Finally received a quote on a 40 x 80 x14 , to frame the entire building, and insulate and install the roof, and supply the rest of the insulation and wall metal was 18,600.

Sure sounds like a deal when just the permits would cost nearly as much here...

Yea, If I could get a quote like that, I would probably be hiring it done.

My quotes were a few grand higher, and a lesser building. (40x64x14)

Permits, what are those.

Yeah I think I'm going to have him build this one. The last one I had him do that was at the old house was 15 years old and really liked it.

Now it's really a deal if you have a good relationship with the builder from past work!

What a great deal! I would'nt pass over it! I had a quote for a 32x48 enclosed (metal roof and siding)pole building with one man door, and two eight foot main sliding doors, for 16K$. And that is only the material.

I am also looking at building this spring and this is one of the options I am looking at, 42x56x12 with 12x12 garage door, walk in door, windows was $20,600 for materials, very strong for our snow loads up here.

With only one door it seems you always have to move something to get something else out. Everyone's situation is different, but it can be really handy to have an extra overhead door...maybe for the one machine that you always want to be able to get at instantly. I like that because I don't like starting machines I'm not going to run long enough to get up to temperature (especially in the cold weather).

I put two big doors on the front of the building (18 wide by 12 high) and smaller doors on the gabble ends (12 wide by 10 high) and I find I'm using all four of them pretty regularly. I think I'd rather have one less of the big doors than give up an end door just based off how I'm using things now.
