Steel Buildings

To answer the common question of “How much is a steel building?” we have to look at a variety of scenarios. A typical steel building can cost by the square foot “sq ft”. In this example we will use the figure of $xyz to demonstrate prices to make it easy as each steel building company and supplier may have different steel manufacturing costs.

Some steel companies may charge you a simple sq ft price of say $xyz price for the steel bldg by itself, and then if you want it installed by professional contractors, the price is $xyz.

So in this scenario you can decide the floor plan and size by cost. You can purchase a prefab steel building based on your need and budget.

Another steel building company many charge you individually because of the options you desire. So let’s say the a steel building price is $25,000 for a specific size as the base price with no additional options. Yet you want to have complete steel building insulation, 15 windows, 4 people doors and eaves. Well now your metal building kits would be your base price of $25,000 + steel building options = price of your building, of course you must add any taxes or shipping costs if required.

So as you can see there is not really a fixed steel building cost or price. You can get a good ballpark figure, then start thinking about your future needs and desires.

One key point to remember is that even though your prefab steel building can be bought individually, you must also consider any costs associated with the construction of your steel framed structure.

These can include:

1. Any building permits
2. Concrete piers for your steel beams
3. Any dirt work or leveling
4. Labor costs
5. Shipping and transportation
6. Taxes and handling

Of course this may not be applicable to your situation. In fact you may simply be purchasing components like the steel beams, girts and purlins right now, and then later on buy the wall, roof and trim metal.

So you might be wondering, “How hard is a steel building to assemble? or how easy is a steel building to build?” Well it depends of course on your building experience. We pride ourselves in supplying prefabricated steel buildings or prefab steel buildings for short, to everyone from professional construction contractors to DIY individuals. Our prefab steel buildings have holes already drilled for the purloins, rafters, and red iron parts. Of course you may have to make custom steel cuts for windows or doors, and maybe an anchor or two in the concrete for doors, but typically our kits are pretty straight forward. 

Typically the foundation is the toughest part. Knowing how deep to create your footers, where to put the anchor bolts, and any rebar will be a headache for some. 

So if you need someone to erect your new steel building, we have professional steel building contractors that can erect and install your new prefab steel building.
