Steel-Framed Building Project Overview
Our client approached Midbrook Steel Buildings in search of a high-quality solution for a combined home gym and garage. After exploring various options—including oak-framed structures, which proved too costly—they chose a steel-framed building for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and cost-effectiveness.
Turnkey Steel Frame Building Costs
Every steel-framed building project is unique, with costs varying depending on size, location, and specific requirements. A supply-and-fit steel building similar to this would start from £50,000 + VAT. Additional features such as bifold doors, groundworks, and planning permission support can increase the overall cost.

Timeline
- Groundworks: 2–3 weeks
- Steel Building & Cladding (including internal partition): 3 weeks
Client Challenges
Our client needed a versatile, low-maintenance structure that could function as both a gym and a secure garage. Other building options were too expensive, and they wanted something that complemented their existing property while offering insulation, security, and year-round usability. Whether for working out, washing the car, or simply unwinding, they required a practical and stylish space without the high upkeep costs.
Midbrook Solution
To meet these requirements, we provided a bespoke steel-framed building as part of our turnkey package, including groundworks, internal partitions, and high-quality insulated cladding in Anthracite to match their property. The design prioritised durability, security, and energy efficiency while ensuring the space was both functional and visually appealing.
Steel Building Execution
The 10m x 18m steel-framed building featured a dual-pitched roof (19.5°), three bays, and an eaves height of 2.5m. Key features included:
- Electrically operated roller shutter door for convenience
- Steel security door for enhanced protection
- Internal steel door separating the gym and garage
Midbrook’s expert team managed everything from site preparation to the completed steel building, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free build with minimal disruption.
Results & Benefits
The completed steel building exceeded expectations, providing a secure, insulated, and multi-purpose space. The garage offers year-round protection for vehicles, while the gym is set up exactly how the client wants it—no waiting for equipment! Thanks to durable, low-maintenance materials, they can enjoy the space without ongoing upkeep. Plus, the weatherproof design means they can wash their car in any conditions, making it a truly practical and enjoyable investment.
