Grain elevators are for the processing and storage of grain. Annex costs are for vertical storage facilities. Use them for elevators when there is an exposed leg system and no headhouse (working house), or for additional detached storage that utilizes the headhouse of the original elevator as well as its basic machinery. If the annex has a headhouse, use component 1600 (Grain Elevator, Wood Crib, Metal Clad), using the total capacity of both the elevator and the annex.
Cost does not include special foundation work, such as pilings or extremely large concrete pads.
