You choose:
Size - Any length, width or height; also any shape
Roof - An apex roof or 'lean to', with roof lights and pitch to your requirements. Modern steel roof cladding can even be made to look like pantiles or slates.
Door(s) - Size, type (hinged, 'up and over', sliding or roller shutter), material, position
Insulation and ventilation - If required, can be designed in
Cladding - Timber (vertical or horizontal), coloured or plastic coated box-profile steel or natural or coloured fibre cement
Walls - I can supply cladding or pre-cast concrete wall panels, or your local builder could construct block/brick/stone walls
Other options include - An overhead crane for engine removal, a storage loft, windows etc. It is also possible to have a curved roof or a shed similar to a nissan hut.
As each building is designed to your requirements, it is impossible to give even a guide price. I try to provide what you want, and of course this means budget as well as specification. Small projects are just as important as big ones. The smallest building was a double toilet block, the cheapest was a large car-port type of structure and the largest the steelwork for an indoor riding arena, measuring 40 metres x 20 metres internally.
Planning permision may be required. I will be pleased to help with your application

A curved roof on a steel frame is normally only within the capabilities of much larger companies. Don’t forget we can also fabricate handrails, staircases and balconies, gates, and of course cattle grids. We welcome the challenge of the unusual!

Restoring an old and dilapidated garage |
|
|
|
|
|
This wooden garage was falling down, but to replace it the customer would have needed planning permission from the Peak Park, which we were told would be unlikeley. |
|
First we designed and fitted a strong steel frame to fit inside the building, and used it to steady the structure whilst we removed the roof and rotten wall, and then used it to pull the rest of the garage square and upright once again. |
|
We next added the timber which would support the new wall and roof. We had a flashing pressed to take any rain that hits the wall outside the building, and then fitted the tongue and grooved wall planks. All timber was tanalised to prevent further rotting. |
|
Finally we fitted underslating felt to keep any condensation out, and topped it off with artificial slates, to give a lightweight and attractive roof. |
The Ultimate Motor House This featured, on the right hand side, a fully insulated garage for the customer's classic cars, with a first floor office and workroom above. The foundations, stonework and concrete floor were completed by a local builder. The two large timber faced pairs of doors gives access to a tractor and machinery shed and workshop, with a mezzanine storage loft.

A Timber Clad Workshop A tractor workshop, timber clad to look like a contempoary farm building |

Hinged Doors Hinged doors are slightly cheaper than sliding doors, and give a larger opening on a small gable
|
|
Flexibility of the Construction Method This agricultural building (unfinished) shows some possibilities, an overhanging canopy at the front and a two story part narrower than and off-centre to the main building. |
