What is the price per ton of prefabricated steel structure?

Prefabricated steel structures have become a popular choice in modern construction due to their strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness. One of the most common questions buyers and contractors have is about the price per ton of prefabricated steel. The price per ton of prefabricated steel structure can vary significantly due to several factors, including the type of steel, complexity of fabrication, project size, supplier, market conditions, and location.

Prefabricated Steel Structure Price Per Ton

Based on current information (late 2024 – mid 2025):

Raw Steel Prices: Raw steel prices have fluctuated, with recent figures around $700-$900 per ton. Some sources indicate prices reaching up to $1100 per ton in 2025 due to potential tariffs and market uncertainties.

Fabricated/Structural Steel Prices (including raw material, fabrication, and delivery): You can expect to see prices for structural steel, which includes the raw material, fabrication, and often delivery, ranging from $300 to $750 per ton for certain components or larger projects, though some sources list ranges of $400-$700 per ton for general structural steel. Some suppliers may quote as low as $10-$80 per ton for specific, large-volume components or very basic structures, while others may list a broader range up to $650 per ton.

Installed Prefabricated Steel Structures (including raw material, fabrication, delivery, and installation): When considering the full cost of a prefabricated steel structure, which includes the raw steel, fabrication, delivery, and installation on-site, the price per ton is often incorporated into a per-square-foot cost. However, one source explicitly states that the price per ton of structural steel erected on site (including raw steel, fabrication, delivery, and installation) is around $4,000 per ton.

Important Considerations that influence the price:

Project Scope and Complexity: Larger and more complex designs with specialized components will generally have a higher cost per ton.

Steel Grade and Type: Different grades (e.g., Q235, Q345B) and types of steel (e.g., H-beams, I-beams, galvanized) have varying costs.
