Steel fixing on South West Sydney sites
On site
- Cages tied on blinding with cover checked before the inspection
- Retaining and basement walls measured separately from the slabs
- Tied inside our own formwork so the wall pour follows in the same week
- Mesh placed, lapped and chaired to the detail
Much of the south west's work is footings and ground slabs for duplexes, townhouses and light industrial sheds, where the tonnage is low and the time is in the set-out. Those jobs are usually better for the builder as day labour per man per day, and the quotation shows that basis beside the per-tonne rate for the slabs so the estimator can compare.
Apartment buildings along the rail corridors are priced the way they are anywhere: bottom and top mats per tonne, mesh per sheet, PT slabs on their own rate. Cages for piles and pier caps are tied on blinding with cover checked before the inspection, and starter bars are left correct for the lift above so the next crew is not waiting on a fix.
Retaining walls and basement walls in the south west's sandier ground carry heavier vertical steel and more ligatures than the slabs above them. They are measured separately, and the crew ties them inside our own formwork so the wall pour follows the inspection in the same week.
How steel fixing is priced in South West Sydney
Footings and ground slabs are usually priced as day labour per man per day because the tonnage is low; slab steel per tonne; mesh per sheet. The quotation shows both bases beside each other where it helps the estimator compare, and states whether it is supply and fix or fix only.
Questions South West Sydney builders ask
Is day labour cheaper than per tonne for footings?
Usually, because footing steel is light and slow to set out. The quotation shows both bases so the builder can choose.
Do you fix mesh for ground slabs?
Yes. SL and RL mesh placed, lapped and chaired to the detail, priced per sheet.
Who inspects the steel?
The builder's engineer. Our job is to have it tied, covered and inspection-ready when they arrive.
