for anybody wondering, I am located in Ontario Canada, I am currently building a 32x30x16 steel building. my site prep cost me $7000 this included 12" of compacted gravel levelled out for a slab on grade tension wire pad. the concrete pad itself is another $13000 and the in floor heating pex/insulation was another $3000. the building cost itself was $18000 and the 12x12 door was $3500. man door was another $1000 and two window's were $1000. the gas heating system was almost $7000. plumbing done by myself was just over $2000 for a bathroom and two sinks. insulation for walls and roof was $3500. electrical I am looking at another $4000. and that's about it!

Hi Eric! The costs you mentioned, was that just for the metal structure or did that include the slab, land prep & utility hook ups? Thank you!

For anyone who lives in California, I'm currently building a 40'x60'x16' red steel building and the total price is close to $80, 000 to get the building erected on the foundation/slab. That does NOT include any electrical or plumbing. Here's a price breakdown: $35, 000 for the building with two 12'x14' roll up doors, five 4'x4' windows, one sliding glass door, two man doors, one ridge vent, gutters, and insulation. $21, 000 for the foundation/slab that is 4" thick for a 40'x40' section and 6" thick for the remaining 20'x40' section. $20, 000 for erection. $1000 for foundation engineering. $1000 for earth work (this may be much more expensive but we already had a fairly flat pad). $2000 for permits.

I'll add my experience as well. I'm currently building a 42X60X16 cold form steel building in northern california. It has 2 12X12 roll up doors and 1 12X14 roll up door (4600$ installed). The pad was done with a 14X14 perimeter footing foundation with double layered #4 rebar on footer and #3 18" OC on pad meshing with the pad being 6" concrete speced at 4500PSI total yardage came to 78 yards of concrete (20, 000$) they also did all the dirt work to get it prepped. The building itself cost 33, 000$, fully insulated with a 5:12 roof, 2 foot over hangs all around 1 man door and a 15X42 mezzanine, under eve and gable skylights. Current quotes on erection have ranged from 18k to 28k but will most likely erect myself since I have access to the equipment to lift perlins and girders into place

Great video. Started working with Mike on a quote... and this is spot on... Great folks to work with. Hope to nail down the correct size for my property so that I can start the build.
