Hello everybody.
I would like to add a barn to my property. I can do some of the work myself, however I have been looking at various local companies for some estimates.
I would like to get it as big as possible. I was originally looking for estimates on a 30x60x10 however I may have settled myself back to 30x48x10.
I have a firm estimate from one company detailing a 30x60x10 for about $35K, including the 4" concrete slab, sliding door on back, walk in and overhead door on front, with a frost free hydrant and pit, perma columns, excavating, estimated 100ton of gravel, and insulation.
I have a cheaper estimate for just the 30x48x10 for about $16K, not including the ground work or concrete floor.
I will do electrical and lighting myself.
I figured I would ask for advice on a couple of things.
Laminated posts? (detailed about $475 extra)
Bubble wrap insulation?
Insulation on roof only? (this is what I was thinking)
I'm sure I'll think of more but I'd like to hear opinions.
