Concrete interlocking tiles start at approx £6 / m2. You'll need to consider the construction though. is the building traditional construction (i.e. rafters) or steel frame (i.e. purlins). It might cost more to create a structure onto which tiles can be fixed than to install sheeting if its...

Anything below 10 degrees is technically a flat roof, no interlocking roof tiles will perform at this pitch (some tile effect sheeting will though). The problem is related to the tiles ability to shed the water landing on it. The lower the pitch the greater the risk of water overoming the...
