Steel Building Supplier FAQs – Costs, Customization & Installation Answers
Steel Building Costs & Pricing
Understanding the costs involved in purchasing a steel building is crucial for budgeting and planning your project effectively.
How much does a steel building cost per square foot?
Steel building prices typically range from $8 to $20 per square foot, depending on factors such as size, design, location, and customization options. For example, a 30x40x10 steel building may cost between $16,000 and $25,000, while a larger 50x100 steel building can range from $45,000 to $65,000+. While square foot pricing can help get you in the ballpark for a building cost, it does not account for eave height considerations or wind, snow and seismic loads on a building. Be sure to talk to one of our metal building project managers to get an accurate quote on the specific metal building you are considering.
What is the average cost of a 40x60 steel building?
A 40x60 steel building generally costs between $25,000 and $45,000, depending on specifications and additional features. As with the square foot pricing above, this is just a rough number based on a 40x60x10 as a starting point. Shipping, tax and engineering design can affect the price.
Is it cheaper to build with steel or wood?
Depending on options and accessories, steel buildings more often than not offer cost savings up front on materials and labor. Even when they do have a higher initial cost, they offer long-term savings due to lower maintenance, faster construction, and increased durability, making them more cost-effective over time. Not only that, they are also considered environmentally friendly as steel is a highly recyclable material.
