The cost of hall construction

Building a hall is a significant investment that will impact a company’s operations and growth for years to come. When it’s time to build a new hall, one of the first questions is: how much does it cost to build a hall? Many factors influence the price, which is why every project is unique.

At Trutec Oy, we have built various steel halls across Finland and know how to keep costs under control without compromising on quality. We use modular solutions and precision-engineered components that are quickly assembled on-site. In this article, we’ll explain what factors make up the cost of hall construction and what to consider when planning your project.

What are the factors that make up the cost of hall construction?

Construction site and foundation works

Earthworks such as excavation, filling, drainage and foundation work can make up a large part of the budget. With a load-bearing base, costs remain reasonable, but soft clay soil, for example, may require piling, which increases the price significantly.

Hall size and structural solutions

The appearance, energy efficiency and service life of a hall are largely determined by the choice of materials. The most common solution is an insulated sandwich element, which provides good thermal insulation and a neat appearance. There are several options for the roof - for example, sheet metal is a common and cost-effective choice.

Heating, ventilation and energy efficiency

If the hall is used year-round, energy solutions are emphasized. The heating system, ventilation and insulation level affect both the construction price and future operating costs. Energy-efficient solutions often pay for themselves in lower energy costs.

Intended use and equipment level

The purpose of the hall largely determines the cost level of hall construction. For example, a warehouse hall can be built very inexpensively, while a hall intended for food production requires special materials, hygiene solutions and technical systems, which increase the price. Electrification, lighting, office space and social facilities also affect the overall budget.

How to save on hall construction costs?

The biggest savings are made at the design desk

Trutec Oy's design team masters the design of cost-effective hall packages. Appropriately dimensioned solutions combined with a strong production and installation routine ensure cost-effective construction.

The hall package is the most cost-effective solution

Trutec Oy has optimized the cost-effectiveness of its hall package with the experience of over 200 hall packages. By procuring other work such as HVAC work and interior construction directly from a local operator, you can get the whole project completed at the most affordable price. Turnkey builders almost always purchase this work from subcontractors, adding their own margin to the price.

Optimize project management costs

Time is money. Poor project management, with schedules stretching and contractors changing, can significantly increase costs.

Choose a dimensionally accurate steel frame

Steel structures are lighter than concrete structures, requiring less foundation, which reduces construction costs. The fast construction time of steel halls reduces construction site costs.

select hall package installed

This way you get a realistic picture of the total costs of building a hall package without hidden costs. A reliable partner who takes care of the hall package project from design to installation brings certainty to the budget.

Consider life cycle costs

High-quality steel structures last for decades.

Almost maintenance-free galvanized steel structures and high-quality roof and wall elements reduce maintenance costs. A steel-framed hall can be easily expanded or modified for new use.

Trutec Oy's experience brings savings to the developer

We have completed hundreds of hall projects and know how to make the construction process cost-effective. We use modular solutions and precise components that are manufactured in the factory and quickly installed on site. This means shorter construction times and cost-effectiveness without compromising on quality.
