Pricing A Steel Building Project

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

            There are many variables that go into the processes of any steel building project planning. That is why the estimation of the final price may be a bit complicated. One factor is local building codes. Buildings in the Rocky Mountains may require substantial snow loads and thus more expensive and stronger components than the same size building in Alabama. The cost of interior extras such as partitions and insulation also can boost the price.

            A basic steel building can range between $18 to $22 a square foot when taking into consideration the building materials, delivery, a concrete foundation, and the assembly of the building. If more component options and exterior amenities are added this can raise the budget expectations to between $22 and $35 a square foot.
