How much does a steel building cost per square foot?
When you attempt to estimate a steel building’s square foot cost, you must consider several factors.
The style of the building will impact the cost. You could choose the most popular choice - a rigid frame, or straight walled, steel building. This type of building can be finished with stucco, masonry or brick on the outside walls. It is a very strong and sturdy building choice. The larger the building, the less it costs per square foot. A large 80x100 building can be as low as $7 per square foot for the building shell, where a small 30x40 building averages about $10.
Separate from the cost of the building itself, you need to add the cost of accessories (including windows and doors). Delivery and labor costs add to the total as well. Estimate an additional 20% for accessories and delivery fees of 8-10% to get a fairly accurate total. Labor costs during instillation can add $3-10 per square feet.
The foundation and locations are two additional considerations. Unless you have an existing foundation and floor, you’ll need to add $4 to $8 per square foot to lay them.
