Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

  3. Q3

    Does the price include install, finish and delivery?

Questions

Structural steel FAQ

Does the fabricator need CWB certification?

For welded structures built to CSA S16, yes. CWB says the fabricator and erector must meet CSA W47.1 in Division 1 or 2.

What does a steel beam cost in Ottawa?

An Ottawa design firm budgets $3,000 to $10,000 and up for a steel beam and posts, installed. A Toronto guide puts a W beam at $4,500 to $12,000.

Do I need a permit to remove a load-bearing wall?

Yes. In Ottawa it needs a building permit and stamped engineering drawings, says one Ottawa design firm.

How can I check a CWB certificate?

Search the company in the CWB Group's online directory. It shows the standard and division.

Where are railings and stairs?

They have their own page now: railings and stairs, with prices per foot.

Good to know

  • Structural work usually needs engineered drawings. Ask who provides them.
  • Beams are priced per job: span, size, access and install all count.
  • Railings and stairs have their own page.
