Pricing factors

What moves the price?

Understanding these factors helps you compare quotes accurately.

  • Size & span
    Larger clear-span widths need heavier aluminium/steel sections and more labour. Price scales roughly linearly with area.
  • Wall / roof material
    PVC is the most economical, glass is premium, and ABS hard-wall is the most durable for semi-permanent use.
  • Site location & access
    Haulage, crew travel, crane access and ground conditions all affect logistics. Remote sites or poor road access add cost.
  • Purpose & load requirements
    Warehouse and industrial covers may need higher wind/snow loads, concrete footings and structural steel — priced on survey.
