How BuildScope helps steel fabricators

Everything you need to create accurate, professional quotes — without spending your evenings on it.

Weight-based pricing

Price by kg or tonne for standard sections — RSJs, UCs, UBs, RHS, SHS, channels, and angles.

Fabrication rates

Workshop fabrication time based on complexity — connections, welding, plate work, drilling.

Installation

Separate fabrication and installation costs including crane hire, bolting, and grouting.

Finishes

Galvanising, shot blasting, primer, intumescent paint, and powder coating all priced.

Built on real UK trade prices

BuildScope isn't guessing. Our pricing database is built on real trade prices from UK merchants including Screwfix, Jewson, and Travis Perkins. Labour rates are sourced from industry data and adjusted for your region — from London to Scotland. Prices are continuously updated to reflect the latest market rates, so your quotes stay accurate.
