What is the cost per square metre for a steel frame building?

[CONFIRM: insert confirmed cost range]

How long does construction take?

Typical programme runs from initial design through fabrication to completed erection, with timelines confirmed at quote stage based on span and finish.

Do I need planning permission?

Most industrial steel frame buildings require planning permission and building regulations approval, both of which MSB manages as part of the design and build service.

Service

Steel Framed Buildings - Portal Frame Design & Build UK

MSB Group designs, fabricates and erects steel framed buildings across the UK, engineered to your site and brief rather than sold as a standard kit package.

MSB Group designs, fabricates and erects steel framed buildings across the UK. We build portal frame structures for industrial, commercial and agricultural use, engineered to your site and your brief rather than sold as a standard kit package. Because MSB fabricates and erects in-house, one team is accountable from the structural drawings to the finished frame - there is no separate fabricator to chase and no handoff between design and construction.
