[QUOTE="warksfarmer, post: 952848, member: 192"] It's more hassle but if you split the build down instead of going for a total package you will save a lot. We used a local fabricator who came on site measured up then gave us a shopping list. We bought the materials from various suppliers using the cheapest priced materials from each but making sure it was the exact spec required. The fabricator built the shed whilst we dug out for the uprights. He then positioned them and we ordered the concrete doing them all in a day. We hired a long reach telescopic as well for a week. I should say the hard standing was already done as it was built on hard standing yard area which used to have an old Dutch barn on it. So in that week with the machine on hire the fabricator erected the shed and put the whole frame up and roof panels on. Then with the farms loader we put the concrete panels in and then cladded down. Once this was done we had a 3cx and operator in for a day to level the floor up and top it off, we hired a roller and rolled it ourselves, then a concrete layer in for the floor. Again we bought the concrete ourselves. Did the electrics in house so saved on that cost but it's only single phase as the 3 phase cable in the end was a frightening cost. Bit of a phaff to be honest but it's cheaper. Same fabricator has just quoted for a separate job and the labour price is now up by 10%. [/QUOTE]
