steel connection design cost estimating
(OP)
Does anyone have a handle on typical steel connection design costs, either in $/lb of steel or some other sort of weighted ratio?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

steel connection design cost estimating

RE: steel connection design cost estimating
1) type of connection,(vert. bracing, moment connection, etc.) and are the connections straight forward, is there repition
2) is the job in a seismic zone (does AISC seismic provisions apply)
3) is the connection designer required to supply full calcs on all connections or can they do a sample and then just supply the detailer and EOR with connection summaries
4) Is shop drawing review part of the contract. I have seen shop drawing review costs exceed the actual connection design cost.
Many factors weigh into this, its not as easy as a price per pound. I have even been asked for a % of the detailing price which may be a little easier to come up with although still very, very ballpark and that could range from 20-30%
From what standpoint are you looking at this, the fabricator trying to come up with a price to add in for this or from the actual designer?
