Recent Pole Barn Cost?

[sawduster98]

Last year I had Santelli Lumber from Palmyra, NY build a 30x40x10 barn for me.
It's pretty basic, 1 entry door and a 10' sliding door, no windows or concrete.
It cost just over $13000. I did the site prep. Extremely satisfied with them. :thumbsup:

Hey Guys,

I am looking for recent costs of a pole barn.

I got a couple of quotes from my builder to build a 28'x40' pole barn and he wants 39k. Thats with cement and all labor. ( I think thats overpriced) also no electricity. I plan on running a 100amp service since my uncle is an electrician, he can help us out.

I looked at a couple of cheaper packages through local lumber yards around 10k plus cement, labor, tax, delivery.

About to setup a meeting with morton buildings.

Looking to store my TO-30 and MF1250 with a few attachments. Also my truck when it snows.

I know the size is more than double of what we currently need, but I dont want to put up another building in 5 years to accommodate more.

Some things we are looking for:
1 garage door 8x10
1 large sliding door
wood framing not metal
1 steel human entry door
2 windows
1 cupola
12" overhang on all sides
Good snow load for upstate ny 16" oc trusses
cement can be poured after the fact if needed to or even next year

I know that most barns are all different, but if you can post up what you had put up recently with costs and materials that would be awesome. I did a search and the last morton building pricing was from 06, I am sure prices changed in 5 years.

Thanks Guys,
Tim

I have tried three different times over the last 30 years to work with Morton. It just seems to me they are not very interested in building this small. We had Kistler, Kistler Buildings - A Northeast construction industry leader experienced in building commercial, recreational, residential and equestrian structures, out of PA build a 20X32 this year. About $23.50 per sq ft. Doors not included.

Try a place called National Barn, website nationalbarn.com. That 39k price is way high in my opinion.

Thank You, I am now going to go many places for quotes!

I have had two barns built by Blitz builders. The last one (24'x40') four years ago:

1) 8'x10' overhead door in the front
2) Slider door in the rear.
3) 1 man door.
4) No windows.
5) No overhang.
6) Wood framing.

$10,000 less the overhead front door. I had the overhead door installed by a door company for $1,000.00.Pole Barns, Post Frame Buildings, Metal Buildings | Blitz Builders

How long did they take from start of the order on the phone, till they showed up? Then how long did it take them to put up.

easy to figure the cost of material.
Call a truss company and get a price for 28' truss at 4' oc you will need 9 trusses and two structural gables.
160' of 2x12 for the beams and some plywood filler to make the beams
a post about every 8' or so that is 12 post
I like 2x purlins on the top at 2' oc and on the bottom at about 8' oc
that is about 2624 lineal foot age for the purlins (i added 10% for waste here) and add in some for x bracing

Now all you have to add is the tin (truss co can tell you how long the top chord is) on a 4/12 it should be 16-10 3/8

now add the slab and sides of the barn if you plan on closing them in and any doors

I would like to take this project on with myself and some family members, but we are just too busy with work this year to take any time off. I will look at getting the material myself and sub contracting everything off.

I put up a 24x40 about 2 years ago.

It's stick built with a pole foundation.
2x4 walls 16" oc
24" oc trusses
2' overhang front and rear, 1' each side
10' ceilings
asphalt shingles
cement siding with fabricated stone on bottom 4'
Three 8x10 overhead doors
1 steel entry door
5 windows
100 amp service.

I had $19,000 in site prep, concrete, and materials.

Thank you for the prices, like I said, too much for me to do this year. I would like it to happen before the snow flies

I built a 30x50x10' pole barn last year. We did all the work except for garage door installation, electrical and concrete. My brother is an excavating contractor, so there was no charge for that work.

My cost breakdown is as follows;

All building materials- $10,500-that was for the poles, trusses, metal siding and roofing, 7 windows, and 2 man doors. also a 1' soffit all around.

Garage doors- $3800 for 1 16x8 and 2 9x8 insulated doors with windows, installed.

Concrete- $4150 for a 30x50' 5: thick pad poured and finished by a mason.

Electrical- $1,000 for a 100 amp service with 8 lights and 11 outlets installed by a licensed electrician.

Site prep- $1500 for 200 tons of gravel.

Total-$22,000 with no charge for excavating, carpentry, and trucking.

Good luck.

Thank you very much for the info. I am going to get some prices this week.

In our area, the companies triple the materials cost. I am most of the way through building my own 30x60x14 as a result. Lots and lots of money to be saved and pole barns are not rocket science. I'll be at about 15,000$ for the build, tractor has been very helpful.

I even got spunky and decided to add radiant floor heat to the slab.

A good engineer will design poles 12 feet apart so that you can use way less trusses and less carpentry.

I was hoping that this quote I got from our builder was just a fluke and he needed money since business was slow. But we will see what Morton came back with. The guy from Morton was really interested in putting up a barn for us, but then again I know they are salesmen.

Two years ago I had a 40 X 50 with a 15' lean-to built. I went with a company called ESH (QSI now I believe). If I remember, my price without the concrete floor was around 22K. I had a sub pour the floor later. I also checked out Morton, Cleary, National Barn, and several others. Morton builds a nice building, but I could not justify the extra cost.

Do you remember how much Morton was compared to your ESH?

Last year I put up a 24x24 pole barn.This year I added a 12x24 addition for the tractor.Everything added up to around 8,000 $ that is with 60 amp service siding and pavers for the floor.

Not bad at all! With a price like that I could buy more tractors. HAHAHAHA

many of the pole barns or rather "metal buildings" manufacturers. do out of state work. meaning do not limit yourself to just your area alone.

many of the metal building manufacturers. will also more likely do business with other businesses to setup large buildings for factories, and like.

different manufacturers can offer different things, such as lighting, insulation, metal vs wood and either using solid beams or manufactured beams. to trusses, etc...

if you are paying for good amount of labor done. some times it might be easier just to higher one company to become head hancho and sub contract work out for you and you just pay the bills (some times bigger discounts). other times, you may be much better off. contracting different things out and getting bids for each step. (can be a headache, and could cost more depends on how willing ya ready to fuss over calling and setting up times to deal with bids.)

Sounds interesting! I am going to take the materials list to a few places to see exactly how much it will cost.

How long did it take from the start of the order till they delivered. Then how long did it take to get built? Do you have a dirt floor or crushed stone?

Like as I said recently, the guy who meet us seems really interested in putting up a barn. But I know he is a salesmen in the end.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I really appreciate it. We have been saving for a while. After reading all of your comments, I will not just limit myself to Morton, I will look around as well.

Thanks again,
-Tim

Thats not bad, considering the size and what you are doing with it!

This is an awesome price!!!! Man, all the possibilities with the extra money not being spent on the barn!!!!!!! How much did it cost just for the insulation? And how did you do it?

How long did they take from start of the order on the phone, till they showed up? Then how long did it take them to put up.

On this last barn it took them two months from when I ordered it until they started building it. On the first barn they built for me they started building two weeks after I ordered. Depends on what their backlog is. Both barns were built in four days.

For $13.3k Cleary buildings put up our 24x36 horse barn. The "shell" only. This included 2 12' sliding doors on either end, 2' continuous skylights on both 36' walls, upgraded roof/soffit vents and framing/cutouts for three Dutch doors. A pretty basic/boring barn actually.

I bought/installed the Dutch doors, built the horse stalls and ran the electric myself to save some $$$$$.

We got quotes for the same project from Morton and numerous local contractors and Cleary smoked them all AND we couldn't be happier with the material quality, service and construction process.

Here's my barn built by Santelli Lumber. We were in no hurry since the barn went up the same time the house was being built. The materials sat on the site for a couple weeks before they built it. This went up in 1 day. They drilled the post holes at 7am and had to wait until 10 for the inspector. When I drove in at 3pm they were just hanging the door and packing to leave. 4 guys and a Bobcat.
I leveled the site and added 6" of #3 & #4 stone with 2" of finer stuff on top. After it was finished I added another couple inches of crusher run inside and tamped it down. It's ok but I'd go concrete if I could afford it. I checked out 8 other builders in the area before I decided. Morton was by far the best...and most $$$. Since mine is mostly for storage I couldn't justify the frills, I'm not gonna live in it.
