Built a 24x30 pole barn shop, steel roof trusses at 10’oc. 6x6 posts with 2x4 infill framing. All in at $18,000. Includes 2 - 10x8 overhead doors R10 insulated, 1 3’ door, concrete slab, whole building has 7/16 osb on roof and walls. Also has 12’ side walls, 4/12 pitch roof. In addition, it has a 10’x24’ loft in the rear that is 8’ aff. I did all the work myself except grading the pad and concrete finishing. I did form and prep for the slab, finisher placed and finished concrete. Not bad for $25 a square foot.

[@MultiShopMatt]

Not bad at all. I still want to do a "stick" walled building one day for more hand working stuff and a red iron one for bigger deep storage

There are couple of different effective ways to insulate. A friend of mine used panels with an airspace between the panels and the exterior. This added R-Value. When you walk inside you would never know you were in a metal bldg. He finished it and it is unreal.

[@scott6809]

I'm in New England and needed a frost wall so my foundation was $15,600 and that incudes site work and prepped for a 2post car lift in 1 bay. It's a 26'x30 metal building like yours with a 10'x20' lean fully insulated $21,400. I needed it engineered for higher wind and snow load per local building code so engineer plan cost $1550. My driveway is millings/hard pack and came out to $5000.

[@MultiShopMatt]

That seems to be about inline with what I would expect, especially with the extra steps you have to take in that climate.

Why the dark color for the exterior? I would think white (or close to it) would be much cooler for the overall interior comfort of the building?

[@nathanfisher4687]

Been considering buying a 30x40 building and found your video useful. Some thoughts: - I saw the black color and thought it would get really hot. Seems I was correct. - I want to run electric to mine. Would appreciate a follow up if you have electric put in - I was also wondering if buildings like that need gutters, and I think the answer is yes. Wondering if they are additional add ons. Would probably need a means of draining the water away from structure

[@MultiShopMatt]

Yup. -we did black mostly to blend in and not stick out. A sacrifice for sure. - electric follow-up video coming soon. We are close to doing that! - and gutters are an add on we didn't yet and have put lots of stone around edges to catch splash.

[@mburke1211]

I recently had electric installed in a shop about half that size, but full 50A service with multiple 220V outlets, and overkill on the 110 outlets and lighting, for $5k. I think there are 12 breakers in the panel total. I already had a sub-panel on the back of my house they homed it to, and there was about 100’ of trenching/conduit to the building. Cost can obviously vary greatly depending on your design, but thought I would give you a ballpark.

[@MultiShopMatt]

Thank you! Still waiting to pull the trigger, but these shorter days are making lights more and more attractive

[@brennanshiverick4248]

Did you build this or does the 15k include labor? great video!

[@MultiShopMatt]

The 15k included assembly from whoever the building seller was. There was the option to assemble ourselves, but it's worth it for them to do it. It was actually only 1500ish for putting it up, and that was one day, so MORE than worth the time, effort, and warranty

[@glm777]

Why did you guys do it in black? Why not white and be a lot cooler? Thanks for the pricing - I wish all would do that, don't know why people keep it secret - it helps everyone and keeps the suppliers competitive which helps the buyers.

[@MultiShopMatt]

The biggest reason for the black was because we did not want it to stick out or look like a warehouse in our neighborhood. Everybody around us is about on 6 acres, but the house is and stuff are still visible through the trees. The black blends in nicely even now during the winter when the trees are thinned out. If you didn't know it was there, you wouldn't know it was there unless you were to catch a glint from the sun at the right angle at the right time. Also, right now it's staying about 25 to 30° warmer than ambient temperature during the winter which is extremely nice

[@danielgonsalves5302]

[@Jason4Star]

Great video, but why would your dad get a black building in a Southern climate? You're asking for a hot-box situation in those Georgia summers.

[@MultiShopMatt]

Lives in a nicer neighborhood, doesn't want to look like a warehouse building in the yard. It's visible from the road, but the black definitely hides it. Also, when it gets insulated it won't be too bad. I can tell you though now, it's about 20° or more than ambient so it's paying off now.

[@rebeccapetrone7349]

Good info, thank you

[@MultiShopMatt]

Of course!

[@p4palmer687]

I’m also located in Georgia. If you do not mind, what company did you end up using for your building?

[@MultiShopMatt]

TOL Buildings (top of the line buildings)

[@troyemmert5296]

What is the minimum interior height. I know you mentioned a lift and from what I read you need 12 ft clearance to lift a vehicle to full height. I'm currently preparing for a 30x40 with 3 8x10 doors and went with 11 ft walls. Is this overkill?

[@MultiShopMatt]

That's basically what we did. "Stock" from this company was an 8 foot wall. We went with 10. If you look at the roof trusses, our peak is 6'3' higher than the 10' wall, with the horizontals on the truss kinda splitting the difference, so those are 12-13'. Should be more than enough for what we plan on doing. If you are working on more trucks and SUVs and taller vehicles, that extra foot or two may work better for you, or if you do extra pitch in the roof, you can get extra height out of your horizontal truss support.

[@MultiShopMatt]

Just checked. 140ish inches to the bottom of the horizontal supports on the truss.

[@rozzbourn3653]

im going with a 30x40x11 as well for a future lift. mine will have the 4 12 roof pitch though so the truss should be about 12 foot inside.

[@JesusIsOneOfOne]

[@MultiShopMatt]

Yup. Especially if you find a place that doesn't need this much grading and tree clearing. But toss in plumbing in the concrete, some insulation and electrical and you can have the framing done in your own time.

[@user-mm6xi3er5u]

Definitely not a house, a hot box. Only spray form insulation will keep this building reasonably comfortable. The black metal doesn’t help either.

Thanks for the video and cost break down plus the other build vid. I'm just now looking at metal buildings. So far I understand there's tubular steel or red iron (and the latter can be welded on site or bolted together from a kit.) Questions, if you can spare the time, please? 1. Assuming you've built on a slab the way you have, what is the lifespan of this tubular steel construction, please? 2. And btw, did the concrete cost and any site work include labor? 3. Plus, were there other details we need to be sure and look at when comparing bids for the metal? Colored screw heads, for instance... What else in the world do we need to watch for that might be included as default in some companies but omitted and marked up in others? [ The reason I ask is that my friend just showed me a quote and had not noticed that there was a note at the bottom saying the purchaser would be responsible for renting or providing a LIFT! That is heavy equipment and should not be required for this type building, surely? ( I was told not until you get taller, 14ft walls, on tubular steel.) Your 10ft sidewall building was put up by a 3man crew and ladders! Plus it should be included in the installation which was supposed to be part of the quote! ] Thank you for the videos! [ And the dog petting video was a lovely break. Kudo's. :) ]

[@MultiShopMatt]

So the slab was built the way that the building engineers from the building company told us to. I need to do another video this week where I point out the things they did on that and the building we liked over other companies, like the trusses and how they were different. They have a 20y warranty for rust on frame and walls. and we will be keeping it up, So we are not particularly worried about lifespan. More worried about storm damage than building failure. Concrete cost I listed was labor included. We paid xxxx for us to have a complete slab finished and done, so they came the day before and did final forming and poured the next day. As far as extra details, we had a pretty solid company so they didn't nickel and dime stuff like screws. I will say get the overhang/drip edge at a minimum. Ours also had a ridge vent at the rooftop. So that's nice as well.

[@user-mm6xi3er5u]

Build a pole barn, not a metal building. Look up Diamondback Trusses from FL. They have distributors. I am in NC. Drove 2 1/2 hours to pick up a 24x30 pole barn package. Saved thousands over cost of a local company. Metal buildings are harder to insulate and finish. Pole buildings foundation are less expensive. Do more research into pole framed buildings, you won’t regret it. A know people that did the metal building route, some happy, some not.

[@dustup2249]

There will came a time when you say that your budget was worth every penny. I just watched a KZbinr cry real tears after spending (his claim) $250,000 for a tube frame tent storage building that collapsed under the weight of a allegedly freak snow storm. It looked as if someone could have been seriously hurt the moment it collapsed, but thankfully didn't.. Even after you insulate this beautiful build and have a 800 amp 480vac three phase electrical service and install HVAC you will still not have spent $250K.

[@MultiShopMatt]
