What Does Stainless Steel Fabrication Cost in Kenya?
Quick answer: Fabrication cost depends on the stainless grade (201, 304 or 316), the sheet thickness, how much material the design uses, the welding and finishing, and delivery. Ready-made items such as work tables, double sinks and tanks have fixed prices; custom equipment is quoted from a drawing or measurements.
