Professional Farm Shed Builders in Worthing
ER3 Group LTD, registered under company number 16386146, serves as your local partner for high-performance agricultural construction in West Sussex. We specialise in delivering heavy-duty, steel-frame buildings that stand up to the unique weather conditions of the South Downs and coastal areas surrounding Worthing. Our team provides a complete start-to-finish service, managing every aspect of the project from the initial groundworks to the final cladding and shutter installation.
Unlike light-duty garden buildings, our agricultural sheds are engineered for intensive commercial use. We focus on providing durable livestock housing, high-capacity grain stores, and secure machinery depots. By acting as a single point of contact for your entire build, we eliminate the coordination headaches associated with managing multiple contractors, ensuring your site is fully operational without unnecessary delay.
Bespoke Agricultural Construction and Steel Frame Solutions
Every farm has different requirements, which is why we provide a bespoke approach to every build. Whether you are expanding your capacity for winter livestock housing or need a dry, secure environment for grain storage, we use hot-rolled steel portal frames to ensure maximum structural integrity. Our buildings are designed to accommodate heavy machinery and high-traffic usage.
We offer a range of finishing options to suit your operational needs, including single-skin or insulated box-profile cladding. Our industrial-grade finishes are specifically chosen to resist the coastal salt air and the wind loads typical of the local region. If you require advanced ventilation for livestock or automated roller shutters for large equipment access, our team integrates these components seamlessly into the build process.

Who We Are
The ER3 Group Start-to-Finish Build Process
Our process begins with a detailed site survey to ensure the ground is suitable for the load-bearing requirements of a steel-frame building. Phase one focuses on site preparation and groundworks, where we handle excavation, drainage, and the pouring of mass-pour or reinforced concrete foundations to provide a solid, level base.
Once the site is prepared, our team moves to the steel erection phase. We precision-install the galvanised portal frames, ensuring every connection is secure and aligned with the structural calculations. The final phase involves cladding and roofing, where we install weather-resistant materials to ensure your assets remain dry and secure. For further details on the protective layers of your building, see our [Internal Link: Industrial Cladding] services.

Navigating Planning and Building Regulations in West Sussex
Understanding the red tape of agricultural development is part of our core service. In many cases, agricultural buildings under a certain size on units over 5 hectares may fall under Part 6 of the General Permitted Development Order. However, local authority requirements in areas like Worthing, Findon, and Pulborough can vary.
We provide the necessary guidance to ensure your project complies with UK Building Regulations, focusing on structural stability, fire safety, and effective drainage. By managing the planning and compliance considerations early in the project lifecycle, we help you avoid potential delays or enforcement issues, allowing you to focus on the day-to-day running of your business.

07393 355531Frequently Asked Questions About Our Agricultural Builds
Do I need planning permission for a farm shed in Worthing? While Part 6 Permitted Development Rights may apply for specific agricultural buildings under 1,000sqm on qualifying land, it is essential to verify this with the local planning authority. We assist in determining your eligibility and navigating the application process where required.
What foundations are required for a steel farm building? A steel frame requires a solid, load-bearing base, typically consisting of mass-pour or reinforced concrete foundations. We calculate the required depth and reinforcement based on the ground type and the weight of the structure to prevent settlement.
How long does a steel frame erection take? Timelines depend on the scale and complexity of the project. Once groundworks are completed and the steel components are on-site, a standard portal frame can be erected relatively quickly. We provide a projected schedule during our initial consultation to ensure your build aligns with your seasonal agricultural needs.
Answers to common questions about our Farm Shed Builders in Worthing
Do I always need planning permission for a new farm shed in Sussex?
Not always. Many farm buildings are covered by Permitted Development rights. This depends on the size of your farm, the size of the building, and how far it is from the road. We can help you determine if your project qualifies or if you need a full application.
Can you replace the roof on an existing agricultural building?
Yes. While we specialise in new builds from the ground up, we also handle cladding and roofing replacements for existing steel frame buildings that have suffered storm damage or wear and tear.
How long does it take to build a standard steel farm shed?
The timeline varies based on the size, but because we manage the groundworks and the steel erection ourselves, a standard portal frame shed can often be completed in a matter of weeks once the foundations have cured.
Do you handle the concrete flooring for grain stores?
Yes. We provide heavy-duty concrete flooring and hardstanding areas. For grain stores, we ensure the floor is level and moisture-resistant to meet storage standards.
