Steel buildings can be a cost effective option for you. The turnaround for the design, supply and erection of the steel buildings are impressively short. For example timescales for an average double garage would typically be: building design and basic costs design completed that day (or couple of days if a few design options are required.) The order and delivery of the materials are between 3-4 weeks. Erection of a double garage would typically take 3-4 days, weather depending. If erecting the building yourself it may be prudent to add a contingency to the building time.
