Pole barn, what size?

[carlhwv]

I had my custom designed house build 6 years ago for around $65 per square foot. My house has about the same heated sq. ft. as the pole barn but also has a 30x30 garage, a 10x22 front porch and a 12 x44 rear patio deck (under the deck is a concrete slab). I fail to see how a pole barn could cost more than a house to build even if you are in the frozen north where things cost a bit more.

I'm guessing for 65 sq/ft you were the GC? If not, I could use the contact info for you Contractor....

8650 is just materials. I'll be doing the work, with a little help, to stand it up.
