§ 01 / TWO WAYS TO BILL

Hourly or per-piece.

Most mobile welding is priced one of two ways. The right one depends on whether your scope is locked or open.

01 ─ HR
Scope-Based Hourly
Best for shop overflow, field work, and one-off calls where the scope is not fully defined. Machine, consumables, and PPE are agreed up front so it lands as a single clean line on your PO, not a pile of add-ons.
Open scopeSingle PO line
02 ─ PC
Fixed Per-Piece
Best for production runs where the print is locked and the same weld repeats: fillet welds, CJP moment connections, column splices. Predictable, and usually better value once volume is known.

REWORK IS INCLUDED UNTIL THE WELD PASSES INSPECTION

§ 02 / WHAT MOVES THE NUMBER

What drives
the price.

Two welds are rarely the same job. These are the things that push a mobile welding quote up or down.

A ─ JNT
Joint & Process
A production fillet run is one thing; an all-position CJP moment connection that has to pass UT is another. Joint type, position, and inspection level drive the time per weld.
Fillet to CJPTime per weld
B ─ ACC
Access & Conditions
Easy shop access versus overhead in a lift, tight quarters, or weather in the field. Harder access means more setup and slower production.
Shop vs fieldSetup time
C ─ MAT
Who Supplies Material
Steel, consumables, and backing supplied by you or by FeC, decided up front. Client-supplied material lowers the line; FeC-supplied is a convenience, priced in.
Client / FeCAgreed up front
D ─ TRV
Travel & Mobilization
An 8-hour minimum per mobilization keeps short trips fair on both sides. Inside 60 miles of Westmoreland, NH there is no per diem; beyond that, GSA standard applies.
8 hr minimum60 mi / GSA
E ─ VOL
Volume
More of the same weld lowers the per-piece price. A locked, repeating print is where fixed pricing pays off versus the hourly model.

§ 03 / FAQ

Cost questions.

The questions people ask before they send a print.

Q ─ 01
What It Costs
Scope-based hourly or fixed per-piece, with an 8-hour minimum mobilization and a GSA per diem beyond 60 miles. The cleanest way to a number is a same-day rate card or a live quote from the calculator.
Hourly / per-piece8 hr minimum
Q ─ 02
Per Hour
Hourly rate depends on scope, cert level, and whether FeC supplies the machine and consumables. It is quoted up front as one PO line, with the 8-hour minimum instead of nickel-and-diming short visits.
Quoted up frontSingle line
Q ─ 03
Cheaper Option
Hourly fits open or one-off scope; per-piece is predictable and usually better value on locked, repeating production runs.
