Steel fabrication cost Northeast US

Steel fabrication cost Northeast US

(OP)
Anyone have a recent steel fabrication labor cost per lb or ton for the northeast USA? A coated cost or uncoated cost.

RE: Steel fabrication cost Northeast US

I recently purchased the 2013 RS Means Building Construction Cost Data book from Amazon at a nice discount, and it's well worth the price... a wealth of information. However, they don't break out steel fabrication labor cost from the bare cost of materials. Bare material costs include mill base price, mill extras, transportation to the shop, shop drawings and detailing, shop fabrication, sandblasting and primer paint, bolts and delivery to the jobsite. Bare material cost also depends on the size and type of project, type of structural components, bolted vs. welded connections. etc.

I'm not sure how you'd get this information without talking to a specific fabricator, but his cost might not be indicative of others... no easy answer here.

RE: Steel fabrication cost Northeast US

sounds like you are in the proposal/estimating stage....contact two or three fabricators in the NE and get their input..they would only be too glad to get their foot in the door at the beginning of the project...
