Steel Buildings

Peeps,

Had a fire at work, destroyed one unit which was all timber. Won't go into it, but we need to replace asap. Does anyone have first hand experience of costs (yep, it turns out destroyed building wasn't insured!!!), complexity of installation, longevity and how quick it can be installed.

Approx sizes 6m x 7m x 5m high.

Cheers very much

Uninsured timber building?
Ouch!!!
Never mind, the person who decided not to insure that building can always get a job as head of security for the inland revenue

your delay could be the planning permission to build a new building,

you could look at the modular type of steel building if it is quick.

I have expressed my opinion to him - it was my father

I've suggested we build from concrete blocks next time, so not only did he moan about the price of the insurance, he's now moaning about cost of rebuild. Fortunately it's not very big and we haven't lost any work, just power tools, welding equipment etc etc. We do have loads of hammers without handles though

I believe there may be a vacancy with the FA to manage the national football team.
