Cost To Build A 30x40 Pole Barn

[@Tiily1985]

I built the same exact thing April of 2021. Same size except height. 30x 40 x16.with same size porch and all the same Concrete, only i had the whole inside completely finished with tin to. 8x9 and 12x14 garage doors. Bought from Menards.$33139 for building,( includes 1 ft eves 5 windows and man door and 6 inches of insulation). $9500 for concrete 5 inches, $5000 for electrical, 200 amp with 50amp service for RV and 2 - 30amp for furnace and dryer. 10300 for labor. $4500 for garage doors. Total $62439 just for a completed building. not including roof top unit AC and Furnace. $3353. After putting in washer, dryer, bathroom, bedroom ,complete, kitchen and so on to make it livable, I have $120k in to it.

[@dexterranch]

Considering it’s livable 120 doesn’t sound to bad.

I just built a 36' x 48' foot post frame last year, and I was amazed by how much your concrete costed. We paid about 9k for ours. Spray foam in our area is ridiculously over priced though. There is only one company that does it, and it would have costed close to 15k to insulate with spray foam. In just the last year, concrete has gone up considerably, and steel panels are through the roof! We lucked out and got our wood at rock bottom prices, but if we would have waited until this year, we wouldn't be able to afford the building at all 😑 -- there are videos of the build if anyone wants to try building it by themselves.

[@dexterranch]

I know. Something has to give on these prices. Just not sustainable.

[@ThisOldGuy3]

@@dexterranch I am in the process of looking for land to do a future 1200sf post home build myself. Hoping to find something with an old house where we basically pay for the land and get the benefit of services already available. We plan on having the main building done by contractor and then doing most of the interior ourselves. At 2017 prices I know we could have done this for around $75000 or less on 2-5acres. With todays prices we could be looking at least double that, hoping prices drop so we can get closer to $100-$125K.

[@MiddleRidge40]

sure wished we had 2017 pricing now! , we are doing a 30x40 garage with a living area above and its very hard to stay on budget with material costs these days. Glad you took advantage of the savings back then.

Im in vt and looking to do a 30x40 garage I was going to go with an Alaskan slab. Now when you said that price is that just a building or is it with the doors and insulation?

[@frontporchpickin289]

Are you just running a dirt floor? I was thinking of building one of these for 2 horses (2 stalls) and to throw a tractor, hay, atv. I'd never need concrete for 😊something like that.

[@bradbrinegar1419]

I built my mom a 30x40 back in 19. I had to dig it back into a steeper slope and build a 5' poured wall on 1 side. Had $12k in the foundation. I decided to stick frame it vs a post frame cause of the poured wall. Found a deal on some loft trusses on face book that saved me about $1500. 12' ceilings and a 900 ad loft I ended up with $8k in the building itself. It's not insulated or wired but it's a really nice building for $20k. Would cost $50-$60 to do today. Crazy how much stuff has went up

[@dexterranch]

50-60 easy. Specially stick frame. Nice job! I’m not sure I would have the skills to build one without some help from a carpenter friend.

In Ravalli county Montana a 30' x 40' X 10' pole barn with inside slab, one 16' x 8' garage door, one man door, one 4' window, no vapor barrier is $40,500.00. You got a good deal in my opinion. This price did not include the dirt work, that was an additional $3,500.00 and had to find my own contractor for this. I had to cut into uphill side, about 6' cut on high side then slope and drainage ditches and was left with flat gravel pad. This would class as a basic build.

[@RasJac]

Terry Luke & Dexter Ranch…not if the “skin” is left on the open cell (as long as it’s not trimmed). For barndominiums that are lived in I like to do 1.5-2” closed and 4”-5” open. It’s a really good option for the strength of closed and all the values cc has without a ton of cost. Open cell then to achieve the Rvalue you want and the acoustics are softer

I had my pole building foam insulated (closed cell). I cover spayed it with 2 coats of cheap white latex house paint which killed the yellow foam color and brightened the interior (it seemed like the unpainted foam would increasingly yellow over time). I think it would work with open cell insulation as well. You might want to sample a small area to check it out.

Very good idea. I wonder if the open cell would just soak up the paint.

Current pricing..My take on current pricing is that construction cost are in a bubble. This is due to crazy materials supply and prices, and that many builders are at max capacity (labor shortage). Many experts predict some level of economic recession over the next 24mos, might pay to wait and see.

[@kl3mm3r86]

Yeah man, same here. I'm just putting back and picking up a few things here and there. Keeping my credit clean and building up savings. Just waiting for everything to dip in the economy and then build at low. The economy will bounce back eventually and you've got a decent return.

[@marclangevin9152]

that is a very nice shop. I like a lot of what you did here . i live in the Philippines. And we have the split type A?C units. In my opinion. they are a medium to high maintainence item. our bedroom unit. We needed to have in serviced( cleaned ) on average of 2-3 months service schedule . the same unit in my hobby room which is just a tad smaller. we can get it done every 4-5 months.And Where I used to run that unit 24/7. i now only run it when I am in the room. The bedroom unit we run about 21-23 hours a day . Turning it off in the middle of the night for at least 2-3 hours. It depends on the time of theyear and whether or not it rains to cool things off. Due to issues with the 2hp unit in the bedroom. We just upgraded to a 3hp unit . Which seems to handle the load better . One problem here is a lack of insulation.

I don’t think the original insulation was a waste because I would rather spray foam to back of existing insulation then the back of metal siding or roof which would make a repair to a metal panel possible, what do you think?

[@dexterranch]

Very good point! I did not think of this. That being said I don’t know if maybe just a house wrap or something would be more cost effective and give you the same result with keeping the bottom of the metal from being covered by foam.

[@angelageisler9637]

We just finished ours a few weeks ago. 30x40x16’ high in SE Indiana. $21,000. We had a good amount of dirt work which I did a lot myself, gutters, 14x14 door, 4 light panels, an entry door, 2 6x8 sliding doors for the animals, wainscoting, the overhangs all around and a gravel floor for now. Cost have gone WAY up this past year. We got pretty lucky on a lot of it. It took us months to even have a builder that would commit to even doing it this year. We plan on doing a loft over the stalls, water, electric, and concrete either next year or the following year.

[@dexterranch]

That’s really exciting, and it sounds like you came out pretty good considering the price of things. 16’ high will be nice. It doesn’t cost much to go higher and it gives you the option for the loft. I know if I tried to have this built today it would be tuff to find someone. The people that built this one came from out of state even in 2017. I would like to add some stalls on the side opposite of the porch. Waiting on the money pile to get bigger and it’s taking forever lol.

[@angelageisler9637]

@@dexterranch yup. It all takes time. We’ve only been here for a little over a year so it’s a start from scratch homestead. Lots of infrastructure to go first. We figured even if we don’t use the 16’ ceilings right away, we have room to add a level. It’s not much more $ to go up at all. Our hope is to add dexters next spring and we can’t wait. We are learning as much as we can about them right now.

One recommendation if you guys build one is to go as high as your comfortable with. Like 16ft. The cost difference between a standard 10ft building and 16ft is not that much, and it gives you a lot of options for a loft and other things. Just something to think about. Best of luck!

That's good to know. Do you deworm your cows? And if so, what do you use and how is it done? Thanks for your videos.

[@dexterranch]

Hi! So when I have done deworming in the past on special occasion. Such as new cattle being introduced to the herd then I have used Ivermectin based pour on dewormer. You just pour it across the top of their back. The amount is determined by weight. Very easy. The recommendation is to deworm in the spring, and fall. I am currently researching a more organic method that I will make a video about. For this and fly control. Don’t want to just drop it here without a full explanation. I don’t have anything against mainstream dewormer. I’m just constantly trying to move to more organic methods. Hope this helps, and thanks again for watching.

[@Liledgy100]

How controls ready mix plants too? Thank trump for the lumber tariffs.

[@TaylorHaubrich]

It blows my mind what people are paying for these buildings. I can do the shell for one larger than this 30 x 60 for $5,000. But that's compacted gravel under and not concrete.

[@dexterranch]

Nice. How do I hire you sir? 😄

[@robv4053]

You may have been able to still around 4-5 years ago, but you cannot get get the lumber pack for a pole building of that size for less than $10K currently and I honestly haven't been able touch a quality lumber pack for under $14K and that's with the decline in timber prices later last year... Concrete... Well, it's just absurd! First is was the Portland shortage. That calmed but opposingly crushed aggregate went nuts! So now the concrete is right back to the shortage high with the aggregate in it and then the sub-base I used to get $6-7/ton is now $29/ton... 1,300 square foot, 5" fiber and mesh slab on 6" compacted aggregate, hard trowel, sawcut joints, and sealed - best out of 5 concrete contractors - $14,260! In 2019, this was $6,500.

​@@robv4053 I have the same set of numbers in Michigan but 16,500 for 2022 and waiting on a refreshed quote for 2023. 2019 6500 quote but couldn't get home to come out once COVID hit.

[@PDZ1122]

30x40 would be $25 k now. Without concrete.

[@alpalmieri8644]

You mean a breaker box they havent used fuses in 70 yrs.

[@dexterranch]

I don’t remember exactly what I said but you’re probably right.

[@gibtube88]

Nice shop. The only question I have is about your electrical contractor. Was he licensed? That feed into your panel is not to code and was done by someone that had absolutely no clue what they were doing. I hope you pulled a permit and had it inspected. Thanks for the breakdown though…good info 👍🏻

[@dexterranch]

He was licensed. Young kid just out of votec. I’m curious what is off about it? I know absolutely nothing about electrical. I live in a area that doesn’t require inspections but still would like to know if I have something dangerous. Thanks for the comment.

[@salyluz6535]

@Dexter Ranch: 👍🏽 I love your positive attitude!! 😁 I live in an apartment on disability, no money to buy a farm or livestock or build a pole barn- but you just got my subscription!

[@chchchscott1]

[@bobsmyuncle4470]

Just a suggestion if you would stand still or at least do something with the cameras perspective more people could watch without getting nauseous.

[@dexterranch]

Thanks for the advise.

[@steveragno2135]

If that's a 10-ft door that building is taller than 12 ft

[@dexterranch]

It’s a 10ft door. I’ve never put a tape on it, but I paid for a 12ft building lol. Hopefully it is.

[@charlestwigg7345]

More than you can afford if you’re looking for pricing. Stick to a trailer park near you
