Good afternoon,

My name is Nate Musselman and I work for Conestoga Buildings, we have just learned of this terrific site, and thought we could help answer questions or provide services if needed. Here are some examples of garages we have built in the Mid Atlantic region.

Hi Nate,
I think the question I've seen alot as one member ogles another's building is "how much does that cost?".

I've spent a lot of time with your price list, Pioneer Pole Barn's list, and all the others. The number that catches your eye initially ("Holy ****! A 24x30 for $7,000!!!!!") is a lot different than the ending number ("oh... add $6K grading, concrete, window charges, door upgrade charges, insulation, electric...... Yep, the building is gonna run me $30,000").

So, for the buildings above (say) can you ballpark the end price and amenities so people have an idea to go off of?

Thanks,

Thank you for the response rieferman. It is very hard to ballpark a price without a discussion with the customer. We can provide just a material package for our buildings, or provide a total turnkey solution to our customers providing all amenities including sitework, electrical, concrete, hvac, etc. Many of our customers choose to do portions of the project themselves. We can provide as much or as little assistance to our customers as they desire.

aww c'mon that's no fun :bounce:

Giving a couple use cases will go a far way.. Just pick one building from above, give a soup to nuts price, a middle of the road "owner does certain parts of the process" type of price, and the "kit/materials only" price.

"Erected on your level site" is the one that ***** in a lot of folks, they think their dream spot is level, and that they can buld their dream shop for $20K, only to find out that it actually needs $10,000 worth of excavation to get it level enough to put a building on.

Ever see a building pad that was obviously leveled about 3 years ago and nothing else done?? Ever wonder why?? Probably because the excavation alone sucked up their entire budget.

You are correct there can be excavating costs to get a level dirt pad, however, unless you are talking 10-15 feet out of grade your costs do not jump into the 10K range. Most of the time we find that if your site looks relatively level to the eye, you can assume anywhere from $500-$2000 for site prep. All of these costs, however, still beat the prices of placing in a continous footer. Let me know if I answered your question. I will also post a list of garage sizes and prices. Give me some time to get this uploaded. Thank you

Thanks,

The buildings pictured above are products of customers seeing our initial price and customizing what fits their needs. We have a very consultative sales approach to our buildings. You basically build the building with whatever grade materials you want to place on your project. Most of the buildings pictured above are in the 20K-30K range, however, we can take one of these ideas and taylor it to fit your needs. If you have specific ideas in mind don't be afraid to contact us. Our buildings can range from $9 square foot to $25 square foot and on up, it really is determined by our customer. We can take a project and build a shell and let you finish the interior, or we can complete the entire package. One of the beautiful aspects of post frame construction is, it gives us the flexibility to construct in stages if you choose so. Post frame is no longer just associated with steel roof and sides, we can provide almost any exterior finishes our customers desire. I chose the pics above to reflect the new and exciting avenues that post frame is headed! Let me know if you have any more questions.

have you got any examples utilizing brick exteriors? Are there any additional requirements for putting a lift in a post-frame garage? What about hoists? can the post frame building process handle these?

Thanks!

Good Morning Alden,

We do have examples of garages with brick exteriors, and no there is no special requirement for a lift to go inside a post frame building. We would just pour 6" of concrete in the area of the lift. Hoists pose a problem because of the weight exceeding the load of the bottom chord of the truss. Hoists that free stand are no problem. I will find examples of brick and post them shortly. Thank you for the questions.

Here is an example of stone on one of our projects, I'll continue to look for brick. By placing brick on the exterior of the building we need to place a footer into the ground. Brick is one of those finishes that takes the advantages away from building in the post frame method. That certainly does not mean that we cannot build, there are also forms of brick that are actually hung on the building like stone veneer. This form does not require a footer, however I apologize that I do not have any examples of this.

Hey,
You guys did a pole barn for the New Egypt first aid squad. Looks pretty good. I met somebody from your establishment at the Edison home show last year. Good luck.
