Coût d’un poulailler commercial : prix de la structure en acier au m²

KXD Steel Technical & Project Team | Qingdao KXD Steel Structure Co., Ltd. | Published November 13, 2026

A steel structure poultry house from KXD Steel is published at USD 40–100 per m², depending on specifications. Feeding, drinking, manure removal, cooling and ventilation systems are listed as available systems, so quote them as separate lines. At the 600 m² minimum order, the range works out to USD 24,000–60,000.

What USD 40–100/m² Does and Doesn’t Tell You

The top of the range is 2.5 times the bottom. KXD attaches one condition to it, “depending on specifications,” and does not publish which specifications move a house from USD 40 to USD 100. That makes the range useful for deciding whether a project is worth a quotation request, and not much more.
Table 1 shows what the spread does to a budget. The 600 m² row is KXD’s minimum order; the other two floor areas are illustrative sizes chosen to show how the gap scales.

Table 1. Arithmetic on KXD’s published USD 40–100/m² range. Not a quotation; the scope behind the range is not published.

The gap grows in a straight line with floor area, so unclear scope costs more on a large house than a small one. At 2,000 m² the distance between the two ends (USD 120,000) is bigger than the low-end price itself (USD 80,000).

Seven Cost Lines to Pull Apart in Every Quote

KXD’s poultry house page lists the structure, an optional slatted floor and a set of environmental systems. It does not say how those map onto the per-m² figure. Table 2 sets out what the published material says on each line and what to ask for in writing.

Table 2. Quote scope checklist for a steel structure poultry house.

A certificate is not a scope statement. ISO identifies ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 as its management-system standards for quality, environment, and occupational health and safety (source: ISO). KXD’s poultry house table lists ISO, and its wider manufacturing pages also reference CE EN 1090. These describe how a factory runs its processes. None of them tells you what a quotation includes.

Turn the Range into a Project Budget

• Set the floor area from your own numbers. Start from your bird count and the stocking density your local rules or integrator require. KXD gives a reference capacity of 10,000–50,000 birds per house, which is a sizing anchor and not a guaranteed stocking figure. Done when: you have one floor-area figure in m² that you can defend.
• Check it against the minimum order. KXD’s poultry house MOQ is 600 m². A house smaller than that needs a conversation before any pricing.
• Send the same itemized request to every supplier. Use the seven lines from Table 2 so each quote answers the same questions. Done when: every quote has a figure or an explicit “excluded” against each line.
• Convert every line to one unit. Per m², per panel, per set and lump sum all appear in quotes. A 1,200 × 500 mm slat panel covers 0.6 m², so 100 m² of slatted floor is about 167 panels; a per-panel quote and a per-m² quote look far apart until both are converted.
• Add what sits with you or a local contractor unless the quote says otherwise: site preparation, utility connection and permits. Then rerun the Table 1 arithmetic with the confirmed per-m² figure instead of the two ends of the range.

Where Single-Figure Quotes Mislead

Compared with the marketplace-style listings that dominate search results for this term, which show a tiered per-m² price with no scope attached, an itemized quote takes longer to get but is the only version you can reconcile line by line. Two mistakes follow from treating the single figure as a budget.

The first is comparing two per-m² prices that cover different things. Take a hypothetical USD 55 quote that excludes the environmental systems and a hypothetical USD 85 quote that includes them: the real gap is not USD 30 per m², and nobody can say what it is until both are itemized.

The second is reading the reference capacity as a promise. 10,000–50,000 birds per house is a range across house sizes. The number for your site depends on floor area and stocking density, and KXD’s published material does not state the floor area behind either end of that range.

Is a Steel House Worth Pricing? Points For and Against

What favors requesting a quotation:

• A published price range lets you screen the project before a first call.
• The slatted floor has published dimensions, hole options and a listed service life, so that line can be checked against a quote.
• Feeding, drinking, manure, cooling and ventilation systems can be requested from the same supplier, which gives you one quote to reconcile instead of several.

What cuts against it:

• The 2.5× spread comes with no published scope, so the range cannot be used as a budget.
• The 600 m² minimum order rules out small houses.
• KXD’s page lists a service life for the slats (above 10 years) but none for the structure, so ask for a design life in writing.
• No price is published for the systems, which leaves the largest unknown outside the per-m² figure.

Your Next Step: Ask for the Quote in This Format

Send your bird type, intended bird count and country or region with the enquiry, and ask for a quotation that follows the Table 2 lines, with the m² basis, Incoterm and exclusions stated on the first page. A quote in that shape can be compared directly with any other.

Operating costs such as energy for cooling and ventilation, labour and litter handling are outside this article. They decide payback and deserve a separate comparison once the build cost is settled.

FAQ

Q: How much does a commercial chicken house cost?

A: For the structure, KXD publishes USD 40–100 per m², depending on specifications. A complete project adds the lines in Table 2 plus local site costs. KXD has no published whole-project figure, so the total needs a written quotation for your floor area.

Q: What is the minimum order for a KXD steel structure poultry house?

A: 600 m².

Q: How many birds fit in one house?

A: KXD lists a reference capacity of 10,000–50,000 birds per house for broilers, layers, breeders and other poultry. The figure for your site depends on floor area and stocking density.

Q: Is the slatted floor included in the per-m² price?

A: It is listed as optional: 1,200 × 500 × 40 mm panels with 16 × 16 mm or 20 × 26 mm holes and a listed service life above 10 years. Whether it falls inside the per-m² figure is not published, so ask for it as its own quote line.

Q: Does the USD 40–100/m² include feeding, drinking and ventilation systems?

A: KXD lists those systems as available for its poultry house. The published range does not say whether they are inside it, so treat them as separate lines until the quotation says otherwise.
