Price per metre square of a portal frame roof?

[steveR]

I have looked back at some threads and cannot find anything quite what I am looking for...

I have a now redundant sugar beet clamp, deep reinforced concrete floor and with concrete filled breeze blocks about 10m down each side with another 15m without sides. Width about 12m.

I am exploring the possibility of tapping into the Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF) grant funding to create a covered FYM store to allow yards to be emptied now and then spread in Spring where I cannot get onto land at in Winter. Grant is currently £62/sq Metre.

I have rung around a couple of steel erection companies, but they are all a bit reluctant to give an indicative price, which I can partially understand, but before I invest any real time in the project, I actually need to know if its viable for me!

So Gents, anyone like to hazard a fag packet cost of a roof on legs, 25m long x 13m wide at this time. Fibre cement roof for life under steaming muck, and basic steel guttering each side. As an ageing one man band, I am finished with putting up sheds now, so it will have to be erected, but I am aware of some local lads that will come in and do the roofing etc at a sensible price if that is a cheaper option.

prices i have got for a straw shed we are looking at doing, f/c roof, clad in steel on 2 sides. galv steel. 50ft wide is toward 7/sq ft, 60ft wide is toward the lower end of 6. sq/ft/ hope that helps a bit

 

[steveR]

Thanks Matt, that £6/sq ft ?

I make that about £65/sq metre which is manageable from my perspective

 

[Matt]

Yeah but that would poss be on lower side.

Yeah but that would poss be on lower side.

I actually had an estimate/quote come in tonight from one enquiry, and it works out at approx £64/sq metre for a roof with 5m legs, so your figure looks spot on, albeit, I don't want sides.... yet! Once it's up,it will be used for more than just muck I suspect...

Now to see if the idea is a goer still. It was 12 months ago, so I am hopeful.

I've had a quote for a 9000 square foot cubicle shed. the shed is 16ft to eaves ,roof is big 6 fc, both gable ends clad down to 5 ft, and comes in erected @ £5.11 a square foot.

You will need 24ft legs to tip big trailers
Kit will cost £10k
Allow £8k to erect
Thats £62/ sq m

As soon as you tell anyone it is for a grant job the price will come up to meet the funding. We will be applying for a muck store as well this year...

Out of interest, does grant money show in accounts as income? I.e, is it taxable.

it was when we were going to apply for variable speed vacuum pump/milk pump 4 years ago
