In the second of two articles on the cost of structural steelwork, Chris Dolling and David Moore provide insight on best practice for optimising costs for steel construction.

Synopsis
Cost is a key consideration in many design decisions, so an understanding of approximate costs and cost drivers is a professional skill that structural engineers are advised to develop through their careers. This article – the second of two – presents some best practice design guidance for optimising the cost of steel construction to provide best value during design development.
