Pipe Rack. Looking for a 'rule of Thumb' for costing estimates for a pipe rack. 1 /2/3 level 3/4/5 metre bays etc $x per metre2 and the allowable loads? there must be some estimate for construction?

thanks in advance

I would expect the prices to vary week-to-week based on availability and competition for steel, just like most steel construction. It will also vary with the size of the project - placing an order for a million pounds of steel will be cheaper than a couple of tons.

Perhaps there is such a thing, but I cannot even estimate what a tank of gas will cost 6 months from now. According to

https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/steel

steel rebar has gone up nearly 30% in the last 6 months.

Get a design together and send it for bids.
