Cost structure
Steel frame
- Cold warehouse: 23,000-35,000 ₸/m²
- Insulated warehouse: 70,000-155,000 ₸/m²
Final frame price depends on span, height, snow/wind loads, and crane requirements.
Enclosure (sandwich panels)
- Wall panels: 8,000-12,000 ₸/m²
- Roof panels: 10,000-15,000 ₸/m²
Typical insulation thickness in Kazakhstan is 100-120 mm, and can be higher for northern regions.
Foundation
- Pile: 12,000-15,000 ₸/m²
- Strip: 14,000-18,000 ₸/m²
- Slab: 16,000-20,000 ₸/m²
Always include geotechnical survey before finalizing foundation type.

Key takeaway
FAQ
How much does a 1,000 m² warehouse cost?
Budget depends on type and engineering scope. For a cold format, cost can start from lower ranges; insulated and turnkey formats scale up significantly.
Is it possible to build in winter?
Yes. Steel-frame assembly is possible year-round, which is one of the key advantages over concrete-heavy workflows.
What is the typical payback horizon?
For many businesses, own warehouse economics often become attractive from a 3-5 year planning horizon, depending on utilization and lease alternatives.
