Just done a 120/60 for a lot less than that
Why the cast-in-situ walls vs pre-cast panels?
Apologies missed that post,
With the precedent set in the May vs HMRC case, I have been considering cast in situ walls for a horizontal grain silo (no longer need them to be removable just for capital allowance reasons)
Building manufacturers seem very wary of the idea. I cant decide if this is just because “its not the norm”.
“It will be far more expensive than concrete panels” “What if it was to crack?” Etc etc

Yep put one or two robinsons ones up with a mate that does sheds for people, they are decent sheds, the 20ft purlins do sag slightly and the timbers all tend to be to drill and notch yourselves but apart from that they are good sheds

What was the precedent?
That in certain scenarios the whole building can be classed as plant.
cast in situ walls maybe cheaper than panels but you need to price both ways.
Just got price for 145mm thick panels delivered at £42/m2 but would need to check stantions could support loading as they are the only thing holding up the panels. cast walls are 250mm thick with mesh tied into ringbeam/floor as well as stantioins.
Need to add up cost of rebar & mesh placement, shuttering as well as readymix concrete and labour to get valid comparison.
Panels are quick to install and use, quality of finish is usually very good and consistent, flexible if you want extend shed or move doorway in the future (as we did 2 years ago on another shed).
So for me its not a simple "either or"

Would poured walls not make the shed stronger and be more watertight?

You’re gonna have to get the floor in pretty quick I would think if ready for harvest.
