For budget costs of structural steel projects you will find the solution at:-

Look under 'Useful Data' for details of tonnage take-off and pricing with an example. You don't even need the other stages you discuss to arrive at a budget cost.

Thanks for th comments. Let be pecific this time. Here are the assumptions:

  1. A three story building. 20 x 40 meters with 5 columns along the short side, and 9 columns along the longer side.
  2. the ground floor is a bookstore, second floor is a warehouse, third floor is a body-building gym.
  3. it is to e erected along the pacific earthquake belt.

how many manhours does each of the stages cosume? please neglect the architctural part of it. This i entirely all strucutural, thus, structual conceptualization, structural dsign, structural cost estimte.
