Miscellaneous metals, often abbreviated as "misc metals," refers to a broad category of metal components and elements that are integral to a construction project but don't fall under the primary structural framework. These components encompass a wide range of items, including but not limited to handrails, stairs, ladders, ornamental metalwork, gratings, fences, gates, and other non-structural metal elements. The term "miscellaneous metals" is used to distinguish these items from the main structural steel components, such as beams and columns.
