Garage build in E Midlands

[DocSteve]

Any recommendations welcome - I'm trying to find a contractor to build a light weight detached garage on my property which is brick clad with roof tiles / tile effect (apex roof design) in keeping with neighbouring properties/garages. It has to be lightweight due to a massive culvert underneath (belonging to the water board) it and the water board have stipulated certain requirements. Council planning permission has been granted already and all the design drawings etc are in place.

What I have been looking at is a steel framed building with brick walls or brick clad (the latter seems v expensive) and wondered if anyone knows of a good firm, preferably in the East Midlands, who might be able to quote me on it?

Thanks
Steve

Why have a steel frame if you're having brick walls ?

No footings due to the culvert?

How big is the garage?

Whereabouts in the East Midlands? County would be fine

Hi, thanks - I'm in Nottingham.

Is 7.25m x just over 4m.

A timber framed building would be another option and, yes, the issue is the culvert which prevents a simple brick build garage. Spoken with my Uncle who is a carpenter/joiner in London and he seems to think that a timber frame would be the better option (although would require further building regs approval).

Thanks
