contacting a local contractor, as suggested below, is the best way, but another is to contact a major building supplier such as Astro Buildings, Morton Buildings, Lester's Buildings, etc. they have the info on hand in a book so, they should be able to give you a quote within a few days. be aware that they probably don't have the exact building that you had (posts 4' on center, etc) as they have set diminsions that they build by, because their buildings are engineered a certain way to stay within codes. but they also have a large assortment of sizes available. just get one as close as possible in size to the one you lost, and settle with your insurance company/IRS on a per square foot basis.
if you go the local contractor route, please don't expect him to do it for nothing. he will spend a minimum of 4 to 6 hours figuring an estimate for you, and that's 4-6 hours that he could be out swinging a beatin' iron making a living. if you offer to pay him, he'll no doubt do it, and he'll give you a fair number, in a timely fashion, that you can take to the insurance company/IRS. my 2 cents.
