What determines the cost of a mezzanine floor?
Every mezzanine floor is different; no two projects are the same. If you’re considering installing a mezzanine floor, it’s important to realise that it involves custom work. That means mezzanine floor costs vary per project. Factors such as floor size, material choices, required specifications and the delivery location all play a role in pricing.
What does a mezzanine floor cost on average?
The cost of a mezzanine floor depends heavily on the selected specifications. For a basic structure (light duty), prices generally range from €80 to €145 per m², suitable for warehouses and workshops. For a heavy-duty structure that can bear higher loads, prices range from €145 to €240 per m². Please note these figures exclude installation. Installation costs typically range from €20 to €45 per m².

Factors that affect mezzanine floor costs
Multiple elements impact the overall cost of a mezzanine floor. Below is an overview of key factors with indicative prices:
| Factor | Description | Price indication |
|---|---|---|
| Material choice | Standard steel or timber, or more solid materials for higher load capacity and durability | €80 – €145 per m² (standard) Extra for solid materials |
| Size and surface area | Smaller areas (under 50 m²) are costlier per m²; larger areas (>100 m²) offer lower rates | €145 – €250 per m² (small) €80 – €145 per m² (large) |
| Load-bearing capacity | Light duty (up to 250 kg/m²) or heavy duty (up to 500 kg/m²) | €80 – €120 per m² (light) €150 – €240 per m² (heavy) |
| Design complexity | Simple rectangular shape or complex layouts with multiple levels or custom shapes | €80 – €145 per m² (simple) €200 – €250 per m² (complex) |
| Earthquake resistance | Extra reinforcements for seismic zones | No surcharge (standard) €100 – €150 extra per m² (seismic) |
| Dynamic loads | For moving equipment like forklifts or machines, structural reinforcements required | €100 – €200 extra per m² |
| Project location | Transport costs depending on accessibility and location | €500 – €1,000 (Netherlands, easy access) From €1,000 (international/difficult access) |
| Installation and extras | Basic installation vs full setup with stairs, railings and safety nets | €20 – €45 per m² (basic) €50 – €75 per m² (with extras) |
Cost overview: three mezzanine floor scenarios
To give you an idea of expected costs, here are three scenarios based on floor size: 200 m², 2,000 m² and 10,000 m.
Scenario 1: a 200 m² floor
This size is ideal for smaller applications, such as extra storage or a workspace in an industrial hall. Due to the scale, cost per square metre tends to be higher. A standard steel or timber floor would cost between €80 and €145 per m², with solid materials pushing the price higher.
For light loads (up to 250 kg/m²), costs stay within this range. Heavy-duty use (up to 500 kg/m²) increases the cost to €150 to €240 per m². Complex designs, like unique shapes or multiple levels, can push costs to €200–€250 per m².
Scenario 2: a 2,000 m² floor
Larger surfaces offer economies of scale, reducing cost per square metre. Standard floors fall between €80 and €145 per m². Solid materials may add to the price but enhance durability.
For light-duty use, prices remain similar. For heavier use, costs range from €150 to €240 per m². Complex designs also come with a surcharge of €200–€250 per m².
Additional features such as staircases, railings or safety nets are often needed in larger projects. Expect €50–€75 per m² on top of installation costs for such extras.
Scenario 3: a 10,000 m² floor
Ideal for large-scale operations like distribution centres or major warehouses, this size benefits most from low cost per square metre. Standard costs range from €80 to €145 per m², with solid materials increasing the total.
Light load-bearing costs remain consistent, while heavy-duty setups range from €150 to €240 per m². Simple layouts stay within base pricing, but complex, multi-level designs may raise costs to €250 per m².
Transport and installation become key cost drivers. Domestic transport ranges from €500 to €1,000, while international deliveries may exceed this. Installation with extras (stairs, safety features) costs €50–€75 per m².
Cost advantages of a mezzanine floor
A mezzanine floor is often more cost-effective than expanding your building. By making smart use of vertical space, you can add storage or working areas without relocating or acquiring additional property.
