Strengthen Your Building using GharHub

The structural support of any grey structure is steel (Sarya). It supports tensile stress, stabilizes concrete, allows no cracking and makes your building survive over the long term load. Homeowners intending to build, contractors intending to make BOQs, or developers intending to carry out large pours in Pakistan should get familiar with the cost of steel in the Pakistani market today, to ensure the accuracy of cost and the structural integrity of a construction.

This expert system explains the principle of steel prices, the current price levels this week and how to compare the quotes the right way to ensure you buy the good, original reinforcement bars but not at overcharge.

What does“today steel price in Pakistan” actually mean?

There is no national price, but online steel rates provided on a daily basis are retail indicators.

Actual invoices depend on:

• Brand (Amreli, Mughal, Kamran, Agha, Ittefaq, etc.)
• Grade (Grade 60 vs Grade 40)
• Bar diameter (10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm)
• Freight and city distance
• Dealer margin
• Cash vs credit
• On-site vs ex warehouse basis.

It is possible to sell the steel at a different price to two buyers on the same day due to the movement of steel markets based on scrap imports, mill production costs, and transportation variables.

To compare correctly, make all quotes the same using:

Brand + Grade + Diameter + City Delivery Basis.

Understanding “Saria ka rate” versus invoice price

The majority of the people type in the query Saria ka rate hoping to receive one number.

However, the actual invoice varies on:

• Grade: Grade 60 is standard load -bearing structures.
• Diameter of bars: The narrower the bar, the higher its price per kg.
• Cutting: Including and analyzing bending: charged sometimes independently.
• Packaging: Bundled vs loose
• The rods with shorter lengths: Tend to be more costly.
• Freight: It differs drastically depending on city and mill distance.

It is always important to transform quotes into PKR per ton delivered-to-site so that you can do an equitable comparison of a BOQ.

City-wise nuance: why Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad differ

The price of steel in the different parts of the world depends on:

• Karachi: Closeness to mills – cheaper ex-factory at the expense of the urban logistics.
• Lahore: Competitive because of having several distributors.
• Islamabad/Rawalpindi: Rates are affected by freight in the central Punjab.

Comparisons between cities only make sense when brand, grade and diameter are the same.

How to read and negotiate the steel rate in Pakistan today?

Systematic approach makes the reinforcement budgets constant:

• Compensate all quotes to per-ton Grade 60.
• Grades 40 and Grade 60 should not be mixed in structural BOQs.
• Demand delivered-to-site pricing, not just mill rate.
• Check bundle seal, embossing brands and mark of batch.
• Deliver matched American steel according to the pouring timetables so that there is no accumulation of rust.
• Request weight is requested to ensure tonnage.
• Compare 2-3 suppliers of one brand and different diameters.
• Record all the quotes in terms of date, brand, grade, diameter, and basis of delivery.

What is the steel price in Pakistan today?

The steel prices fluctuate according to demand, brand, international scrap rates, and cost of production. 

What are the present steel prices?

Present steel rates (Grade 60, Grade 40, and branded alternatives) range between PKR 264/kg to 269/kg due to movements in the market, which can be compared with the price trend graph above.

What is the price of 1 tonne of steel?

A ton of steel does not cost the same depending on the factory, brand, and transportation. Tonnage cost computation can be done based on the per-kg or per-bundle option 

Use the current steel rate in Pakistan as a brand specific, grade specific, city specific value, rather than a determinate national value. Before locking your BOQs, confirm that you have the correct grade of the raw material, diameter, and the basis of delivery and its authenticity. You ensure that reinforcement costs are predictable by comparing and contracting with multiple suppliers and ensuring that your purchases match the market dynamics to ensure the structural strength that your project needs.
