I just paid for a 32X64X12 pole building with concrete floor, 2, 10' overhead doors with openers and 1, 12' overhead door without opener. Lots of other options. Approximately $36K aside from site prep, stone, etc.

The best way to get accurate pricing is to call everyone that builds such buildings in your area for quotes.

Putting up a 60 x 64 with 16' ceilings right now.. Had to bring in about 25 loads of gravel to build it up, no concrete, and sliding doors for now...
its going to be in the mid to upper 50's....

I live in snow country and every years barns go down because of snow load. In my area the code is that the roof must support 50 pounds of snow load per square foot. I made sure that my roof is designed to hold 75 pounds per square foot and I also increased the pitch from the standard 4/12 pitch to a 5/12 pitch to help the snow slide. I was willing to pay extra for this since I have no desire to shovel snow off another roof...

I just finished a 40x60x12 here. 30x40 heated shop with 30x40 cold storage. Finished building with concrete and overhead doors was about $45k. Total cost with dirt work, gravel, electric, water, heat was right at $60k.

As other have said, it all depends on the builder and the options you choose. I had about a dozen quotes for my building, and had a range from $25k to $80k

The building is the down payment, the floor, insulation, lighting and others are where the big money is.

Depending on how much dirt you need to start with you could build that size building all steel construction on a slab for 20K if you do most of the work yourself, that's counting getting the slab poured but no labor on the building.

You asking about materials only? Or erected cost? No floor or site prep? No electrical?

Carter lumber has an estimating tool here: <a href="https://www.carterlumber.com/pole-barn-estimator">https://www.carterlumber.com/pole-barn-estimator</a>
You don't need to submit to get just the materials estimate. It says about 14K in materials for a 40x64x14 pole barn with steel siding, 1' roof overhang and no windows or doors.

I'm not sure what you mean by "three-sided". Do you mean you want to leave one end completely open? Won't make much difference in materials or construction cost.

In N/W Ohio you usually can have them put up by several local
lumber yards for the cost of the box store price ( straight from
farmers and sales man at Menards ). If you can hind a yard doing
ag. buildings they are experianced and usually work well with you .

Last summer I built a 40x60 3 sided for myself, 16 feet at the tallest 12 at the short side. My cost was around 7500 for materials and 4500 labor which included the gravel for the floor but not me drilling the holes for the posts or doing the grade work. To build for someone, turn key, including simple grade work, post holes, and general contractors profit/overhead/management 19,600 plus tax if applicable.
