How to use these rates

These are delivered-to-site rates, not ex-plant. Small variations between suppliers are normal. Always ask for the mill test certificate for steel and cement — rates below the low end usually mean seconds or non-branded material.

For contractor quotes: check that per-material rates in the BOQ fall within our range. Anything 15%+ above the max is a mark-up worth negotiating.

Note: These rates are indicative for planning. Not a live market feed. Actual invoice rates from suppliers may vary by ±5-10% based on volume, credit terms, and season.
