The metal buildings here are more expensive or just as much as a wood building. Using Menards link looks like 18k would get me a nice building with vinyl siding at 24x40. https://designit.menards.com/Garage-v2/#/recall 314956312940

Was that with insulation, drywall, lights, electrical etc? I was being quoted 45k for a 20x30 shell. No insulation, drywall etc.

T1-11 Sheeting for walls. What should I be looking at for shingles? Thanks again!

Thanks, I used this as a rough guide... Am I missing anything else big? I know I will need screws, roof paper and other small items... But I feel this is way too cheap. 2x6 studs = 132 studs, $12/ea = $1584 Wall Sheeting = 53 sheets, $94.00/ea = $4982 Shingles = 12 bundles $36.48/ea =...

Looking to build a 20x40 shop and was wondering how to get lumber costs. Walls 14' Engineered trusses 10x12 garage door 3 windows up high on each side of the 40' length for a total of 6 windows 2x4 windows. 1 man door on the right hand front side of shop. 30 year architectural shingles. T1-11...

Well, I ended up moving the electrical and now the gas line is too close... I don't feel like paying relocate for gas as well... So I could go with a 20x40 shop now but that really turns it into a single tandem garage after that. Rethinking what I want to do. If I do go 20x40 I am pretty...

Great idea! I wouldn't have thought of that.

70k for this size shop seem reasonable?

Thanks for the recommendation. 18' wide door it is.

I am planning on building a detached garage/shop. Plan is 24x40 with a single 12x12 overhead door. 14 tall walls. I plan to have septic,and water. A small bathroom with toilet sink and shower. I don't have enough land to go wider than 24. I really wanted 30'. Looking for suggestions...
