Cost of a metal building?
Question:About how much would it cost to have a metal building approx 5000 sq. feet with 2 stories installed?
Answers:
There is no way I or anyone else on the net can put a good price to this because the site prep, site utilities, concrete pad and footing requirements for your location, labor costs for you area, interior finishes will vary WIDELY. Most contractors will give you a free estimate or at least a budget.
It will be somewhere between 10 & 40 thousand dollars. The reason why there is such a large range is because of the many different factors. Labor cost is a big one and can be reduced if you buy a prefab model. Custom desgined metal buildings will increase costs.
Also the layout of the building will impact cost. Wide open spaces that use clearspan supports (like aircraft hangers) are more expensive than simpler metal buildings with pole supports.
Then you also need to have your building site prepared with a proper foundation and don't forget about the shipping costs involved. They can be very high since you are talking about shipping a metal building. This site has more cost breakouts for metal buildings.
