“How much per ton?” is the most common question we get, and the hardest to answer honestly without drawings. Here is why, and what to compare instead.
| Block | What moves it |
|---|---|
| المواد | Grade, thickness, market price on order date |
| Fabrication labour | Pieces per ton, connections, weld volume |
| التفصيل | Complexity, revisions |
| الطلاء | System, DFT, galvanizing, fire protection |
| Testing | NDT rates, third-party, trial assembly |
| Packing and freight | Container count, flat racks, destination |
| التركيب | Scope, crew, cranes, site conditions |
Ask for the BOM. A quote without tonnage by member type cannot be checked.
Send drawings or a brief. An engineer replies within 1 working day.
The files and data to send with a steel building or fabrication RFQ, so the quote is fixed rather than full of assumptions.
Container dimensions, why steel loads cube out before weight, typical tonnage per 40HQ and how member length affects freight cost.
Wide-flange H, narrow I and welded box sections compared for beams and columns: axis strength, torsion, connections and cost.
