When growers compare quotes for a new structure, price per square metre is usually the first number on the table.
It’s easy to compare. It’s also the number that tells you the least.
A structure that saves you money on day one can cost you far more over the next 15 years:
▪️ Engineering: A frame rated below your site’s conditions holds up until the first serious storm season.
▪️ Covers and cloth: Lower-grade materials need replacing sooner, and every replacement means materials, labour and disruption again.
▪️ Steel and fittings: Corrosion doesn’t show up in the quote. It shows up years later.
▪️ Airflow and climate: Design decisions made to cut cost show up in every crop, every season.
▪️ Backing: Who will be standing behind the structure in year five?
Your structure sits over everything your business produces. Every crop, every yield, every dollar of revenue depends on it performing year after year.
So the better question isn’t “Which quote is cheapest?”
It’s “Which structure will cost us least to own?”
If you’re planning a new build or an upgrade, the EnviroTec team is happy to walk you through what goes into a quote and why.
