A Checklist of Must-Have Materials for Your Steel Building Project

Customers are required to provide the following documents and information at the initial stage of inquiry:

1. Architectural design drawings: Customers need to prepare architectural and structural design drawings, including floor plans, elevation drawings, and building sections. These drawings help the steel structure company clearly understand the building's overall layout, space requirements, and dimensions. For example, the size and location of each room can be understood through the floor plan, the appearance of the building can be understood through the elevation drawings and the internal structure of the building can be understood through the sectional drawings.

2. Structural design drawings: Structural drawings need to provide a complete design description, such as material requirements, whether the material is galvanized, the type of paint and the thickness of the spray, fire rating, etc. The material parameters, the number of paint layers, and the fire rating will greatly affect the final offer results.

A particularly important part of the structural drawings is the construction node diagrams, through the node diagrams, to grasp the degree of construction difficulty.

For the second component information, including beam and column section type, the steel structure company needs to complete the model deepening according to this information and split production drawings. [Columns such as drawings illustrate a steel beam 10 meters long, a cross-section of an H-beam (such as H400X200X8X13)], according to the deepening of the split manufacturing plan, to grasp the cost of processing.

3. Other profile information includes basic information such as project surroundings, building height, and material stacking site. Building height and surrounding environment, as well as material stacking site, will determine the choice of lifting implementation plan; for example, in commercial center garage roof operation, it is necessary to support and reinforce the garage roof; building height may affect the actual tonnage of crane, material stacking site affects the efficiency of construction operation, the above environmental factors will determine the increase or decrease of the measure cost of the whole project.

According to the above complete information, the steel structure company can make accurate and reasonable quotations.

Summary:

If you also need to do related similar business as well, you need to prepare the following materials for the steel structure company in advance:

1. Design documents or related materials, including architectural and structural design drawings, specifications, and individual requirements;
2. Basic information about the project, such as project documents and geological investigation report;
3. Requirements for related material documents, covering steel, materials used for connections, fireproofing materials, and anti-corrosion materials;
4. Other materials, such as construction schedules and quality acceptance standard documents, are used.
