Going rates to have a shop built?

[Frank]

I am thinking like a 20 x 30. Not necessarily a really tall one, but one on a slab. Anyone gotten any quotes lately?

[slownbmta]

I am doing a 30x40 with a slab. Will be 16000 if I put it together 19200 if they do. Haven't decided if I want to or not lol.

I'm planning on doing a 40x60 in the semi-near future. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the building from J & I Manufacturing in Oklahoma and do the building myself (with a few helpers). I'll hire out concrete. I haven't decided if I want to do concrete first, or wait a little bit. I worry that waiting I'll fill the dang thing up and won't get around to it.

Here's what J & I has for a 20x30:

Not sure if I understood your statement. Are you considering building it first THEN pouring concrete? What would your posts stand on?

[Rreemo]

These guys did one for my neighbor this summer....turned out real nice and was WAY cheaper than any other quoted.

I'm talking to them about a 50x60 myself.

generally when you build big box buildings. you come in and pour all the footings/ piers with the anchor bolts set. at about 8 inches below finish floor. (you order your columns longer
then you build the building and enclose it this way you can do all your underground etc under the roof and not get slowed down by rain etc. it also helps present a great looking slab to the customer because the concrete gets out of the elements to cure

Damn those guys build some nice buildings.

A 20 x 30 was $20k? Did that include concrete and the whole erection? That seems very expensive compared with places I have been looking at on line.

I used these guys and they did a great job. Just got mine sprayed with insulation a few weeks ago. I did a 20x40 with 12" walls and a 4:12 pitch and it was the best deal I could find.

That's one expensive erection!

Been really debating about buying a property and building a shop like that with a small apartment in it to live in while I save to build a house....

I know Butterbean (Chad)

They're good guys. I wish they would come down here and put up a building for me

I got a quote on a turn-key 30x40 down here for about $28k

that's gonna have to wait a little while

[svauto-erotic855]

You should consider doing it yourself; I doubt that you would have $6.5k in it not counting your labor.

I would be more then happy to donate labor and use of a welder for an old fashion "Barn Raising". Where do you live?
