got a little idea i am trying to get an idea of price, does anyone know a rough price to lay a 25mtr x 15mtr concrete pad that would be a base for a steel single storey building

Maybe ring some local builders for quotes? or hire a mixer and do it yourself?

as355f1

could do but just trying to work a rough cost out tonight

Shings

You need a depth too.

It aint as simple as a concrete pad.

Needs something to bed on - a hardcore base with sand blinding which will need compacting.

ok say it was in a field and it needs base and pad thick enough for a steel garage workshop to go on top

Shings

Do a bit of research on tinterweb..

But 25mx15m is more like a barn than a shed.

Shings

and it'll want planning permission that big too...

A steel structure is permenant

i know it needs planning permission, i am trying to get a rough idea of price for a new workshop for my buisness before i make an offer on the land

Chris Latham

For a base that is 25m x 15m x 100mm deep you will be looking at around 38m3 of concrete or 63 tonne

For a base that is 25m x 15m x 150mm deep you will be looking at at around 57m3 or 94 tonnes.

Ready-mixed concrete varies in price across the country from as little as £40/m³ up to £70/m³

So if you meet it in the middle at £55/m³, the 100mm deep base will be £2090 and the 150mm base will be £3135.

make sure you get fibres in your mix as it adds strength the to base.

perfect thats just what i needed

Lee Reynolds

Yes nice one chris. Just to add though i wouldn't go fibre id go reinforced with mesh and it will need at least one expansion joint in it

i wouldn't think a joint will be necessary for something that size,depending on the land around it, mesh would give it good extra stability though.

as355f1

if and when the time comes i will be getting a proper company to do all the ground works so would imagine they should know what is required, just needed a rough price at the moment to work my cash out

Shings

Thats the conc. only though not the labour or digging or owt else

as355f1

what would you think the ground works might cost ?

danneth

or up to £90

Chris Latham

Nice one Lee, i forgot to add that one in too. Deffo reinforced with mesh and one expansion joint.
