How to calculate the cost of steel structure warehouse?

Now more and more people come to consult how to budget the cost of steel structure warehouse. Now let me teach you a detailed analysis method. Because different manufacturers use different materials and quote differently, their prices vary widely. As a result, many cost estimates are inaccurate, and even many professionals have difficulty calculating the actual cost of steel structure warehouses. This requires accountants to pay attention to detailed calculations when communicating with manufacturers, so as not to cause heavy losses. Let’s take a simple single-story steel warehouse as an example for analysis.

1. The span and height of the warehouse

The steel structure warehouse with a span of 15 meters is a watershed. Warehouses with a span greater than 15 meters will reduce the cost per unit area as the span increases, but for those with a span of less than 15 meters, the cost per unit area will decrease as the span decreases. The height of standard metal warehouse construction is usually 6 meters to 8 meters. The increase in height affects the safety of the structure, so the amount of steel used for the structure will also increase accordingly, which will ultimately affect the overall cost.

2. Material fee

The material of the metal structure warehouse is mainly steel, and the price is relatively stable. Steel prices have been reduced due to the current overcapacity in the country. The average price remained at $560 per ton. This price is already quite cheap. Then calculate the steel consumption for the entire warehouse and multiply it.

3. Labor cost

Labor costs for steel structures. Usually, the construction time of this simple single-story steel structure warehouse is about 3 months, and 20 people are required for labor. The corresponding cost can be calculated based on the average monthly expenditure of about $800 per person.

4. Other

Including technology cost and engineering cost. Technical costs include preliminary designs and drawings. Many fabricators do not consider this step, but a detailed design will reduce waste during construction later on, at an estimated cost of about $2000.

The above is the basic composition of the construction cost of the steel structure warehouse, using the quantity of steel, materials, labor, etc. As long as the cost of a carefully constructed metal warehouse is relatively easy to calculate. But if you want to build a new warehouse, it is recommended that you use a new type of grid steel warehouse, which can not only solve the problem of storage space requirements for you, but also has many advantages, such as good lighting, fast and easy operate.

Many logistics and manufacturing industries have already taken the lead and made good use of it. If you are interested, you can detail the actual items stored, and perhaps make many innovative changes to the storage mode, and we will tailor the suitable steel structure warehouse storage requirements for you.
