While our 40×60 buildings are 2,400 square feet, the steel frame of a metal pole building is 2.5 inches thick, so the actual floor space is about 2,358 square feet.
Customizable features:
The base cost of a fully enclosed 40×60 metal building with 8-foot sides is about $35,000. That price includes delivery and installation for our products. Keep in mind that prices may differ where you live, as the cost of materials and labor varies by region.
Custom features, such as walk-in doors, windows, and garage doors, will also factor into the total price.
You’ll also have to consider labor costs to build and install the structure, which is usually an additional $5 to $10 per square foot. You can opt for a prefabricated kit if you prefer to install it yourself and cut costs. Fortunately, if you order a metal building kit from us, all of our products include free delivery and installation.
Unless you’re designing an agricultural building, such as a horse barn, we recommend that you install your 40×60 metal building on a 41×61 concrete slab, which is 2,501 square feet. A slab should be at least 4 inches thick, but if you plan to store any type of heavy equipment, it should be at least 6 inches thick. Concrete slab costs around $8 per square foot, or about $20,000.
Concrete isn’t very expensive, but the cost of labor to have the concrete slab poured can be steep. The cost of labor varies widely from area to area. To get accurate quotes for a concrete foundation, you can check with a local contractor.
Features and accessories, such as windows, doors, and roofing styles, will factor into the price. The more accessories you add, the higher the overall cost.

If you live in a wet, humid area, insulation can help prevent water condensation from dripping into your metal building. Insulation can also keep the interior building warm during the winter season if you’re in a colder climate.
Fortunately, we offer two types of insulation for metal buildings. You can also add your own insulation, such as spray foam, after installation.
Since metal costs less than wood, it is cheaper to build or buy a metal building rather than a wooden one. You can expect the shell of a wood building to cost about twice as much as that of metal. Also, since metal buildings are durable and low-maintenance, they’re usually a good return on investment.

Since a 40×60 steel building has a total of 2,400 sq ft, the price of your building kit can range from $60,000-72,000. This price includes the kit’s building materials, not the foundation, construction, or customizations.
Customizations and accessories including light transmitting panels, framing, vents, doors, windows, insulation, sealants, exterior finish, and bracing may cost more, affecting the price of your 40×60 steel building. Additional costs may also apply to premium exterior paint colors.

While the upfront sticker price may shock you, steel buildings actually last longer and require less maintenance than wood buildings, making steel a better long-term investment. A steel building is less likely to experience rot, warping, or pest issues. It is also more likely to withstand fire, water, and natural disaster. Less maintenance and upkeep will save you money down the line.
Standard 40×60 steel building kits start at $60,000, but specific customizations and accessories may affect the starting price. However, you may have additional costs associated with your steel building.
Additional costs to consider include:
There may also be a variation in price due to the engineering requirements your building needs to meet your local wind, snow, and climate code standards. For example, if your building is going to be located in an area that experiences a lot of high winds or heavy snow, your structure may require heavier supports or thicker materials than a standard building does.
