If you want concrete flooring it will cost you extra
I think £2000 for the lot
When I work I am not joking I take a full responsability
What's a reasonable size for a shed?

2k for a block garage? Who're you trying to kid? I'd be hard pressed to build myself a decent garage for 2k, and that's doing the work myself.
WTF its wrong with you
The re. it wasn't for you La-la
"WTF" is wrong with me is that someone's offered to build a garage for someone I've know for several years, only the price of building it is completely unrealistic. So unrealistic, it sounds like a scam. And your reaction doesn't make it seem any more believable.
Of course, if you can provide plans and costings I could be persuaded to change my mind.

And I suspect this might be the punchline coming up:
So, how big will it be?

Normal size 4mL - 2mW shed garage like the one from the pic of your post
But you have to supply your own doors.

It will be a good investment in your property and also you can ad a extension in the future

Right, if I get a concrete base laid, how do I stop standing water on said base pooling around the bottom of the shed and causing it to rot?
Oh, and apex or pent?

You can't really........ not with 2x2 floor trusses. If I was doing it for myself, I'd dig a found & build a small retaining wall exactly the size of the shed, then in-fill with concrete and put a ramp at the door. But I do over engineer things I build for myself...... even the 'slab' I put in front of the shed to get the bikes in is block built
Best thing is probably to make the base a couple of inches bigger than the shed, but with a ramp at the doors.
Apex..... looks better and gives better storage & bike lift options
Sorry to hijack this thread I have been thinking about a large shed/summerhouse at the end of my garden, (20x8ish) and was trying to find an alternative to a concrete base, due to access reasons and there being a mountain top (solid rock) about 10ins below surface and not wanting to drag all the crap through the house etc. I have found this site

Any thoughts would be helpful

Waste of money. If the shed/summerhouse has 3inch floor trusses at less than 2feet intervals, just put it up on blocks*. You'll need some thin plank offcuts & a couple of slates for packing. Place blocks in about a 3foot grid, add packers to top to give a level, and put the base down on the packers.
If the shed comes with less than 3inch trusses, do the above but build a framework out of 3x1.5 (pref. tanalised) timber that runs at right angles to the trusses in the shed floor. Place the framework on the blocks, then build the shed on top.
At £9-50 a two foot panel, that plastic stuff will cost you £380 for a 20x8 shed (more actually since the panels are under 2 feet, so you'll probably need an extra row on two sides. The block/packer option should cost you about £50 tops.
* Depending on the hardness of the ground, you may be as well to place half blocks or even bricks onto slabs. The only reason for using blocks in the first place is to spread the load on the ground..... the shed itself will be fine sitting on anything about 2inch wide.

If you didn't break it, I didn't see it (as you may have noticed)
