Is it possible to estimate the cost by knowing the Kg/m weight of the steel?
For instance, I recently bought a 152 X 89 I beam, 2.8 M long which was £50 cash sale, collected. This was less than 24Kg/M, see below.
I was advised that a similar size 152 X 89 RSC ( as specified by Architect/SE) was 24 Kg/M and worked out about £58. A comparable I beam, weight for weight would have been 203 X 102.
A weight comparison is only rule of thumb. once you go from a universal beam to a pfc has enormous cost differences. and dont go to a rsc.
