TMT Steel Procurement:  What Indian Construction Buyers Should Know

FAQ's

We recommend sharing your approved grade, bar diameters, quantities, delivery location, and required dates. These details help us quote against your actual project needs.

We recommend buying the exact grade specified by your structural engineer. Your building design, loads, and site conditions should guide this choice, not price alone.

We recommend checking the manufacturer’s BIS licence and matching the mill test certificate to your delivery. Check the grade, size, heat number, and recorded test results.

We suggest comparing the grade, brand, diameter mix, freight, taxes, and payment terms. A lower quoted rate may leave out costs included in another offer.

We advise getting written approval from your structural engineer before accepting a substitute. A higher strength grade doesn’t automatically meet every requirement of your approved design.

We recommend using your latest approved bar bending schedule to calculate quantities. Ask your engineer to confirm cutting allowances rather than adding an arbitrary extra percentage.

We suggest matching purchases to your work schedule, budget, and storage space. Phased deliveries can ease site congestion, but each stage needs enough procurement time.

We recommend checking bundle identification, grade, diameters, quantities, visible damage, and delivery records before acceptance. Record any mismatch promptly, before cutting or mixing stock.

We suggest checking the agreed billing basis and weighbridge records first. Record the difference and contact your supplier before accepting the invoice as correct.

We recommend asking your site engineer to assess rust before use. Light surface rust differs from deep pitting or loose scale, so appearance alone cannot confirm acceptance.

We recommend raised supports, drainage, and suitable cover that limits rain exposure without trapping moisture. Keep grades and diameters separate, with bundle tags visible.
