Building A Small Hut To House Pumping Equipment

[Greenside]

I need a simple secure, weatherproof hut 2 x 3m with a concrete base to store the pumps, a filter unit and the irrigation gear. Someone just quoted me 8,000 per square metre which seems a lot to me but maybe I have unrealistic expectations.

Anyone have a comparable job done recently?

Here is our water tank house, you'll need to scroll down for pics. It's 3X3 and cost about 60k bht by wifeys uncle who also built our house.

Your thread and picture is very helpful, thanks.

Yours looks a bit smarter than I was expecting ours to be but the roller shutter seems like a good idea instead of a door - I should think there must be some secondhand ones around somewhere.

If you know what you want and can lay out or describe a basic design, just abut any "concrete/cement" guy (which there are many in LOS) would probably be happy to build it for you at 250B/day plus materials. You probably have to stay on top of things - but you did say you just want a "hut".

Hi GS,

We had a small barn (the English language definition) built earlier this year. It is 10 x 3 m, in 3 sections. The two outer sections are 3 x 3 & are open on 2 sides, one has a small Thai style toilet. The centre section is cement rendered block, no windows, the roof frame is steel with standard cement reo welded prior to applying the roof tiles, & the door & frame are steel (all done for security). Total cost was B54,000 or B1,800/m2.
