Five years ago I built a 40' X 60' X 16' high pole building with (3) large over head doors and a full second story walk in loft with stairway to access, full concrete floor, and roof trusses on 24" centers due to the loft, and it was $60K. This past year I built a 32' X 50' X 16' high with no second story loft, roof trusses on 48" centers, concrete floor, and only (1) large over head door and it was $60K (same price). Thats how much labor and material has gone up over that 5 year period. Both built be same contractor.

[@MarquithLegacyAcres]

Good morning. Yeah, things have gotten expensive. Thanks for stopping by and for commenting.

[@matsfreedom]

I'm converting a barn/warehouse into a livable "barndominium." The bones of the building are great from the slab to the roof, but the cost to renovate is ridiculous. Permits alone will cost me $20K. Bringing electricity to the panel, $15K. Gas, $8K. The original structure is a 30 year old building that I built 35 years ago for $5K. If it weren't for mandatory compliance with state and local authorities, this renovation would be affordable and easy. They want blood.

[@kerry4951]

@@matsfreedom my gosh I never heard of permits costing that kind of money for a project like that....its CRAZY!! And I know utilities are nuts also with what they charge. It cost me $9000 just to relocate a utility pole 15 feet so I could put a decent drive way in. Its like the govt complains about money revenues but then they charge so much that it discourages people from wanting to improve or do a new project. Good luck with your project

[@Jaydayallday]

Anyone know what’s the highest you can do on side walls ? Is 16ft the max ? Or depends on area?

[@MarquithLegacyAcres]

@@Jaydayallday I dont see many people going over 16", but I am sure you could. Width (40") was the big item with our supplier. Over 40 got real expensive quickly.

I got a quote for the same size structure which was for only the cost of the structure and erecting. 175k and did not include site prep, foundation, no insulation, nor electrical. I figured the total would have been close to 275-300k complete. that quote was 3 1/2 years ago. Can’t imagine what that would cost today. Insane! We’re in northern CT.

[@ryanc2114]

I know you know this now after having done the build, I always tell my customers the pad needs to be 8' bigger than the footprint of the building. I say, "If I can drive my machine on the pad all the way around the build during construction, you'll be able to comfortably get around the building after construction." I started doin pads in addition to the building because well over half of the pads were not big enough, not square, and/or out of level. All problems when doing a building with concrete.

[@MarquithLegacyAcres]

I know this now, but good info for everyone else. Wish I knew more prior to the process. This is the reason I want to share this info.

[@ryanc2114]

I think ~$15k for 6" and 4" combo in a 40x60 plus the porch is a very good deal. Sounds like legacy did you right. $6200 for the dirt work seems high depends on how much fill dirt was brought it. Overall, $65k for everything, not bad.

[@JPAutoService]

You got a lot of square footage and value for your money even though costs to build have gone through the roof. I would assume you live somewhere without much red tape involved in building like i do. I'm currently building a 40x80x16 with a 10x80 porch and 20x40 apron/approach. My concrete is being poured tomorrow, 6 inches everywhere at a cost of 34k, which is pretty painful but actually quite a good deal here. The building itself was 70k, but that includes premium black windows and doors ($4k more than white) and the 24x40 loft. The single 14x14 black commercial insulated door with windows and heavy duty opener is 7k itself. Excavation was 13k. I pre-plumbed it myself for a 12x16 bathroom over the weekend for under $600. The costs just keep adding up. It's going to be 26k to have the builder insulate and put metal walls in the 56x40 shop section. Ill probably have at least 5k in having an electrician wire the whole thing. Then, i can get to finishing all 1840 sq ft of living space myself. Once I get to the bathroom ill have to have a 15-20k septic installed. Im going to be eating ramen noodles for the next 10 years to pay for it, but it should be worth it.

[@MarquithLegacyAcres]

Sounds like a great place you are building. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!

[@fubbesibiz]

I live in Minnesota and planning on building next year. Haven’t gotten an estimate for the steel yet but a GC said to me concrete with frost fooding for a 40x60 will be around 30k…. I was shocked! I’m gonna try to do the foundation myself if possible to save at least 50% on that. I think too something like this shouldn’t be more than 50k to just putting it up, no offense to construction workers, i appreciate hard labor.

[@MarquithLegacyAcres]

Concrete is definately a big portion of the costs. Thanks for stopping by.

[@tamugrad2007]

The problem is that, even with a detailed breakdown, it'll never be accurate everywhere, or even in the same area over time. Prices are very regional and change constantly. At best, it's only a rough estimate. To truly get an accurate detailed bid, you need to contact the builders in your area...all of them...and get quotes. Be very specific on your requirements and make sure it's an apples to apples comparison. That means you probably need to have your detailed plans before you contact a builder. Even then, the bid is only good for a limited time. So, as interesting as it might be to hear what someone else paid for something, it probably won't be all that accurate in terms of what the price is elsewhere.

[@MarquithLegacyAcres]

I totally agree with you. I assumed people would understand this fact, but probably should have thrown a "disclaimer" in there. Thanks for your feedback!

[@dan6442]

I've been talking to a builder about doing a similar project. He was talking about insulation, to combat "sweating". Is this something you talked about or is it BS?

Good morning Jim. No...we did not need permits or an inspection. In Kentucky, if you own a certain amount of land (I thiink it is 10 acres), you do not need a permit to build a farm type structure.
