Here at Murray Steel Buildings, we produce the highest quality commercial steel buildings throughout Great Britain. Our designs can be accurately adjusted and tailored to suit your personal business’ requirements. We have supplied custom car showrooms, vehicle valeting bays, spray painting booths, retail trade units, business premises and many other steel framed commercial structures.
The cost of a commercial steel building depends on its size, span, eaves height and specification, along with the cladding, doors, glazing and any additional features you need. As a guide, our commercial steel buildings start from around £25,000 including VAT:
Choosing single skin cladding or fully insulated composite panels has the biggest effect on price, followed by the number and type of roller doors, sectional doors, windows and personnel doors. Every commercial building we supply is designed around your business, so you only pay for the features you need. We offer free, no-obligation quotations, typically within 24 hours, and you can see more priced examples in our online store: www.murraysteelbuildings.com/online-store
Commercial steel buildings are a cost-effective solution for almost any type of business premises. We have supplied custom car showrooms, vehicle valeting bays, spray painting booths, retail trade units and many other steel framed commercial structures.

Yes. Steel office buildings, and commercial premises with office space, are a popular choice for businesses that need a quick, cost-effective building. Our Office Units (7m x 25m x 3.6m to eaves) and Office & Showroom buildings (8m x 12m x 3m to eaves) include windows and personnel doors, with the option of glazed double doors and full-height glazed panels for a professional frontage.
For buildings used as offices, we recommend fully insulated composite panels to provide a comfortable working environment all year round.
If you need office space inside a larger building, such as a workshop or warehouse, our design team can allow for it at the design stage. Just tell us how you plan to use the building when you request a quote.
Yes. Murray Steel Buildings supplies and erects more commercial steel framed buildings across the UK than any of our leading competitors, and we manage every stage of your project:
If you would prefer to use your own contractor, we also offer a supply-only option.
Yes. Every Murray Steel Buildings commercial building is a prefabricated steel building, manufactured from galvanised cold-rolled steel sections and delivered to site ready for erection. Prefabrication means faster, more predictable construction, while each building is still designed to your exact dimensions and requirements.
We offer both supply-only and supply-and-installation options. Our commercial building kits include the building components, fixings and detailed construction drawings, so your own contractor or in-house team can erect the building. Alternatively, our experienced installation teams can complete the full erection for you.
Our commercial steel frame buildings can be designed with a clear span of up to 22 metres and an eaves height of up to approximately 8 metres, giving you a large, open floor area with no internal columns.
Our standard designs range from compact buildings, such as 6m x 16m rental units and 7m x 12m commercial storage units, through to 15m x 30m complete commercial units and 18m x 40m large rental units. Because every building is designed individually, we can adjust the width, length, eaves height, roof pitch and door positions to suit your site, whether you need a small trade unit or a large steel building for retail, storage or industrial use.
In most cases, a steel frame commercial building is a more cost-effective choice than a traditional brick or block building, particularly for larger, open-plan premises. The main reasons are:
Steel framed commercial buildings can also be extended or adapted more easily as your business grows. For an accurate cost for your project, request a free quotation from our team.
Yes. Murray Steel Buildings is based in Dunfermline, Scotland, and we supply and install commercial steel buildings throughout England, Scotland and Wales, from Surrey, Sussex and the South East to Yorkshire, the Midlands and the North West.
The cost to supply a building anywhere in mainland UK is exactly the same, and because our installation teams are based throughout the UK, our installation fees are also fixed regardless of location (mainland UK only). We never add additional charges based on where your site is.
Yes. Our commercial steel buildings are available with either single skin cladding or fully insulated composite panels:
We can also supply insulated personnel doors, insulated sectional doors and roller shutter doors to complete the building. Let us know how you plan to use your building and we will recommend the right specification.
Most new commercial buildings will require planning permission, although some industrial and warehousing developments may fall under permitted development. Whether your project needs full planning permission depends on the size of the building, its location and how it will be used.
Commercial buildings must also meet Building Regulations in England and Wales, or obtain a Building Warrant in Scotland.
We recommend speaking to your local planning authority at an early stage. Many offer a pre-application service, with feedback typically within 2–3 weeks. Our engineers can prepare structural calculations and CAD drawings free of charge to support your planning and building regulations applications, and we can introduce a structural engineer to assist on your behalf. All of our structures are certified to comply with British Standards.
Manufacturing times are typically 5–7 weeks from order placement. Once your design has been approved, your building moves through engineering, manufacture and delivery before installation begins.
Smaller commercial steel buildings can often be erected in a matter of days, while larger buildings take longer depending on their size and specification. All groundworks and foundations should be completed before installation to keep the build on schedule.
We provide estimated lead times with your quotation and keep you informed throughout the project.
Yes. We design, supply and erect steel warehouse buildings for storage, distribution and stockholding across the UK. With clear spans of up to 22 metres and eaves heights of up to approximately 8 metres, our steel warehouse buildings provide large, column-free floor areas to make the most of your storage space.
Warehouses can be fitted with heavy-duty roller doors or sectional doors for vehicle and forklift access, personnel doors, skylights and windows, and can be supplied with single skin cladding or insulated composite panels where temperature control is needed. Larger designs such as our 15m x 30m Complete Commercial Unit and 18m x 40m Large Rental Units are ideal starting points, and our design team can tailor the size and layout to your site. For heavier-duty industrial applications, see our Industrial Steel Buildings page.
