- PASS / FAIL against named standards
- NCRs closed only by QC
Container load plans checked before loading
Only members released by QC can be packed. Packages are scanned into containers, and each load plan is checked for door clearance, payload, centre of gravity and stacking.
- QR scan packing, no manual lists
- Packed in erection order
- Sealed, released and locked
Client packing lists with a QR code on every package
Client packing lists are printed only from the released version, with internal data hidden. Every package has its own QR code so your team can check it on arrival.
- Shipper, consignee, vessel, ETD / ETA, B/L
- Container, seal, weights and volume
- Verification line with SHA-256
A passport for every member
On site, a scan of the member's QR code opens its component passport: engineering, production, quality, logistics, position in the building, inspections and photographs.
- Grid line, level, zone and erection step
- Package, container and yard location
- No paper files to search on site
Planned vs actual erection, day by day
Erection progress is compared with the plan on the model itself: ahead, on time or late. Updates come from the site team, and accepted work cannot be overwritten.
- Plan vs actual tonnage curve
- List of late steps
Digital handover, generated from the record
Handover packages for a zone or the whole building are generated from the project data, with a verification manifest and numbered revisions.
- 16 PDF reports and Excel exports
- SHA-256 manifest

Your project in BOM Studio, from contract to handover
What is recorded at each stage, and what you can see.

02
Engineering
The approved Tekla model is read into BOM Studio: every assembly, part, bolt and weld, with drawings attached to the right piece mark. Model errors are flagged before purchasing starts.
Technical highlight: 3D model viewable in any browser.

03
Production
Each member is tracked stage by stage and progress is measured by steel weight. The factory confirms each step by scanning the member's QR label.
Technical highlight: Live progress, coloured 3D model, photographs.

04
Quality control
Inspection steps and hold points are part of the route. Only a QC inspector can record PASS or FAIL, and non-conformances are tracked to closure.
Technical highlight: Finished does not mean passed.

Packing & loading
Only QC-released members can be packed. Packages are scanned into containers to a checked load plan, sealed and released as a locked document.
Technical highlight: Packed in erection order.

FAQ
BOM Studio: questions
Straight answers on scope, design codes, shipping and what happens in Guyana.
Ask an engineerWill my team be shown how to use it?
Yes. World Steel gives your team a live demo of BOM Studio and guidance on using it, so everyone knows where to find progress, documents and site tools from the start of the project.
Does BOM Studio cost extra?
No. BOM Studio is a service exclusively for World Steel clients and is completely free. There is no licence, subscription or per-user fee.
Do I need to install any software?
No. BOM Studio runs in a web browser, including the 3D model. Your site team can also use the site app on a phone or tablet, and it keeps working without a connection and synchronises when the connection returns.
Is the progress really live?
Yes. Progress is updated as soon as the factory confirms a step by scanning a member's QR label, and it is measured by steel weight, not by the number of lines in a list. The project page and the report link always show the status at the moment you open them.
Who can see my project?
Only the people we invite to your project, and people you share a link with. Share links have a defined scope, an expiry date and a PIN, and can be revoked. Documents for clients never show internal information such as user names, internal notes or prices.
Can my erection contractor use BOM Studio?
Yes, free of charge. Every World Steel client and their local erection contractor get free access to Smart Erection. Your contractor can be invited with a role, such as site manager, installation supervisor or QC inspector, and use the site app to receive packages, find members, follow the erection sequence and record inspections.
What happens if the design changes?
A new model revision is read into BOM Studio. Component IDs and installation data are kept, and every released document keeps its revision history.
In which languages are documents available?
The client views are available in English. Packing lists, shipping marks and container packing reports can be issued in 19 languages; machine translations are reviewed before they are sent to you.
How is my data protected?
Permissions are checked on the server for every page and action, QR codes carry no data or access rights, records are append-only, and released documents are locked with a SHA-256 hash.
