Structural steel Estimating Services

Construction estimators produce and revise estimates for a project. They are familiar with the design and expenses incurred in the project. Structural steel is normally priced by weight, so having a firm idea of what structural sections will be used and the meaning of the lettering of each section is important for developing an accurate estimate.

Metal Fabrication Costs

One ton of steel costs about $400. To have this fabricated and one coat of primer applied it would cost approximately $1,200-$1,500 per ton of structural steel. If you are looking for other metals, or perhaps sheet metal fabrication of various designs, prices can go up as high as $2,500 per ton.

What is a steel estimator?

A steel estimator determines how much structural steel is needed for a construction job. Job duties include reviewing blueprints from the architects or civil engineers; making estimates about the quantity, safety needs, and costs of the steel; and reporting to project managers.

Why is structural steel so expensive?

Transportation Costs and Tariffs: Over its life, steel is moved from the mill to the fabricator then on to the jobsite. Each mile the material moves will add more to its cost. In addition to driver wages, transportation costs – including fuel, equipment maintenance and insurance coverage – tend to go up year over year.
