Fabricated Structural Steel Cost
Fabricated Structural Steel Cost
(OP)
I know this changes weekly, but I'm trying to get a good idea of what to use for a cost estimate based on $/lb of fabricated structural steel. Anyone have any recent data on this? I mainly deal with North America. Thanks.






RE: Fabricated Structural Steel Cost
However, I looked up our recent (past month) cost for the following two items:
Wide flange, 4" X 13 lb/ft
Channel, 3" X 4.1 lb/ft
In both cases the cost was about 60 cents per pound. Obviously, these are the smallest common sizes of both wide flange beam and channel, so it might vary a little based on shape and size. Two items is nothing to live and die by for sure. However, for a rough approximation, without more info, that's what I can give you.
If by "fabricated" you mean steel that has been machined, that would depend greatly on the design. A 3 pound piece with 10 hours of machining required will be way more expensive than a 40 pound beam with a few drilled holes.

Steel prices and delivery times are extremely volitile right now. As you noted, these numbers change frequently. Almost by the day.
