Duck Lodge-Metal Buildings?

[msumallardman]

Does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to build say a 25' x 60' metal building? I am talking about everything including the concrete pad, a front door and maybe a few windows. Also, possibly a roll up door in the back to store 4 wheelers, etc. I know a jake-leg carpenter that can rough out the rooms on the inside but I would like to get an idea of how much the actual structure would cost.

I have seen various price ranges on the internet and wondered if anyone has had any direct experience in building a lodge of this type. Any advice would be appreciated.

Current unit costs are:

Slab = $6/sf
Building = $16/sf (for building of 25x60 size) - erected

All this depends on distance from bulk plant and availability of steel erecting crew. Most won't take a small building back in the boonies if they have plenty of projects in more accessible areas......unless they can charge enough to make it worth the extra inconvenience.

So, I'd figure $22 - $25 a square foot for starters. Get a quote and get it in writing.

Thanks Anatidae. So I could expect to pay $33,000-$37,500 just for the slab and shell? Da*#it boy! Being in the boonies is not a problem, but would this price include freight to Greenville and extras like windows and doors? Would a local steel erecting crew be used? Would the price of a 20' x 50' be the same price per square foot? Thanks for all of the help.

Don't forget to inquire about having water in your living area. This can wind up being an incredible expense.

I have a 24' x 28' metal building and it cost me $5200, slab and shell, lock and key job. I built it two years ago so it may be a little higher now. It included one roll-up door (8x10), one walk-in door, and three windows. I bought my building from Cover All in Ripley, MS, but you might find a builder willing to do the job for you that is much closer.

You will likely want to add water and sewer and that will cost you a good deal more, depending on whether you need a well and septic system or can get on public water and sewer. Of course you will need electricity too. Be sure to figure all these in as you do your planning. I think you'll find that water, sewer, electricity, and interior partitioning will at least double the overall cost, if not more.

Apparently my figures are a little suspect.......'got'em from a friend of mine that does cost projections for a successful architect, here. 'Figured he oughta know the market.

Oh well......good luck with the project.
