Hi Samart
Regarding the cost of the shelves made in Thailand.
We designed the shelf so that it can be shipped to site in parts and assembled on site.
In the past we have found this to be a very economical cost saving method.
Now we estimate that in a 40’ container we can fit 126 disassembled shelves. So to your price we have to add approximately NZ$80 for shipping and transport within NZ.
We also estimate that we need 1.5 to 2 man hours to assemble each shelf, when the shelves are assembled in a jig.
Based on these assumptions we estimate that a price of around the NZ$ 800 to 850 would be in the right order to be delivered disassembled ex works Thailand.
If you can do it for a better price we would be happy.
I am meeting the client in question on Monday and it looks like they are now considering splitting the total capacity in 2 tunnels so the first tunnel will require some 341 shelves.
Knowing the prices for the shelves is important to us as it will give us a basis for estimating other steel components from Thailand for several projects we are considering.
WE look forwards to your response
