Steel Industrial Building Prices

According to a 2012 Constructions Markets survey conducted by RICS (the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors), more than 95% of industrial buildings in the UK had steel frames, and were used for a range of different uses from workshops and factories, to warehouses and distribution centres. In general, portal frame units (typically low rise structures comprised of columns and horizontal pitched rafters) with an eaves height of 4m to 8m will cost roughly £150£200 per square metre. Buildings with higher eaves (10m – 13m) that require heavier frames can cost anywhere from £200£300 per square metre.

Additional considerations

When looking to buy, build, or upgrade an industrial steel building, factors other than the final quotation – which can also affect price – need to be taken into account:

  • The design scheme should incorporate a fire protection strategy
  • Urban locations are likely to be inflexible and costly in terms of logistics, so opt for out-of-town locations
  • Renovations to existing buildings might require owners to only work with specific contractors
  • Ensure that the local planning authority has been consulted with, in order to stay informed of restrictions which could impact the choice of steel buildings available.If you’d like to know more about industrial steel building prices please fill out the form at the top of this page and Expert Market UK will contact you.
