What are The Factors That Affect The Quotation Of Steel Structure Warehouse?
Steel structure warehouse is the most common steel structure building. It is a storage building built with steel for storing goods, equipment and other items. Due to the strong stability and durability of steel structures, steel structure warehouses can well withstand the effects of various natural disasters (wind disasters, snow disasters, earthquakes, etc.). And due to its large span and strong support, it has strong flexibility and adjustability, which can meet the storage requirements of different spaces. Therefore, steel structure warehouses are widely used in industry, agriculture and commercial fields.
We often receive inquiries about steel structure warehouses from customers in various countries. Many customers want to know the factors that affect steel structure warehouses so that they can make reasonable changes to obtain better prices. If you also have this need, you can learn about the information below.
The price of a steel warehouse mainly includes material fees, processing fees, design fees, packaging and transportation fees, and installation fees. For exports, installation costs are generally not included.
- Material price impact: Steel structure warehouses are mainly composed of steel and enclosure materials. These two materials account for about 70% of the total cost of steel structure workshops. Therefore, the price of steel and enclosure is an important factor affecting the price of the entire building.
In particular, the price of steel has been fluctuating. Taking the Chinese market as an example, the price of steel is at a low level of about 2,000 RMB per ton, but at the highest level it can reach 7,000 RMB per ton, and most of the time it is around 4,000 to 5,000 RMB per ton. .
In addition, the prices of steel materials of different models, thicknesses and materials vary greatly. American standard and European standard steel are usually about 200 US dollars per ton more expensive than national standard steel. Envelopes are commonly known as wall panels and roof panels. They use single panels or composite panels of different materials, and the prices vary greatly.
- Labor cost: In addition to material costs, the factors that affect the total cost of the warehouse are processing fees. The unit price quoted is usually based on the price per ton, which is the cost of processing one ton of steel. So labor cost is another important factor that affects the total construction price. China’s domestic labor costs have a greater advantage than other countries, so many customers will choose to import from China.
- Design factors: Design is another important factor that affects the total construction cost. Different design options will definitely lead to price differences. Because different design solutions will lead to differences in the amount of steel used, the price will also be different. Each country has different design standards, and the design plans vary greatly. Owners cannot just pursue price and ignore safety. Solutions with lower steel consumption must also ensure safety. Of course, some suppliers sometimes falsely report the amount of steel they use in order to gain greater profits. So find a reliable supplier to get a reasonable quote.
- Exchange rate factors: For exports, the exchange rate will also have an impact on prices. Because the exchange rate fluctuates most of the time, when the exchange rate fluctuates greatly, it will have a certain impact on the quotation of steel structure projects.
There are many factors that affect the price, but the ones mentioned above have a greater impact. If you want to get a reasonable quotation, you must know the above factors. Since material prices, labor costs, exchange rates, and shipping charges fluctuate, quotations for steel structure projects are time-sensitive. Generally, quotations are valid for 15 to 30 days. Therefore, there may be a big difference between the price some customers received six months ago and the current price.
