Guide to Steel Beams

Find steel beam suppliers that can support your business

By D. Johnston

Fabricated steel beams are a necessity for two things: structural support and your business. Both need steel beams to stay intact. You need to know where you can get the best supply, quality and price for construction steel beams for your construction business.

Construction steel beams are available in a variety of types for a variety of uses. Whether your building project requires basic structural steel beams, flanges, or more elaborate shapes, you can find what you need if you:

1. Check out various commercial steel beams suppliers who do fabrication work.

2. Locate and get quotes from companies that sell basic steel beams with the specifications you require.

3. Look into options for pre-fabricated steel buildings.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Locate steel beam suppliers who can fabricate materials for your project

Explore all your choices by looking at the array of manufacturers out there. Having options means that, once you decide what you need, you have a list of companies from which you can choose the one that has the right products. Whether you're looking for heavy-duty support, lighter framework, or pre-fabricated building supplies, there's a wealth of steel beam information available - use it.

I recommend: Find steel beam suppliers by starting at ThomasNet, where you can browse companies and see what's available. You can also request information about products and services from Central Steel and Wire Company, or get "matched" to steel beam manufacturers at HomeBlue.

Look for basic steel H beam, steel I beams and structurals

Whether you're looking in the steel H beam market or searching for more basic steel I beams or other structural steel beams, several companies exist that can work with you. Have your specifications for construction steel beams in mind.

I recommend: Look up various specifications available at eFunda or Illinois Steel Service. They have expertise in various kinds of steel beam manufacturing, including hot and cold forming processes such as rolling. They have charts and tables which can help you identify, see properties of and even customize the design when you buy steel beams. In addition, get some early online quotes from companies like Versa-Steel and Service Steel Warehouse. Parker Steel deals only in metric measurements.

See if pre-fabricated steel beam buildings are a viable option

If you're looking for a quicker alternative to erecting buildings from scratch, look into pre-fabricated buildings. These are structures that use steel beam frames attached to sheet or corrugated metal 'skins.' Good for storage, warehousing or other functions that require lots of open space, pre-fabricated steel buildings are faster and simpler to put up.

I recommend: Look for examples of pre-fabricated steel beam buildings at American Steel Structures Inc., or customize your building and get a price quote at Olympia Steel Buildings.

• Used steel beams often sell for a lot cheaper. Weigh your needs and keep this option in mind; used steel beams will help your budget.

Guide to Pricing and Costs of Steel Beams

Find the best structural steel beam prices for your project

By Terri Deno

Construction steel beams are used in a variety of projects, from small greenhouses all the way up to big city high rise buildings. Structural steel beam prices vary according to many factors, including the size and shape of the beam (steel H-beam and steel I-beams are the most common). Once you choose the right steel beams for your project, the next step is to find steel beams for sale at the best price to save money.

The pricing and costs of steel beams varies with the type of beam you buy. Cost also depends on the condition of the product and the manufacturer you purchase from. Some cost-saving ideas for acquiring steel beams include:

1. Buy steel beams in bulk lots for multiple projects.

2. Choose providers of used steel beams.

3. Get the right steel beam sizes for the project to cut down on material waste.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Consider used steel I-beams for your project

I-beams are the backbone of the steel beam industry. You can use I-beams in almost any type of project to serve as the structural element in the design. Used beams can be acquired just as easily as new beams, and you can usually pay around $10 or less per beam.

I recommend: Ingram Equipment Company provides many deals on used steel I-beams and other steel materials. Another provider of many used construction products, including used I-beams, is Mathiowetz Construction.

Order a structural steel beam for heavy duty projects

Steel beams are graded into categories based on how much weight they can hold. Stronger beams are considered structural beams that can be used to construct building skeletons. They are also often used for structuring ceilings in large, open areas. Structural beams can cost around $15 to $30 per unit.

I recommend: UGS provides information on the applications, tolerance and dimensions of the structural steel beams it provides. If you are looking for structural steel beams in all different lengths and sizes, choose from the supply at Illinois Steel Service.

Get fabricated steel beams for custom projects

If you need specialty steel beams, or just want the convenience of using beams manufactured specifically for your project, choose a supplier that offers fabricated steel beams and other fabricated steel products. Fabricated steel costs about the same as structural steel but you could pay a little more, up to $100 per beam depending on the customization.

I recommend: New Age Steel offers fabricated steel I-beams for all your projects. CMC Alamo Steel can also offer fabricated beams in all sizes for all types of structural projects.

Tips & Tactics

• To avoid wasting materials on the job site, make sure to get proper measurements for all the steel beams you need to complete the job.

Guide to Steel Beams Construction Education and Training

Choose reliable sources for steel beams construction education and training

By Terri Deno

Steel beams are a crucial part of many structures, including buildings and bridges. Skyscrapers would not exist without the strength and durability of construction steel beams. Anyone that uses steel I-beams for construction should have a thorough understanding of the steel used to make the beams, steel beam prices and the quality of the building material. You may also need training on how to work with used steel beams.

Contractors, construction workers, anyone who works with steel beams can benefit from education and training. Welders and ironworkers can also benefit from education about fabricated steel beams, as it is their job to make sure the beams are secure. The best training sources come from:

1. Basic construction classes that cover all aspects of working at a construction site.

2. Specific training for those who work with steel beams.

3. Additional training resources and refresher courses for certified construction workers.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find apprenticeships to get hands-on experience building with commercial steel beams

An apprenticeship is the best way to learn about working with steel beams. These are on-the-job training programs where you to will work with steel under the supervision of a professional. You'll also learn how to use the necessary tools, and get safety training on the job.

I recommend: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, apprenticeships are the best way to train for a job in the steel construction industry. Ironworkers Local 401 and many other local unions provide apprenticeship programs that allow students to learn all the skills necessary to work with steel in all its forms. Steelworkers' Summer, sponsored by United Steelworkers, is a summer internship program for those who want to train as a steelworker in the future.

Sign up for a program that teaches you to work with structural steel beams

Once you're trained to work at a construction site, the next step is to get into more specific training. Formal training will teach you about the equipment related to working with steel beams, as well as the construction methods used to erect steel beams.

I recommend: The Cold-Formed Steel Engineers Institute offers cold steel framing courses both online and in-person for members of the Steel Framing Alliance. The Edison Welding Institute offers courses in welding that provide the skills needed to work on buildings and other large construction projects.

Find additional resources to learn about steel beam sizes, techniques and regulations

Anyone that works at a construction site knows that there are government regulations to follow, as well as regulations at the state and local level. These regulations, along with other useful knowledge, can be found on many websites to supplement your steel beam education.

I recommend: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides all the national safety standards and regulations for erecting buildings using various types of steel beams. The American Welding Society provides seminars, conferences, competitions and training materials for those learning to weld with steel and other metals.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• Because structural steel beams come in a variety of types and sizes, it is a good idea to take courses that train you to work with each type.
