FAT Modular Construction Standards for Farm Building Costs used as planning tool

Farm buildings account for a considerable part of the farm’s structural costs. Low-cost farm buildings are therefore required to ensure cost-effective production. As a space allocation plan can be realised in various manners, comparing different building options can help to find the �best solution’ with regard to functionality, investment demands and annual costs. The FAT Modular Construction Standards for Farm Building Costs allow these costs to be compared quickly and on an objective basis. They are based on different modules. The building elements contain currently used building components and pen fittings for farm buildings. The new, simple to use software makes the FAT Modular Construction Standards for Farm Building Costs a valuable working tool for planners and advisers.
