A bare covering profile and an insulated panel include different work. Compare equivalent build-ups, required performance and preparation. Separate covering, support, insulation, junctions and site services before comparing area rates.

Align offer contents
Compare reference, finish, build-up, measured area and accessories. Separate insulation and possible internal work. A bare profile is not comparable with a complete insulated installed assembly.
Price preparation
Clarify retention or replacement of purlins, continuous support, old layers and junctions. Agree how hidden defects found during stripping are documented and extra work approved.
Include site organisation
Check access, lifting, protection, storage, temporary weatherproofing, waste and handover. Request written warranty terms without treating them as a lifespan forecast.

Frequently asked questions
Is steel always cheaper?
Cost depends on the complete system and included work. Compare equivalent scope.
Must zinc always be ventilated underneath?
It depends on build-up and product. Ask for the specified solution to be justified.
Does an insulated panel guarantee comfort?
Check whole-assembly performance and junctions; the product description alone is insufficient.
Does low weight remove the need to check the structure?
No. Have its condition and suitability for project loads assessed.
