4. Prepare the space and structure of the construction site
Prepare the structure and spaces where metal carpentry elements will be installed. Ensure frames, structural supports, and surfaces are clean and in optimal condition to receive doors, windows, and railings. This preparation is essential for proper installation of all metal carpentry in new construction work.
What can change your final price
Even similar projects can end with different budgets. These are the factors that most often push costs up or down.
Type and quality of metallic material
Galvanized steel, anodized aluminum, or stainless steel have very different prices. Materials with greater durability and premium finishes significantly increase the final budget.
Total surface area and project complexity
The quantity of linear or square meters of metalwork, as well as the complexity of the design with special angles or curves, directly affect installation time and labor costs.
Accessibility and job site location
Work on upper floors, exposed facades, or hard-to-reach spaces require special equipment such as scaffolding or cranes, which significantly increases the budget.
Need for permits and certifications
Some metalwork projects on facades or structures require technical drawings, certificates of conformity, or administrative procedures that increase the total cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price difference between aluminum and steel in metal carpentry?
Aluminum is generally more economical than stainless steel but more expensive than conventional steel. A budget with aluminum typically costs 10-20% less than stainless steel, but more than basic carbon steel. However, stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance, making it more recommended in coastal areas or with adverse weather conditions. The total cost also depends on the finish (paint, anodizing, lacquering) applied.
What is included in a metal carpentry installation budget?
A complete budget should include: design and technical plans, fabrication of parts in the workshop, materials (metal, rivets, welds, anchors), transport to the site, installation labor, finishes (paint/anodizing), and debris removal. Some budgets may not include certain elements such as special scaffolding, additional structural reinforcement work, or special finishes. It is important to request a detailed breakdown to avoid surprises.
How long does it take to install metal carpentry in new construction?
The time varies depending on complexity. Small and simple projects can be completed in 3-7 days, while medium work requires 1-2 weeks. Large and complex projects may need 2-4 weeks or more. This time includes both workshop fabrication and on-site installation. It is important to account for the fact that fabrication may require additional time if special customizations are needed. You should also consider that the timeline can be extended due to weather conditions, coordination with other trades, or changes requested during the work.
Do I need special permits to install structural metal carpentry?
Yes, any structural metal carpentry element requires technical approval and must comply with the Technical Building Code (CTE). It must have a technical project signed by a technical engineer or civil engineer. Some municipalities require a work permit, especially if it affects the building's structure. It is the responsibility of the contracted company to ensure that all work complies with regulations. Always request conformity certificates and regulatory compliance documentation when work is completed.
What is the typical warranty on metal carpentry installation?
The standard warranty is generally 1-2 years covering manufacturing defects, materials, and labor. Some elements such as anchors and welds may have shorter warranties or may not be covered if the defect is due to misuse. Premium projects can offer warranties of up to 5 years. The warranty typically does not cover damage from external causes (impacts, extreme weather conditions, lack of maintenance), nor oxidation in highly corrosive environments if appropriate materials were not chosen. Always request the warranty in writing and specifying exactly what it covers.
