Steel Garage Frame - Deal or No Deal?

[hmpmarketing]

Hey guys,

 

Im thinking about challenging myself and do some of the work for my garage. I have 0% experience in building stuff (I am programmer: I can build you software not hardware!).

 

Chasing timber frame providers at the moment to provide me the structure delivered and assembled. I will then work my way adding roof, tiles , insulation cladding, render etc.....

 

So I came upon this Yorkshire based company that can provide you the whole structure in steel (8m X 6m):

 

 

Quote price for the whole structure delivered and assembled: £8k (mind you Im in the south)

 

What you guys think?

Is that the finished price, erected, clad, rendered, roofed etc?

Top of my head buy 4*2 frame stick built, covered in OSB for that size will be around £3k for material.

The metal might need an OSB lining and cladding on top of this price...and you will have to have the base pre built.

Go timber I say

When I search "garage building costs" I got quite a selection of both steel and timber double garages in the 'Shopping' tab, priced at around £5,000. Might be worth shopping around.
