What Affects Metal Building Prices?
Every building is unique — here are the key factors that determine your price.
Size & Dimensions
Larger buildings cost more overall, but the per-square-foot price drops significantly as you go bigger.
- Small (12x20 to 20x20): Lowest total cost, highest per-sq-ft
- Medium (24x30 to 30x40): Best value for most homeowners
- Large (40x60+): Lowest per-sq-ft, ideal for commercial use
- Height increases add to steel and engineering costs
Steel Gauge & Frame
Heavier gauge steel costs more but provides greater structural strength and longevity.
- 14-gauge framing: Standard option, suitable for most applications
- 12-gauge framing: Premium option, greater load capacity & durability
- Certified framing: Engineered for specific wind and snow loads
Roof Style
Your roof style affects both the appearance and the price of your building.
- Regular Roof: Most affordable, horizontal panels, best for mild climates
- Boxed Eave (A-Frame): Mid-range, traditional peaked appearance
- Vertical Roof: Premium style, vertical panels for superior weather drainage
Doors, Windows & Openings
More and larger openings increase the price, but they add functionality.
- Roll-up doors: 8x8 standard; larger sizes cost more
- Walk-in doors: Standard 36" entry doors
- Windows: Add natural light at a modest cost increase
- Frame-outs: Opening without door installed for custom finishes
Location & Delivery
Your location impacts pricing through delivery distance, local codes, and environmental loads.
- Delivery is always FREE within our service areas
- Local building codes may require engineering certification
- High wind and snow load zones need stronger framing
- Site preparation (leveling, concrete pad) is the buyer's responsibility
Customization & Accessories
Add-ons like lean-tos, insulation, and wainscoting increase the base price.
- Lean-to additions: Expand covered area at lower cost than standalone
- Insulation: Keeps the interior comfortable year-round
- Wainscoting: Adds durability and visual appeal
- Color choices: 16+ colors available at no extra charge
Ways to Save on Your Metal Building
- Choose standard sizes over custom dimensions for better pricing
- Regular roof style is the most affordable if your climate allows it
- Order during off-season months (fall/winter) for potential discounts
- Compare configurations — sometimes a wider building is cheaper than a longer one
- Ask about current promotions and manufacturer specials
- Consider financing or rent-to-own to spread payments over time
