Does any one know how does it cost these days to fabricate and erect a ton of steel?

RE: fabricated steel per ton
RE: fabricated steel per ton
A very rough estimate for fabrication in Asia would be
1. cost of steel
2. fabrication and one coat primer = cost of steel
3. overhead and profit = cost of steel
thus if steel cost US$400 per tonne then the fabricated cost would be US1,200 per tonne.
Erection will depend on the size of the crane etc.

this link gives a similar estimate to jen4950 this time for western europe.

Zambo,
Are you sure it is 400 and 1200 or is there any typo?
RE: fabricated steel per ton
mine was just an estimate, if (I don't have recent rates) the steel was US$400 per tonne then you could triple to make fabricated steel US$1,200 per tonne (this excluded erection). You have a figure of US1,000 per tonne not so different - how is that figure broken down?
RE: fabricated steel per ton
your best bet is to call a fabricator. In NYC, bridge steel - material, fabrication, delivery, erection, and painting - runs about $2 to $2.50 per pound; $4 to$5 K per ton.
There are several factors to consider, such as - location of the fabricator, shipping, site constraints for erection, complexity of the project, working hours,client requirements (DOT's tend to be more stringent than private owners), union vs. non-union, Buy-America provisions.
You could also look in Means and make the necessary adjustments for location; that should put you in the ball park.

RE: fabricated steel per ton
Supply AUD 2,500/tonne (~USD 1,821/ton)
Shop Detailing AUD 500/tonne (~USD 364/ton)
Fabrication AUD 3,000/tonne (~USD 2,185/ton)
Transport AUD 150/tonne (~USD 109/ton)
Erection Labour AUD 2,400/tonne (~USD 1,748/ton)
Erection Plant AUD 1,200/tonne (~USD 874/ton)
TOTAL AUD 9,750/tonne (~USD 5,339/ton)
Rates would be somewhat cheaper for city and suburban structures. We pay a premium for labour, plant and transport due to the remote nature of most of our mine sites.
RE: fabricated steel per ton
Call a local contractor or erector for erection costs.
Notice that I gave you the "pre-bid" price for steel. "After-award" prices for steel are higher. That is a topic for another thread if anyone is interested in discussing "Why are steel prices higher after the bid date?". "After-award" charges or "adds" to the project is one of the many reasons I decided to leave that particular job.
Hope this helps ...

RE: fabricated steel per ton
Cost of steel per ton is about USD 777 and fabrication + erection cost is about USD 266. But this is for industrial applications upto 14 meters height. This may be high for high rise buildings but fabrication and erection costs generally do not cross the supply cost.
If we need not have to go for RT of the welds, the fabrication cost can be a bit lower.
