new member with red iron build question

[richard7]

hello all ,been pricing red iron buildings 40x60x16 does 5000 seem about right for 2 foot extensions on gable and eaves.Also what window series from home depot or lowes will work well with pbr siding I want windows to match the house . I noticed there are some very knowledgeable members on red iron steel buildings on this forum . The extensions price is with soffits

Extensions are the single most expensive option on metal buildings. Gable extensions are easy but eave extensions get more complicated. Couple that with the material and labor and it adds up fast. Siding has no bearing on windows.

Thanks readhead I was hoping you would see this post. I hear they figure extensions by square foot so 400 square ft x dollar amount per square ft to erect would be my labor cost of this option. Peak steel buildings In Georgia figures labor on it that way I don't know if it's industry wide but you probably know. I was thinking a window that protrudes out to the exterior more would fit the pbr profile better and get windows with nailing fin correct? Here in the Atlanta area erecting is going in the 5.00 range .

Windows with fins will work fine. The trim around the windows and doors will accommodate the R panel. $5 is the going rate around here for simple buildings. I would probably add another $1.80 to the overall footage for the overhangs.

Thanks for the info readhead glad you found my post. I would move this post to general garage discussion if I knew how I AM COMPUTER CHALLENGED . I will post there for now on hopefuly. 2400 x 1.80 =4320.00 your way is higher I hope i'm right on how they figure it down here.

That is without seeing site conditions. If everything is clear, dry and unubstructed I would knock off .60 cents. Unfortunately a lot of owners have a more optimistic perception of the site than I do.
