metal building cost

Square tube kit, or welded red iron? BIG difference.

you can believe that the slab will cost the same as the building.

give nucor building systems a call in terrell, tx. they'll hook you up.

Anyone have recommendations in Thibodaux area?

I got a quote back in February for a 30x70 building...17,000. Same quote today is 27,000. This is building only, not the slab.

I'm building a 100x150 with 20ft eves and price is right around $13/ft for steel, haven't nailed the concrete price but I expect to be in the mid 20's for the total between the 2. I was down there last week, I'd say anyone in metal building biz is going to be slammed for a while, lots of major damage to commercial buildings.


Are you looking for a builder or just a supplier for the metal?

Thibodaux- I got one from custom corrugated in Gray, in 2019. Probably not comparable now. But this is my summary. 35’x60’ red iron with 3-20’sections, 2-12’x12’ door openings (ends) and 1-12’x10’ door opening (side) and one walk in door was $19,000. The three wind rated roll up doors came out to near $5000 on top of that, self-installed. Slab was $14,500 for 4” thick 3500psi, 24”D perimeter footing and 2-24”D interior footings. That included all form material, steel and labor, concrete, pump truck, pour and finish. Building erection was $8000. I did all electrical myself including 100amp service from my house, and everything interior in EMT conduit. Also plumbed in Copper myself (didn’t want to risk pex with rodents) a full bath, separate urinal, utility sink and camper hookups. I’m probably $50k or so into it.

Edit: building includes 1/8” thick reflective foam roll insulation on walls and ceiling. Also, that’s fully custom engineered to what I wanted. Not a pre-designed kit. Certified for 144mph wind.
