Hi all, I was wondering if anybody could name a few local pole barn builders that are in or around St Clair county MI. I've contacted a few that have advertise locally, but they seam a bit high. THere averaging $25 - $30 per sq foot.
I was considering building myself, but the idea of hiring a crew to do a turn key and having it done in a couple weeks time is very appealing. However, I just can't see paying that much for something I can do myself for half the price. The eternal struggle of the DIY'er!!!
FYI, looking at a 30 x 48 x 12 on a already prep'd site. I have to make it look good to keep the piece so I'm thinking wainscot with a porch on one of the gable ends. I'd like it finished on the inside, maybe metal liner…not sure yet.
This will be for working and my '67 Chevelle and hopefully a really old Chevy truck some day.

Thanks!

Can't help with contractors, but having them finish it out is really going to drive the cost up. It also really depends on what all you want them to do (how much electrical, plumbing, etc).

I'm having a building put up (no porch, but otherwise similar). Just the shell is a little over $9.50 a foot, and the concrete (6" thick with rebar and vapor barrier) adds about $2.70 a foot, so roughly $12.25 a foot for a building with concrete.

This assumes I provide a level, graveled pad. Other than that, no work from me. I plan to do the electrical and interior work myself, but that will be done over time.
