SITE HIRE EQUIPMENT
To allow for off-loading and installation we will require the uninterrupted use of a Fork Lift Truck (Minimum 2.0Tonne, LPG) if this is not available we can hire in if necessary (please add Fork Lift Truck hire in to the calculator, price of which includes delivery and collection).
A skip is required for the removal of waste from site if this is not available we can hire in if necessary (please add skip hire in to the calculator, price of which includes delivery and collection).
BUILDING CONTROL
The above quoted price includes generation of structural calculations and steelwork general arrangement drawings. If you wish Space Industries to submit these along with a Building Regulations Application we can do this for an additional fee (please add yes to the calculator to include fee). Our fee excludes Local Authority initial Plan and subsequent Inspection fees which will be charged on in addition at cost. You may choose to handle this application yourselves.
Should full details showing proposed mezzanine in relation to building layouts not be provided (including smoke detection, fire alarm and emergency lights detail) then we can develop drawings to suit charged out at £65.00/hr as required to complete our Building Regulations Application.
ASSUMPTIONS
We assume installation in one continuous operation on a cleared and ready site.
We assume existing floor slab and local ground conditions are capable of accepting our proposed mezzanine column loads,
Manufacture - manufacture will be carried out by a Space Industries approved supplier capable of providing rapid turnaround time, full process control and excellent quality.
Bracing - this quotation is based upon the provision of full height cross bracing for lateral stability.
Base-plates size - to size the base-plates correctly to suit the floor slab we need to know the thicknesses of the concrete slab and hardcore and the load capacity of the ground below the slab; where this shows a requirement for larger base-plates than those included above then there would be a corresponding price increase.
For your reference, for a typical industrial floor slab with 150mm thick reinforced concrete on 150mm thick hardcore, with 80kN/m² minimum ground bearing pressure, the base-plate size specified above is adequate.
Where required we can arrange slab core sampling and analysis on your behalf - a quotation for this will be provided on request (typical price is £500)
Column Positions - if the column positions assumed in the stated grid layout are not possible due to floor slab joints or obstructions then additional costs may arise.
Access - we have assumed a clear and level ( +/- 10mm ) site at the start of installation, with free access adjacent to, and at the same level as, the mezzanine location via a roller shutter door ( or similar) with minimum 3.5m x 3.5m opening, allowing unloading and handling with a single 1.5 tonne counterbalanced fork lift truck.
Power and lighting - we have assumed that a 240V power supply will be available locally for small power tools to be used via a 110v transformer and that permanent or temporary lighting in the working are will be provided by others.
Welfare Facilities - we assume free use of welfare facilities - including first aid.
Site electrical connection - where an electrical truck is required, we have assumed that site electrical connection and disconnection for the battery charger will be carried out on our behalf by others.
Dynamic Loads - the mezzanine floor is designed to accept static loads only (including a standard 750kg hand operated pallet truck). It is the customer's responsibility to advise Space Industries Limited of any machinery or equipment that may be positioned on the mezzanine floor that could apply a dynamic load.
Point Loads - where high point loads are envisaged e.g. from shelving, racking or heavy duty / powered pallet trucks please provide details of loads and foot-plate sizes for us to check point ('punch') loads applied to the mezzanine decking material.
Fire rating (See quotation below) - it is the customer's responsibility to determine whether fire-rating is needed, although Space Industries Limited can provide advice, and a quotation for fire protection if required. As a general guide -
- if the mezzanine occupies 50% or more of the ground floor area then is may need to be fire protected
- if the mezzanine floor is to be used for offices or has people working on it, it should be fire protected.
- iIf the size of the platform is more than 20 metres in either direction, it should be fire protected.
Building Regulations - In order to submit our Local Authority Building Regulation for proposed project we require and assume the assistance of our client in providing all relevant supporting information covering the internal layout of the existing building in order to annotate suitable smoke detection, fire alarm, emergency lighting, means of escape and in order to generate a design access statement in compliance with Building Regulations Part M and the Disabled Discrimination Act with particular relevance to address the issues in provision of a disabled platform lift or to proposed the negation of this requirement in lieu of providing a Part M ambulant person stair.
Cancelled Orders - should an order be placed against this quotation not proceed to manufacture we reserve the right to charge for site survey and / or drawings and calculations where applicable.

Mezzanine Floor Size
Calculate length x width of floor area then deduct any 'cut outs' to give total net sq.m. area. Ensure you measure at proposed mezzanine level & not at ground level to ensure dimensions are back to cladding (where cladding sets back above blockwork).
Exposed perimeters are those to proposed mezzanine not bounded by existing perimeter walls.
Staircase
Part 'K' type Stair is a standard amenity stair for Non-public use. Part 'M' is an ambulant disabled persons stair. Generally at least 1No. Part'M' stair will be required. See STAIRCASE section for further detail.
Part K - Top and/or Mid Landings
'Mid' Landings are needed wherever there is a requirement to turn direction during mid flight. A single mid landing turns 90 degrees & a double middle landing turns 180 degrees. With mezzanine heights above 3m it is advisable to provide a mid landing. 'Top' landings are required where stairs are to run parallel with edge of mezzanine then turn 90 degrees upon arrival at first floor level.
Part M - Top and/or Mid Landings
'Mid' Landings are needed wherever there is a requirement to turn direction during mid flight. A single mid landing turns 90 degrees & a double middle landing turns 180 degrees. Part'M' disabled stair must have a mid landing. 'Top' landings are required where stairs are to run parallel with edge of mezzanine then turn 90 degrees upon arrival at first floor level.
Exposed Perimeter Protection
Enter total linear meterage. A hand & knee guardrailing are required to exposed edges (ie those not bounded by existing building walls). (See item 11 of TYPICAL MEZZANINE FLOORS). Add option for steel kicker to preclude falling objects if required.
One Hour Fire Protection
This is achieved by a suspended ceiling & column cladding (galvanised faced assumed with option for pvc white or coloured) provided to the underside plus a fire rated fascia to exposed edges (assumed in calculator to be same quantity as Exposed perimeter). See Fire protection within mezzanine floor Design section for further explanation.
Fork Lift Truck Hire
Generally a diesel forklift truck rated 1.5 tonne lift with mast height to suit proposed mezzanine level is required. Every mezzanine is built using a forklift to position steelwork in addition to being used to offload & handle materials. We require continuous use. Where this can not be provided we can hire in a forklift for our sole use.
Skip Hire

Building Regs (excluding LA fees)
Our price includes a detailed site survey & the provision of Structural Calculations with a steelwork layout drawing in electronic form. This can be passed to client to support Building Regs application. Alternately our fee here to compile & submit Bldg Regs application (Excluding Plan & Inspection fees passed on in addition). Note we assume the existence & provision of building layout Plans including the showing of smoke detection, fire alarms & emergency lighting as required to support the context of proposed mezzanine within building. Otherwise we can enhance drawing detail to reflect requirements - charged out @ £75/hour drawing time as required.
