Costing in Design

Only here

What this pair adds

The price from the model, line by line with its working, from your own rates and stock

The price panel flags example rates until you replace them.
Stock lines connect to plasma, wire erosion or CNC milling.
With Machinist, a connected stock line adds cutting cost from the shop's cut chart.

These are the example rates the preset ships with, not your prices.

Load your own rates for the lines below and every quote from here on uses them. Nothing you configure now is lost.

Steel, sections and plate£169.15
71.98 kg, works out at £2.35 per kg
Posts, rails, bars and plate. The steel rate is your mild steel rate per kg, and every other material multiplies it by its own factor, so mild steel sits at 1.
Fixings and hardware£46.40
Clamps, spigots, standoffs, channel, bends, end caps, brackets, anchors and any cored pockets.
Workshop fabrication£143.64
3.42 hours, works out at £42.00 per hour
Cut, drill, weld and dress, estimated from the part count.
Galvanising£34.55
0.07 t, works out at £479.99 per t
Charged by weight, which is how a galvaniser charges.
Delivery£85.80
3.20 m, works out at £26.81 per m
Drawings and setting out£40.00
Setting out and the fabrication drawing. A raked run adds the panel geometry drawing on top, so a stair costs more on this line than a level run.

Total£519.54
