Includes concrete and wiring, man that seems too high, 42.25 a square foot. That's roughly what I paid to have a home built per square foot in 1992. |
In my opinion, 76K is ridiculous for a 1800 sqft pole barn, I'm under that price on a fully insulated 1000 sq ft larger engineered steel building with 3 large insulated doors & a hd security door. Have also recently priced out bolt on red iron, R panels, & concrete for a small addition so am aware of high quality material prices.
Steel bulding prices come in at how much one can do theirselves & wrangle up reasonable price experienced help to erect. Having taken numerous bids 3+ years ago from local contractors utilizing local heavy advertising/TV commercials, as well as driving new 80K $ pickups, one could see where the $$$$ was going. i went to a large metal building mfg/supplier & gave them the plans i drew up. Was able to cut out the blue sky. Also realize one can get real extravagant with electrical fixtures & lights, & that can get expensive, but electrical install costs can also be trimmed.
