UK budget prices for steel
(OP)
anyone know the general estimating price per tonne for uk steel with simple connections.
I have 150UC struts about 6m long which are galvanised and have pinned connections each end.

Second would be to check out any recent tenders that have come in, and call some local fabricators
We tend to use about £3000-5000 per tonne fabricated for offshore structures (depending on tonnage) but these are generally heavier that typical buildings, and involve a lot of welding.
The last info I have for buildings was from the start of 2006, £1500-2000 per tonne for London, and £1200-1800 per tonne elsewhere. If you could get your hands on the latest BCIS indexes you could bring these up to today.

Yes I am having problems dowloading the BCIS index as the website doesnt seem to be working. I will base my budget pice on £1800 per tonne as it is a small job outside london.

I would recommend Spons, i used to find it really helpful and its certainly a lot more accurate.
