Digmixfill Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'm going to get a price for web joists. With all other items so far I've found large variations in costs between suppliers for the same products. In most cases it has been worthwhile spending time on multiple quotes. Are web joists the same and worth the effort of tracking down better prices, or will I find that multiple quotes come in at pretty much the same price?

ToughButterCup Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Not sure that the core price varies that much (Lancashire), but transport cost do. And thats what makes the difference. Our 3 POSI quotes were within a couple of hundred: one company was happy to take responsibility for the measuements (which weren't that accurate).

Digmixfill Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 That's not too bad in my case. I'll have to measure each joist span once the hangers are in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you order them with trimable blocks on the ends, so you can tweak a good fit in site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. The droop on the tape measure will be an error to compensate for. How much extra trimmable stuff is on the ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
