I know what you mean @RWG Contracts it would get right up my nose to. But I can't help it! Once bitten twice shy.

I don't blame customers. If I was spending tens on thousands of pounds on something I'd be checking as well.
Back to the op have you checked your eves height yet?
Happy at it

he shouldn't have to...job should be done right....when we send stuff off farm we can get it rejected/deducted...even sent back at our expense
to many companies selling stuff ....all glossy...then pee poor service/back up
ref to 'syrian rubble' in poor taste IMO
This is key - all drawings should be signed of by a customer. Last week I was involved with a dispute on my house where 3 expensive rooflights had been ordered the wrong size for the holes. The man that signed off the drawings is responsible not me so he (or his insurance) will cer the cost, Had I signed then the responsibility would rest with me

Hang on though all this could be a misunderstanding is whatvim trying to say. If he's order at shed that's 14' from ffl to eaves height and his eaves height to bottom of panels is 14 then that's right.
The mistake here could be the rep ringing up where do you want your panels, the op has said 2" above base plates. That could have been mistaken as 200mm above base plates (8")
its very easy to blame someone who isn't here to defend themselves

you're telling me that second photo is correctly finished
No it needs some grout under the base plates. Then a nice power floated concrete slab laid and finished by @RWG Contracts

i would think you not far of the mark there it looks like one of the bases has been shuttered up above the ground level

Phone calls are useless! Talking and waving your hands about are also just as useless. What is needed here is a set of accurate drawings. Simples. Then discussions can start. From where I sit and I'm in the middle of doing almost exactly the same as this, there has been a communication error NOT backed up by a PROPER SCALE DRAWING! Showing the elevations, datum and FFL.
It's an easy job to sort but @ £400 per wagon load for quality 75mm down crush, and all the prep including blinding for the DPM, then the concrete on top, not a cheap fix.

That's all standard, it's ready for your concrete.
If you don't want to concrete the floor for now, then Concrete a ring beam, & blind off the floor.
You will be pleased at the point when you do eventually concrete the floor.
As another poster said the Stantions need concreting in end of story.

Has the floor already been dug out and a base put in? If you haven't I can see you will need plenty hardcore to build it back up.

wheres the op gone?
looks like to slope on the site has been the reason to me. they have gone 2" above the ground at the grounds highest point.

Oh dear, looks like a lack of proper communication and drawings.
Always a good idea to get a set of elevations drawn up and signed off before a wheel is turned on any machine. Ideally get a set drawn up yourself for planning, then send them for tender.

Not sure why the stantions necessarily need concreting in. We had a 80 X 60 shed built with bolted down stantions. It stood for 5 years with no concrete over the footplates like a Dutch barn. Granted there were six bolts per foot. If the roof is correctly braced against wind forces why would the force on the feet be anything other than downward and would a few inches of concrete really provide much resistance to bending force anyway? And with a tensile breaking force of at least 50 tonnes and the weight of the panels I don't think it's going to take off.
They need grouting under though.
Looks a standard job to me. Just needs some stone and a decent concrete floor. Jobs a good'un.
I cannot understand how you would to pour a floor only 2" thick, even on hard standing, and not end up with it cracking and separating under traffic.

But the OP stated he didn't want a concrete floor? Concrete solves the problem but it's a very expensive fix if he'd intended to have an earth floor or similar instead.
