Question
Why should the estimator list each of the different shapes (such as columns and steel joists) separately is structural steel estimating?
The costs of paint and finishes will vary.
The weight per foot vary and the cost per ton may vary
To make the ordering of materials easy
The costs of materials changes with the market

Explanation / Answer
(a) The cost of paintaand finishes may vary but that does not require to make estimation of the shapes seperately. Ordering the paints and finishes on a whole will do.
Therefore, the opton 'a' is not correct.
(c) the material can be ordered by making an rough estimate of the structure or by taking reference of the similar structure.
Therefore, the option 'c' is not correct.
(d) The cost of material changes with the market but it alone is not the reason for making detailed estimation.
Therefore, the option 'd' is not correct.
(b) The the weight of the material or loading on the structures changes per foot and at the same time the cost per ton of the material changes with the market.
Therefore, the correct option is b.
