Abstract

The costs of a construction consisting of material, production, transport, installation and maintenance costs. The manufacturing costs of welded structures include cutting, preparation (assembly and stitching), welding, ancillary (electrode changing, deslagging, cleaning) and painting costs. In this paper, a review is made to show some newer manufacturing technologies and their cost calculation opportunities. To calculate the costs for comparison purposes, we rely on internationally measured times and multiply them by a variable cost factor.
