H-beam is used for columns and primary beams in heavy steel construction — and the first question buyers ask is usually: what does H-beam cost today? Because H-beam is sold by the kg / per length and prices track the market, the exact figure moves. This article explains what determines the H-beam price so you can compare quotes accurately.
What determines the H-beam price?
- Size & weight. H-beam is sold by the kg, so a larger section (e.g. H 200 vs H 150) is heavier and costs more per length. See the H-beam page for available sizes.
- H-beam vs WF. H-beam has a more square section (height ≈ width), unlike WF. See WF vs H-beam before you choose.
- Grade / standard. SS400 / SNI BjP 400 is the common grade; SN490B or special grades usually cost more.
- Mill price & market swings. Steel billet prices move with global prices and the exchange rate — the main reason prices change.
- Volume & delivery. Buying per tonne / per project is cheaper per kg; freight adds to the total.
How to read an H-beam quote
A good quote lists: size, grade, length (usually 12 m), weight per length, price per kg, and total. Confirm there’s a mill certificate and clarity on whether the price includes VAT and freight.
How to get the best H-beam price
- Ask for a written quote with full specs so it’s easy to compare.
- Compare per kg, and confirm full SNI with a mill certificate.
- Check stock — ready stock is faster and often cheaper than indent.
