The TOTAL cost to build a 30x40 Pole Barn...💵 

I would like to know who poured you a slab for 7K

I built a 30’x40’ red iron steel building with two commercial roll up doors $13500, 6” thick slab with footers and piers $7000. Just myself and my 74yo mother. No fork lift or crane

Here in the Netherlands you'd have to add in 550K for buying your neighbors house so you have room to place it.

Did mine myself for about $21,000,..but I went with a few extras. I did have my beer buds work for me tho. I paid them BBQ n beers👍. Took a few weekends cuz I had to cut them off once they started talkin funny, but all in all it came out pretty straight,.. if you tilt your head to one side😁.

My 30X40 pole cost $45,000. But that includes a 30x20 concrete driveway. Includes plumbing for a bathroom which includes toilet, sink, shower, and water lines from house. Also I had a dump station installed on the opposite side of barn for my class C RV. I can pull in and dump my tanks and hook up water to my RV. So i guess im pretty happy with what I got and what I paid for it.

My grandpa has 15 acres of land and there’s an old barn on it but it’s huge. Starting this summer we’re gonna clean out the inside and start renovating it

We had a 30x30 done for 13,000. extra 3,500 for concrete

After getting a new room added to our house, 100 k for that sounds like a good deal. No joke

Yeah here in CA the concrete would easily be 30K lol

I built one 2 years ago 40x60 and it cost me 25k total, gotta love the Amish

My 80x40 metal was 16K, 16K for concrete, 5.2K for lumber. Not sure on labor cost yet. They are still putting it up

After owning and maintaining an old home (built 1884), I am looking into Barndominiums

I'd pay that! Show on up. I was just quoted 87k for 40x60 no plumbing no electrical and I had to get the permit.

I want to hear about your steel trusses. Where did you get them? how much did they cost, pros and cons.

@$200 per yard, $7k is about the exact you will currently pay in Georgia. $3500 for 18 yards of concrete and the same for labor to pour and finish.

Thank you! I have waited for years to hear this. I would like a 20x30 and nobody gives a straight answer.

No way would a pole barn be that cheap in my area.

That's a very good deal. I'm in Georgia. I would like to know who you used.

There went my pole barn dreams just on the first one 😢

Thats 10k in materials and I'd build it for a pack of beers and lunch.

I had a 40x40 built about 5 years ago for right around 20,000 , premium metal . Concrete finished . I even had some add ons as well as a loft and had a small room finished inside with metal ceiling

My 30'x96' building, materials and labor was $38,000 a few years back. We are getting ready for concrete and I shudder to think what that will cost!

If I was the guy charging it I’d want more and if I was the guy buying it I’d want it for less. Does that help?

in my country, you can get half acre with 2 bedroom bangalow with running water and solar energy , 500metres from the most beautiful beach for that amount.

here in Seattle area it's closer to 100k

If you live close to the Amish Country you can get something much bigger for that price. Now if you want it finished out with electric and insulation and all that stuff it's going to be more but you can do that yourself and save you some money. Go with the Amish

That seems super reasonable

Cheaper than what I was expecting to hear

Shit, that would be double in my area

Depends on where you live...different in southern states as opposed to northern states....especially by state

Dumb question, but say you do this and make it a house, how would you run water, electric, gas, etc. lines and pipes since the foundation is poured?

If you did the concrete yourself you would save $6k for starters

Yes. That price is great. I need one on my land in south Florida. When can you start?

Hahaha no way you get that done for that price today.

I built a 4500 square-foot home for less than $75 a square foot does not include appliances

That turned into a house would be a cheap build solution

$7000 for concrete seems a bit much, but it's been a while, so maybe the price as gone up

For that price, I had a 28x48 two-story post and beam barn built.

I did a video on how much my 36x56 cost me, and it was no way near 31k. But it's a 36x56 with 12' walls and needed a lot of rock for leveling pad.

It helps to know people who have been in an industry for decades, own their own business, have the equipment and machines if you dont, etc. Could always pour your own slab, and frame your own building.

Get a job at a metal building manufacturing facility for a week. Get the employee discount. You can get the building for cost plus ten percent. Then quit. 😅

Sounds like a decent price. I had a 36x48' pole barn built in FL. 8x8" posts, metal trusses, 2x6 purlins, and 26 gauge metal roof, no walls. $12,000.

South East USA $20,000 labor and materials for 30x40 wood frame with all metal exterior

Nah I paid 16500 material AND labor for Amish and then 4k for concrete in my 30x40.

Love the barn idea… but this one in Florida would fly away next hurricane

I'd love to know who built that enclosed pole barn for 7k.

Thats a steal of a deal

40x60, insulated, gravel floor in 2005 was 32000. Concrete is 100 a yard delivered, labor on top of that. That's a deal but I'd have to see it to believe it.

That pole barn like that in Canada is 2-3X that cost.

I'm from California... That price seems more than reasonable!!! The concrete alone would have been 15k-20k lol

I have a 20x30x10 building one man door sliding doors on 3 sides and three single hung windows. 5" concrete floor for 18k in 2018. 3k of the total was for excavation. IM IN central ny state

My 30'x40' was $35,000 and that doesn't include the drive way which was $9.000. So it all cost $44,000 in all.

Way more expensive than it used to be

I have considered those metal trusses for my house build. Yet the only thing that I have a problem with is now I have to build a ceiling. Which is fine because now I can get that 2 foot insulation in the ceiling. Which I thought about doing those osb I joist or something like that. I do like the idea of having a open attic area yet that extra cost may not be worth it when I can get roof trusses for 400 bucks each and only need 9 trusses and 2 ends for 10 foot centers for a building 30 by 100. If I go 8 foot centers then 104 wide and just adjust everything accordingly. For my build by your cost it would cost around 75k. Add in OSB/plywood sheathing for roof and walls. along with house wrap, caulk and tape all seems. Another 10k. Another 2500 for floor insulation and plastic. 500 for floor finish. DWV and Septic 15k, new well and well pit 5k ( I have already number of wells and may even use one of them. ) Then the build inside which consist of 3 bathrooms, 3 bed rooms, 6 exterior doors and 9 windows. 8 interior doors. Everything inside including heating and cooling around 50k. I am building a triplex kinda. 1 br 1ba type units. I have most of it down and figured out. Its just the little things and trying to reduce waste, reduce cost and everything else. I have 2 main lay out ideas and this may change over time I see another layout that is better. I would like to reduce the build depth to 24 feet as this would knock off 600 square feet. Which does not seem like a lot yet this is a huge cost savings by making it a bit smaller. This also require far less heating and cooling. Overall cost will be lower and more affordable. We are not looking for luxury. We just want something new and energy efficient. I am going to consider installing a 2 ton mini split in each unit made by EG4 which has a direct solar hook up option that can run the unit in an off grid mode with out a battery bank. These unit cost 2k each and require around 2kwh of solar for a total of 12k installed. Then I will install a kind of central air handler type system to move air in between each room to keep them stable and this could run low wattage all day and night long.

Can it handle snow loads? In Minnesota my company hand to replace that building do to snow loads! With a real post frame style building.

I worked on a real fancy one about that size. It was $80,000.00 It had a bunch of amenities.

Definitely a good price these days. Apparently everything is made of gold plated platinum where in from.

6 years ago, pioneer pole barns, 24x32 12ft ceilings, 16k with 4inch thick fiber mesh floor.

No that is is horrible price. I just build a 50x30 for under 20,000 grand. It’s called contract it out yourself. You’ll save ALOT of money. Don’t be afraid to use your own hands to build.

Im a general contractor in North Carolina and a slab for a detached garage I’m building that is 36’x42’ cost $30k

I had a 30 by 48 built in 1998 10' side walls with concrete floor and shingled roof was around $14,000.00.

If it’s just the concrete and not including subs for ground, framing and option for heat, maybe $20k or all in north of $30k in NJ! Estimate last year!

I just got a quote for a one car garage 1 door 1 window no electric not attached $32k. That is what’s going on in Maine.

speaking from experience that is a Very reasonable price!

Here in Wisconsin my 30'×60' was 25,000 just for materials. Add to that excavating and concrete piers it's about 37k. That's without windows, insulation, concrete floor, or finishing the inside of the building.

Yes seem ok. Especially if you're using it to put equipment in and keeping your equipment out of the weather. Looks great 👍

Probably for an all metal one. I think you can come in cheaper in my area if you use lumber framing and metal exterior

Most definitely! Concrete it's self will be 15k to 20k plus another 25k in material!

If the $17K includes walls; doors; windows; and such, then yes, it seems okay.

We have a 30x60 in Mexico it cost 25k plus floor and doors

Today 2023 only in dream bcz $30K is not even for material 🥵

Idk how old this is, but in June of ‘24 I’ve been quoted 60 to 80K in Minnesota. Slab & building only. No site prep

The math is just over $25 /sqft. For the clearspan and height it seems you have I think that is a fairly good price. Certainly not cheap but not overly expensive. Now the main thing is use....is it commercial and going to make the money back or is it just for personal use.

so I had my pole barn built in December of '22. it's a 40x60x16 ALL steel. I opted for double bouble insulation, 2 16x14 rollup doors, and an oversized entry door. JUST the building installed on my concrete pad was just over 60k. I also did wainscoting, which was extra. also the rollup doors are on the north side gable end which is cheaper to build. I used mid valley structures out of Michigan where I live, they subed out to North edge steel out of Indiana. I had my building installed within 1 month, that's first call to inquire to the keys being handed to me after it's built. took the crew 5 days to assemble on site. hope this helps those that are looking into building. I've been let down by almost every pole barn builder I called, most didn't call back or were well over a year out. I looked for 4 years before stumbling upon who I did. best experience and easiest building experience. also since then, my building has been through 5' of snow in just one of the few storms we had, plus this summer so far 70+ mph consistent storms with gusts of 90mph.

Does The price gets cheaper per sqft when you go bigger?

Shit my dad had the Amish put up a pole barn all wood. 34k. 48x56 one 12ft door one 14ft. 16ft ceilings tinned to. They even went beyond and notched everything for added support on header and trusses. And they were done in 5 days. Only 4 of them.

what month and yr was esitimate pricing

Was the concrete cost for diy, or a contractor to come in and do it?

Materials? Isn't the foundation more expensive?

Guess they don't get alot of snow there.

To have another company to do it, sounds about right. Lots of labor. Save on labor by doing it yourself. Then using reclaimed telephone polls. Instead of concrete, frame a raised floor out of 2x6 an 3/4 inch plywood.

Just had a 30x30 put up on 7-2-24 the poles, trusses and metal installed was 5,500 just had 16 yards of concrete poured yesterday 3675.00.

That would be around 80k up here in oregon that slab alone is 20k minimum

That's a pretty good price , but there is no way you spent 17k on material alone. Unless the prices went up that high after covid.

That’s not bad. I was expecting around 50-60 grand total

Wonder how much it would cost up here in Washington. I want to buy some land and build something like this but I bet it’ll be $80k+

*those costs are in your area. Prices across the United States, and the world, vary greatly.

Concrete is about $15,000 easy, labor used to be double your materials cost, so off on that too, pushing 40k easy

If I had to choose between the barn and 8 Big Macs, I would choose the barn 10 times out of ten!

25 sq ft , door 16 ft high add on

Before i watch,the money is in the slab,and if you get electrical, and plumbing, the material is fairly cheap,and 2 experienced people could easily erect this.how did you get the slab that cheap?

Wow the sheer costs of this compared to what other say in these comments proves we got some serious issue with prices in the economy.

In Florida that slab would be at least 15k and I would like to know someone that will build an entire pole barn for 7k in a quality way.

cost $30,000 to have a company build our 30x40 14' tall (side walls) enclosed with no window (hubbies choice) and on 10 x 12 roll up garage door and walk thru door. The concrete job they did is beautiful without the board spacers like yours - solid, smooth and even - built in a couple of days - all wood construction. 40x60 with porches on each end the quote is 62,000. Have fun!

Thats crazy im anout to order a building from Alans factory outlet and a 30×40 with 3 garage doors is 12,991.50 before taxes. Installation is free and they can put it on dirt gravel or concrete it just has to be level.

What about running electrical, any water supply, tapping into the water / sewer systems. For a free standing barn, not bad. For a shop, it's incomplete.

Concrete alone here in Australia would of cost atleast 20 thousands here that's cheap for your barn it would cost about 60 thousands here

Yeah, for 30 grand that’s actually reasonable but the concrete slab for 7K that’s fucking cheap

My 30x40. With a 10x30 lean too off the side was 15,000. Materials and labor 6 years ago

That’s an awesome price.I’m in NY,that building would cost me more than double that price,easy…
