How Much Does it Cost to Construct a Metal Building Kit?

All metal building projects must budget for concrete piers or a slab and erection costs. Depending on where in the country you plan to build and the size of the building, these project costs can be on the lower end or higher end of the range. Larger buildings, usually above 5,000 SQFT tend to be on the lower end of the spectrum and as shown below, concrete and erection will cost more in some areas of the country regardless of size.

Concrete $10 - $15 per SQFT
Erection $7 - $10 per SQFT

Frequently Asked Questions

Metal Building Construction Cost Factors

Just as the price of your metal building system depends on the current price of steel, the intended use and your location for engineering, the cost to construct your building will also depend heavily on a few factors. We’ve already outlined how the size of your building will cause the price per foot of construction services to increase or decrease, but equally important is where you plan to build. As you can see in the infographic, regardless of size, the cost of constructing your building will increase if you live in an area like the Northeast where union labor is prevalent.

Turnkey Projects

Our contractor network is capable of delivering turnkey services if you are building a metal home, barndominium, church or other building that requires more extensive interior finishes. Turnkey prices are more difficult to provide price ranges for because the range depends heavily on the interior finishes you choose. For example, a horse stable with a tongue and groove ceiling finish will add significantly more cost than an office building with a drywall or drop ceiling finish.

Cost Analysis

If you are pursuing a project that has an extensive number of interior finishes, groundwork or more complicated exterior elevations, we recommend looking into our pre-construction services package which will provide an A.I.A. certifiable cost analysis.
