Ah. Guess I missed that. You would probably need pilasters in the wall where the columns attach. We do concrete packages for pre-engineered metal buildings all the time and it's pretty typical to put a 8" or 12" thick by 2 or 3 ft wide footing in the ground with a 8" 4'or6' wall atop it...

I assume you're looking at a pole barn? You're looking at $9k - $10k floor on a pole barn. In order to do a stem wall right you would need a continuous footings to set the wall on. You'd be looking at adding $5k or more depending on if you wanted a short wall on a trench footings or a 3 or 4ft wall.

I'd be happy to help you with some more info. How big is your building? How high are you wanting your stem wall?
