Pole Building Quote

[NWOhioChevyGuy]

Recieved a quote yesterday for a 48' x 32' x 14' pole building, traditional construction. 6x6 posts, 2x4 perlins 24" OC, wood rafters 48" OC, 2- 10'x12' Overhead doors, 36" man door, 2 windows, 2' eaves, 1' overhangs on end, vinyl soffit.

I have asked for adders for Roof Insulation & Insulated Doors.

Erected on my level jobsite, $15,700.00

I would have to add concrete to this cost but it looks like I may get my building done sooner than later. Especially if I get a good settlement on my land issues with the Title Company. (see post: Land Issues - lawyers advise)

This thread actually lifted my spirits as I am looking to build a building with the exact same dimensions as yours. I've been saving up, ready to expect the wor$t when I'm ready to start later this year.
I see you're not too far from me... what is the company you got the quote from?
Do you have plans for heat?

Keep this thread updated please

Sounds like a good price. Hopefully your land hiccup smooths out and you can get a new building up soon.

by "traditional construction" does that mean that it is not Flush Frame?
Not sure if you were planning on finishing the interior (I am), but Flush Frame is ideal for that. It's also stronger construction.
Here's another thread I saved a while ago about Flush Frame:

After reading more about it, it is going to be on my priority list for building.
I'm going to PM you my email, but wanted to ask in the thread in case it can be helpful to others...
thanks!

I was concerned about 29ga vs. 28 ga., etc. but I wound up with a used building and bought unidentified steel to finish off what I didn't have from the old build site. Honestly, I don't think it matters very much.

I also painted my steel siding with regular house paint after being warned that it wouldn't work... of course the manufacturer DOES say it will work fine. So far it's been on my walls for 14 years and looks like I painted it last week.

I'm thinking (dreaming) about a pole building too. The part that scares me is how much the concrete floor would cost.

I'm thinking (dreaming) about a pole building too. The part that scares me is how much the concrete floor would cost.

My 1500 sq. ft. was $1800.00 including the needed fill (not much) and prep.

Concrete prices have moderated some and it's a great time to build as builders/concrators aren't busy and they will compete for your business.

The best way to find out how much it would cost is to ask... my floor estimates ranged from $1200.00 to $2400.00. The cheap one was for a guy working on the side for extra $$$ but he couldn't give a a firm date when he could do the job. The expensive bid was from an outfit here in town that does a lot of state work and they pay "prevailing wages" on every job which accounted for, I assume, the high bid.

The guy that got my biz was a mid-size concrete contractor that fit my little job into his schedule. He did the site work one day then came back and did the pour as his last job on Saturday afternoon...

My son poured my driveway slab and parking slab with a few of his buddies on a Friday afternoon... cost me the price of the concrete ($65.00/yard) and some beer and burgers... did a pretty fair job I must admit.

These are very good times for building with lumber. Everytime a go to the lumber yard the salesman tells me that this is the cheapest he has sold lumber in 40 years even discounting the inflation over the whole 40 years. This last time I picked up 30 2x4x12's for $71.28. that's 19.8 cents a foot. He says it was 21 cents a foot 40 years ago.

Amazing times...

Decatur is where I live. I have never had Arnold's build me any thing but I have purchased materials from them. Good people.

Sorry it's been a long time since I've been on here, as for the questions above.

29 gauge Metal

No it idoes not have the "flush" Framing the purlins are laid ontop of the posts. I did read the post about it, when I go to get a contract I will ask what it would add the build cost to do this. Not a deal killer for me, but I will investigate further.
