Size of Building

Will it fit on the site. Remember you will always need a minimum of 2000 all round for access equipment

Height

Always remember eaves height is to the top of the steelwork, so at every portal frame the clear height will be restricted by the steelwork

Side Cladding

The choice is: .5th single skin metal, 60mm composite insulation panels, or for the agricultural building, fibre cement or spaced timber boarding

Roof Sheeting

The choice is: .7th single skin metal, 80mm composite insulation panels or fibre cement single skin

Walls

Are there any walls, it is not good practice to clad the building to the floor as sheets tend to rot. A small 450mm high wall would act as an alternative

Standard office walls generally are 2.4 high, or in the case of agricultural buildings, concrete wall panels.
