Piping cost estimate
Piping cost estimate
(OP)
Hi to all,
I need help to estimate costs for piping.
It is a boiler plant and I would like to estimate costs for piping inside the boiler house:
- steam
- feed water and condensate
- cooling water
- control air
- etc.
I should somehow estimate (not so precise) costs for piping including:
- design
- documentation
- materials
- erection
Practically complete price from design phase to installation.
If anyone have some literature or some links that could help - I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance

RE: Piping cost estimate
How much money would it cost to build a car?
How much money does it take to paint a building?
How much money does it cost to build a road?
Can you answer any of those questions either?
Would you ask those questions?
RE: Piping cost estimate
Once I had a handbook with algorithm how to estimate piping costs (I just can't find this book anymore).
As I recall it's practically few equations with coefficients. Once again - roughly estimation.
I wasn't expecting that someone will calculate cost for me - just guidance where I could find the method.
Usually sales engineers have short ways for this estimations.

You can order a book there.
Many tech. prices are in there.
(Although I think the prices in that book are a little too high,
But it is a good start).
