answers are going vary widely based on location. I looked into one last year in Sep while out in the Montrose area of SW CO and was told about $100K for a bare bones pole barn on slab. The guy who gave me the quote really couldn't give a fuck either whether I like the price or not as he was slammed building multi- million dollar homes for Californians coming to CO to show those stupid cowboys how it's done in California.
That was in Sep. I'd imagine the price has gone up 50% since then due to lumber costs. Now doesn't seem the time to get into any major construction projects involving wood. |

As stated, lumber is outrageously expensive now, I got a quote of $15.5k for a 12x20 shed on an already poured slab with j bolts installed. I’m waiting another 6mo before my buddies and I build it. Our 32x40x14 pole barn on a 6” deep slab was $65k 8 years ago. We have 3 level and a 14’ slider.

No possible way to tell...
I got a bid for a 24x48’ building with no doors for 22k. Figure 35k with 4 doors and 4” concrete. You can probably just beef up where the lifts go. (Pre prices for increases so add another 5k.) It’s the details that will drive up the costs. Gutters, overhangs, windows. Etc. but you can end up with a really nice building. If you don’t it can look like shit. Being in Ohio, I strongly recommend you get bids from Amish builders. |

Sounds like you need to make some phone calls and get some estimates, after you get your plans drawn up.

tagging for interest. My contractor wanted about $40k for a 3 sided pole barn that size with a dirt floor in December. I wanted closer to 100x50 - 100x40 was going to be about $60k.
What really sucked was a 16x35. He wanted over $25k for that one. Pretty sure if it gets built, I am building it myself. |

You just need to make some phone calls and get some estimates. Prices can vary greatly by area, how finished you want the interior, and by builder.
Had Morton build a 42'x64' with a 12'x24' porch, insulated shell with doors and windows was right around $90k. Site work was around $7k (one end had to be brought up 4.5'), concrete was around $7k.  Attached File |

I just recently priced out a 30x40x15 high pole barn with concrete.
$39,500 Was just too much for my budget. Looking at metal frame buildings now. Doesn’t look like now is a great time to build anything |

Be Leary of using the Amish. After several quotes from the whiskered scum I checked with some real builders. One common theme was each Amish bid was lower but not one single one had specs that would have passed the building code. By the time these “extras” were added I was above the cost from other national builders including Cleary Building Co. whom I went with. Also, if there is a problem it’s very difficult to get ahold of old Levi as they fold and reopen these businesses quite often to outrun warranty claims. I live in the heart of Amish county and would not use them to build a goat shack. This is a big investment be careful and treat it as such. Saving nickels can end up costing you dimes.

Wow. These prices sound insane. But the times are what is driving these prices I suppose.
In 2015 I had a 30x40x12 pole building put up with insulated 11’ doors for about $14,500. No slab. |

Quote for a 30’x50’x12’tall with 10’ shed along the 50’ side was $19k without concrete. I have a guy preparing me a quote for the concrete now. Mine will have three 10x10 doors on one side and one 8x10 door on the other side. Two walk-thru doors and two windows.

I put up a 32x40x12 in July. Kit materials came to $26,000 and included 3 Clopay insulated garage doors with liftmaster jack shaft openers, fiberglass walk-in door and 4 Pella windows. Labor was $4,800 (Amish) and concrete was $6,700.
OP-send me a direct message and I will share specific contractors. I’m in NW Ohio. |

30x40. One 12’ door, man door, double man door. 5 sliders. $18k with concrete. In 2006??
I couldn’t get a call back last fall to price a new 40x60 and demolish/replace a 2 story barn. I’m waiting until after my house is remodeled to see if I have any money left over. Sellers market. |

Price is probably way up this year.
The guy I used to pour floors for was like $15-$20/sq ft for a basic shell, and I would pour a 4" floor for $5/sq ft. He moved away, so that price is two years old. |

I had a 40x60 built about 15 years ago for $27k without a floor and one 20' door. I imagine prices have gone up considerably since then.
Last sprint, I had a floor poured in it, 4kpsi concrete 18" spacing rebar 12" under the lift, and 6" everywhere else, plus a 48x48x48 inch block pit for the infloor lift for $12.5k.

We are planning to build this spring /summer depending on lead times.
Pricing a 40x56 with 12x56 overhangs. One 12x18 door and 2 man doors, 8 3x5 windows, basic insulation, pad and electric excluded. 40.5k is lowest bid, 50k highest bid. Will do concrete and electric myself. Likely going with low bid. They're 12 weeks behind they claim. I'm an hour and a half west of stl mo. |

I asked around and this guy had a very good reputation, in general I don't go with the lowest bidder ever, but he got recommended by enough neighbors I thought I'd give him a shot. He did a fantastic job. Showed up when he said he would, got it done when he said he would, and the pit is within 1/16" of square. He really did a great job. He is a smaller group and told me this was one of the biggest jobs he's done, usually he's does a lot of outdoor patios and firepits. |

I got a shit pile of lumber for nearly free.. free windows, free fridge, free water line, free sink.. I literally scrounged everything I could from everybody I know.. dug every hole and shot every nail by myself. Only labor I paid for was concrete finishing.. Still cost me 10k after all was said and done (and still not completely done. Everything is sky high |

I got a quote in Sept for materials only to add on another 64’ and it was $17k at the time.

I'm guessing it's going to go way up. Fuel costs are rising, and it was one of the only materials that didn't really move up in price last year. I'm sure they will make up for that. |
