Are you looking to install a new metal building on your property? A lot goes into preparing a metal building project. That’s why we have summarized all the costs associated with the spacious 30 x 60 commercial metal building. From the average cost that you can expect to pay to factors affecting price, we have you covered. So, let’s hop on to the details quickly.
The average cost of a metal structure is between $15 to $25 per square foot for basic design. You can expect to pay about $30,000 for a 30 x 60 commercial metal building without any customization. For instance, a 30 x 71 x 12 commercial building with a lean-to will cost about $37,000 with three garage-size doors, two walk-in doors, and eight grid windows.
Global supply and demand play a major role in deciding the price of steel. Further, tariffs and trade policies can affect the price of raw materials for a 30 x 60 commercial steel building. However, the market is usually stable if you add it up over a longer period of time.
Areas with higher local labor rates increase the cost of the project. Moreover, shipping raw materials to the site varies depending on the location.
A clear span gives you a column-free design without any internal obstruction. It gives maximum usable space inside a 30 x 60 commercial metal building. However, it costs more than multi-spans, which have internal steel columns.
A clear span can be up to 300 feet wide, while a multi-span can be up to 600 feet in width.
The wider and taller the steel building, the more it will cost. However, if necessary, you can choose up to 80 feet tall or even more, depending on local municipality restrictions and needs.
Depending on your local weather, you may be asked to include necessary features in the metal structure, increasing the cost. For instance, you can buy a certified steel building that withstands high-speed wind of up to 180 miles per hr. and snow load of up to 80 pounds per sq. ft.
A steep roof will cost more. Your roof pitch will depend on location and the amount of rain and snowfall. A complex design demands more labor, time, and engineering for gantry cranes, which can increase the price. So, whenever possible, keep it simple.
The majority chunk of your budget will go into buying the raw materials for the commercial metal structure. Buy high quality, 100% galvanized steel that last long. They are also resistant to weather, rust, fire, and pests.
