  • We assumed that a 15% markup would be made by either TMC or Freedom Steel.  This is an arbitrary number for a comparison.
  • The US Cost is in US$, and the total exchange rate is evaluated at 3% including bank fees.
  • Shipping is factory direct for TMC Engineering.  This means we can pack our flatracks and containers more efficiently and properly at the factory.  It also means we don’t have to transload your shipment at your freight forwarder.  This saves on the number of containers as well as prevents unnecessary damage of the materials.
  • Duty is calculated at 45% of the US Cost.  TMC can save you even more here, as there are various duty rates for different parts of the building.
  • All VAT is calculated at 7.5%
  • Delivery to site is cheaper by TMC, as there are only 3 containers to deliver as opposed to 4.
  • Erection is priced at 25% more by an unknown contractor – TMC provides all of their erection, tools, scaffolding and crane usage in house, saving on the overall installation cost.  Our experienced team is more efficient and faster at installing metal buildings and will save you time on your schedule.
