I am thinking about putting up a a pole building & have been shocked by the cost. I just got a price today for a 54x90 for 35,000. Is this close to the going price or is the salesman way high?

Hello everyone,

I am currently building a 30 x 56 with 12'walls.
I bought a kit for 8600.00 including the tax.
The kit has all of the materials except the 10x10 and 3' man door. Also, I am adding some expense
by building on top of concrete pilings. These
are 18" diameter concrete pads 36" deep. This added about 845.00 to the job, including the cost
of the anchor bolts and 6 x 6 post bracket.
Also, I do not have any excavating costs since
the neighbor has equipment which I was able to borrow. I prepared the sight with a bulldozer,
trackhoe and loader. Then used the compactor
to compact all loose soil. Then used trackhoe
with auger to drill holes. About three days of
equipment work. Still have some backfilling
to do after building is complete. So, this building is going to be about 5.62 per square foot
without concrete floor or doors.

I agree with Old. Scrounge around for used materials. I built a 26x14 and a 32x14 last Spring. I have $35 in one and $18 in the other. I had to spend $25 on the second for a "permit", so the paper was more expensive then the building! Most of the cost is in screws. The county wouldn't believe me when I estimated cost at $25. Nice of them to raise my tax base $5000 on an $18 dollar goat barn.

Your cost per sq. foot (7.20) is just what we paid 2 years ago for the last building (14' sidewalls) we put up. That figure did include the site work, and basic interior electrical, but no concrete. We used a local general contractor with lumber yard supplied materials...not a national brand name.

Year and a half ago I hired a 40x60x16 put up. 2 man doors, 4 4x4 windows,2-20"and 2-12" sliders.
No floor or elec.$25,000. Got two bids, took the cheaper one partly because the guy put one up before for me. Good luck, Gus

I put up one last fall. Cost was less then $200 for it but I used all used stuff when I build it. It all depends on how you build as to what it maight cost.

I build a few every year. They average $10 a square foot with concrete floor, two garage type doors, and one pedestrian door. That does NOT include excavation.

I put up a 36 X 60 X 10 about 8 years ago. If I remember right, the cost was right around $16,000?
That price did not include site prep or concrete floor. I contracted separately for those. Allowing for the increase in cost of materials and inflation, I would say the price you were quoted is not too far off, but you definately want to get several quotes from several different companies before making a final decision.

Although your questions lacks some information (height, doors, finishes, etc.), I'd say $7.20 pe square foot is not too bad (PA).

Height would be 16 foot sidewalls. Site prep & concrete work are up to me. Door size is 1-26 foot & 1- 20 foot. There would be 1 on each end.
Posts would be 10 foot on center. Eventually I would make part of it a shop.
Reason I'm wondering on cost is that i put up a 42x72 with a lot of extras a number of years ago & that cost 15,000. I just didn't think they got so high in price.
