When building any type of structure with steel, there are many aspects to be considered. Are the plans drawn to scale? Do we have enough metal for this project?

If the units are incorrect or inconsistent in the
. plans, there could be big trouble. To use a steel weight calculator, click here http://www.steelforge.com/steelweights.htm
