Residential shop/metal building

Postby dukhntn » Tue Mar 22, 2016 12:34 pm

Thinking about having a shop/metal building built at my place. Nothing fancy, would be used for storage of boat, 4-wheeler, tractor, mower, etc... Looking at a 30x40 with concrete floor. Anyone used someone locally to build one?

Found an ad on craigslist for a company out of arkansas that does this size, with concrete, for around $14k. Seemed a little on the cheap side to me, but I haven't started pricing them yet either.

We just built a 40x80 and 30x40 in Arkansas. Do NOT deal with Nicholas Vandenberg at Metal Men Roofing. He'll be the cheapest around but has ZERO labor force. It's bad when an owner of the building has to help build it from the ground up.

depends on if you want red iron frame it just a metal carport style building. I am having large buildings built for 14 a foot now. Smaller would be a few more dollars a foot.

there's a guy out of Pelahatchie, Town and Country Builders that does metal buildings. I purchased a 40x40 pole barn kit from him a couple years and ago and built it myself... don't save a ton of money doing this but I enjoyed the project. I plan on pouring a slab this summer and walling it in. Anyway, give him a call.

That is a nice look building, Greenhead22. You guys obviously put some effort into dressing it out right.

You probably won't be using them in Vicksburg, but don't use Reed's metals. Or at least don't use their install contractors. Buildings are ok, but their installers are as shady and unprofessional as they come.
