DIRECT ANSWERQuotation cost combines pressure-boundary material and bought-out items, forming and welding labour, heat treatment and NDE, testing, surface treatment, documents, packing, transport and project-management scope.
Comparable cost breakdown
- Material grade, quantity, thickness and purchased components
- Geometry, forming, welding and assembly complexity
- Inspection, heat treatment, testing and records
- Coating, packing, transport and site-service exclusions
Relevant manufacturing capability
- Drawing, datasheet and equipment-list manufacturability review
- Self-manufactured and coordinated-supply scope identification
- Technical, quality, document and delivery clarification
Key notes
- Price per tonne is only an early indicator and cannot replace a scope-based quote.
