Commercial Steel Buildings

Why Choose a Commercial Steel Building?

• Speed — supplied as a self-build kit with full instructions, a steel building goes up in a fraction of the time a traditional build takes.
• Cost — steel construction comes in well below the cost of masonry, without giving up strength or usable life.
• Strength and durability — steel is non-combustible, weatherproof and low-maintenance, built to stand up to the elements for the long term.
• Flexibility — every building is made to order, so it's configured around the space and use you actually need.
• Often no planning permission — many commercial steel buildings fall within permitted development, covered in more detail below.

Do Steel Buildings Need Planning Permission?

In many cases, a commercial steel building falls within permitted development rights, which means planning permission isn't required — commonly where the building sits at least 2m from your boundary and within the size and use limits that apply to your site. The rules vary by location, use class and individual circumstances, so confirm your specific situation with your local planning authority or the Planning Portal before you order. Our team can talk you through the typical requirements when you enquire.

Uses for Commercial Steel Buildings

Made to order, these buildings suit a wide range of commercial and industrial uses:

• Warehousing and storage — secure space for stock, equipment and machinery.
• Workshops and industrial units — durable working space for manufacturing, maintenance or trade use.
• Garages and vehicle storage — covered, lockable space for vehicles and plant.
• Agricultural and farm buildings — practical, hard-wearing storage for the land.
• Offices and retail — configured to order where a finished interior is needed.

For lighter-duty or temporary storage needs, our storage tents are an alternative worth considering.

Made-to-Order and Custom Steel Buildings

There's no off-the-shelf compromise here. Choose your length from 9m through to 57m, then configure the layout, openings and finish around your requirements. Design visualisation is available so you can see the building before you commit, and the team will put together an accurate quote once they understand what you need.
