Arch type steel buildings

Posted by shelt (My Page) on

I am going to put up a 30' X 40' garage/workshop/storage building. I am considering using the arch type steel building. I am looking for input on advantages and disadvantages of this type of structure. Best price I've found yet for painted-galvalume with end walls is $7700 delivered. Below is a link to Mfg's site for the style I am considering.
Thanks

The foundation is the expensive part. I know that part for sure!

any idea what a 30x40 slab would cost? That is the size I eventually want to put up, but I'll probably do a steel building, like these:

Personally I do not like the way those steel arch buildings look.

Have you looked into a pole building? Around here I could get one close to that size for the same money, that would be with them erecting it.

That building looks really nice! I am doing a clearspan steel building right now. Mine is 60x90x18.

You are looking at between 5 and 6 dollars per square foot for your slab. Depends on how much dirt work is needed and how thick your slab needs to be depending on a few variables. You will need to get with a good concrete guy but its gonna be close to $6 per sqft!
Good luck!

I'll be doing the concrete work myself. I poured about 5,000 yards last year. I hope to get started soon. Will update on progress. If I can figure out how to post photos I'll put up some.

Shipping from Ireland to the US would be a bit expensive!
