Cost of pole building.

Can some one give me a round about number for a pole building? Say 24 by 36 with two cheap garage doors and one walk in. Maybe by the square foot? I have been away from such things and I have no idea any more. A turn-key, contractor price.
 
I googled "cost of a pole barn per square foot".I saw on average around $15 square foot.I had my metal sided and roofed 50 x 80 with 14 foot high side walls put up in 2003 for right around $10 square foot. lots of variables.concrete floor was almost $20,000 extra.Bill M.
 
My shop is 24'x32'x10' side walls,11/2 inselation,1/2 cdx walls,lights,1 ea 9'x7' roll-up door and 1-10'x10' roll-up door on a 24'x36'slab. with 1 walk in door. it was built in 2004 for just under $10.000, but it is a car port package.they started on a friday morning at 8:am and the building was up and the doors rolling by
4:30 that same day,I put the lights in and inselation and wall board up and that was all done in 1 1/2 days from start to finish it took
2 1/2 days and I like it.
I hope this helped

Just bought a pole building from midwest manufacturing. 20 x 24 with 8' eaves no windows and 1 9x7 overhead door trusses every 6'. $ 3,400.00
 
I would haul some limestone "chat" or fill in for the floor before it is built. Lots of quarries sell a product that has lots of lime in it. It packs real hard and with a little effort leveling and watering it down, becomes real hard. Plus it makes a great underlayment for when you do concrete it.

Good luck, Gene
 
A bigger building, 15 foot sidewalls, dirt floor was about 9=10 a square foot.

Concrete was another $4.50 per foot to do about 40% of the floor to 5 inches.

Electrical will be $2300.

Gravel for the other 60% plus under the concrete plus pathways - I didn't get that bill yet.

Smaller will likely be more than a bigger building.

Please, please consider at lest 10 foot sidewalls, 12 is better. Those 8 foot tall cheap garages are ok in town, but for a shop you need the head room. Trust me, you need the headroom.

why so much for electrical? is that how much having someone else do it? we do all our own electricle so i dont know :oops:
 
200 amp service, 140 feet from the nearest box probably has a lot to do with it - that cable ain't cheap.....

It's an 81 foot long building, and an outdoor light, so there are some spendy runs of stuff. But I know myself - my 'getroundtoit' doesn't always kick in real well. Dad build 'the big' machineshed in 1964, it wasn't ever wired in his lifetime - I'm up to having a fuse box and one outlet in it now....

In my county they inspect pretty carefully if you do it yourself; technically the local code says you can wire your _own home_ only, so can't actually wire outbuiildings but you can get past that mostly. But it turns outr better to have pro do it - quick inspection, rubber stamp. This is for a new deal, adding a few outlets or light bulbs likely we do like everyone else....

On the expensive side my neighbor built a 24 x 36 x 10 workshop, 8" thick cement floor, vinyl sided, 2x4 const. with 12/12 trusses, with 1/2" OSB interior walls, with insualtion, 100 amp service, windows with cedar trim, 1 double garage door with 1 entry door. (very nice)
$20,000 that is complete with a crew framing it and my neighbor finished it himself.
(a bit pricey)
Call Morton, or another pole building mfg. and get a quote.

In 2000 I built a 22 x 50 x 8 garage, with concrete footings and slab for $23,000.
Inside has a small workshop that is drywalled.
The rest is studs.
 
I can't imagine getting a decent building that size put up for less than 10K. I think I have about 12 grand into my 30x40x10 building, and I did all the work myself, including concrete. About half that was the material kit for the building itself, the rest was concrete, electrical, plumbing, insulation, overhead door and windows.

A lot of expenses are highly variable: quality of doors, insulation, electrical. Other things, surprisingly, don't have that much of an effect on price: steel siding versus wood, shingles versus steel roofing.

Bite the bullet and put in your concrete up front, you won't regret it.
 
I just had Pioneer Pole Buildings give me a quote on a 30x40x10, with 1-10x10 slider,1 foot overhang all the way around,1 walk through door and 2 windows $10,750 That's put up,no floor,and no electric
 
If you are doing it yourself, a local Menards store has a DIY computer that lets you plug in just what you want and will spit out a list of materials and the cost. Gives you a rough idea in less than 5 minutes without having to talk to any of the sales "vultures." (No offense intended, I realize that you sales people have to eat too!)

As others have mentioned, a quick call to Morton, Lester, Wick, Northland, etc, depending on who is in your area is the best bet. Ask neighbors for references. Word of mouth is still a great form of advertising.

no one inspects stuff around here. its way out in the middle of no where to add to that
 
I had a 40x60 building with 11'ceiling, one 12' wide door and 1 walk-in door erected for $12,500 about 3 years ago and the company did a good job. I had the floor poured in afterwards for another $7,500. The company that did it is located in Oklahoma and I live in Kansas. If you are even close to this area and want the information on them, let me know.
