I bought a home in Southern Oregon a few months ago and I finally have enough room to build the shop I've always wanted. I am limited by county code to a maximum size of 1500 square feet without having paying a variance fee and getting the neighbors to approve. I am planning to go with a 30x50 size with a 14 foot eave height as I want to put in a 2 post lift. Code requires a 25psf snow load rating and a 130mph Wind speed rating.
I want to be able to run electrical, install insulation, and finish the walls with drywall. I want to insulate the ceiling, but I don't care about finishing with drywall.
I really like the Web Steel Delta Truss design http://wsbnw.com/delta-truss/ because it looks so easy to finish out as it uses a wood 2x6 secondary framing system. I don't like the look of the trusses and the fact that it doesn't give me a clear span across the building.
I prefer the design of the all steel building, but it seems like a real pain to install vertical studs within the steel girt system. Have any of you done this and finished the walls with drywall?
I have talked to Web Steel as well as Olympia Steel Buildings and received quotes from both. I specified Standing Seam Roofs from both companies and the same layout. Insulation is not included in either quote.
The Web Steel quote included 26ga steel for the roof, and 29ga steel for the walls. I was also told that I would need to sheet the roof with OSB if I went with the standing seam roof. the quote was just under $21K delivered and included three 10x10 insulated Wayne Dalton overhead doors which accounts for roughly $3600 of the price. I asked about upgrading the steel thickness, and was told that it was possible, but did not get a quote on it.
The Olympia Steel building quote included 24ga steel in the roof and 26ga steel in the walls and is a clear span design. I was told that I did not need to sheet the roof with OSB as the roof panel clips would attach directly to the purlins. They do not supply doors, so I would need to source those locally, which I was thinking of doing anyways and having them professionally installed. The quote for the building without doors was about $24K delivered.
My feeling is that the Olympia building is better quality and may be worth the extra money, but I don't want a nightmare trying to run electrical, install vertical studs to the metal framing, and install drywall.
What are you guys' thoughts on this?
Any experience with either of these companies?
What are your opinions on the steel thickness I should specify? I don't want to spend more than I need to, but I don't want a flimsy, cheap building.
Any definitive answers on OSB sheeting under the standing seam roof?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
