I'm looking at a project to put up a steel building for storage - approx 15m x 15m. Location is Hampshire.

Any suggestions for suppliers? I'd prefer someone who could provide a turnkey solution including groundworks etc, but a building-only supplier would be fine.

There are so many suppliers out there it's hard to know where to start. At the moment it's a feasibility study to work out if it is affordable.

Thanks.

Cant help with suggesting anyone in your neck of the woods

But i can say having done the same, the big factor is how insulated a steel building you pick, this has a big impact on cost.

And groundworks is always costly, most of the cost on these projects is cost for stuff you dont see excavation drainage etc.

Thanks - I've found a company who are happy to quote for building and (basic) groundworks. I also realised that one of my customers is a builder and he will take a look when the time comes too.

It would be whole lot less cost to have two 7.5M bays 15M long rather than a 15M span but you will have posts in the middle and the devil of a valley gutter!
