Building a Shop

Look into this company. They have plans for every type of building you may need. But I would recommend at least a 40' x 60' with 16' walls and a 16' x 14' doors

Please do not use Gen Steel. They are crooks!
Our church decided to expand. We hired a contractor and put over 100,000 down payment on a building from General steel. The contractor went bankrupt before he started. General steel had not yet started getting our building ready. New contractor comes in and would not use General steel. General steel would not refund any money. They had not started on our building yet! We find out later they are not allowed to do business in some states for bad businesses practices.

 

Get a Morton building instead, no surprises and extra charges after they quote the price, unless you make changes.

It's all going to be based where you live, we are just shooting in the dark here. Honestly rather than a shop I would get a Quonset.

 

Try sites like http://www.quonset-hut.org , get quotes based on your zipcode

 

K100's are cool. Not to jack your thread but do you have any pics? lol

 

My father built a shop about 10 years ago. It was a prefab wood building. 30' x 50' w/16' ceiling. The panels were styrofoam insulation sandwhiched between 2 pieces of plywood with a stud on each end and fit together with a tongue and groove. The walls went up in literally 1 day (of course the foundation prep work took a couple weeks though). He wanted to originally build a steel building because they were advertised cheap. Once he looked into it he found that he needed the heavier gauge steel because of the snowfall, which raised the price up.
