      All lumber yards and Home improvement centers will give you an estimate. I did it for 28 years. Just make sure you have a detailed list of requirements. Or they might blow you off. feeling your not seriously considering your project. If you want a ballpark figure, For a common size building they may have prices not including all the bells and whistles.

      @@jasonjackson329 well everyone is. What it costs me to do a job is going to be different from you. It’s every contractors responsibility to know what their overhead/operating costs are to stay in business. You also need to pay yourself a daily wage. If it’s just one guy that just started up his company he isn’t going to have near the overhead that a company with 15 employees, office, 6 company vehicles etc is going to have. The one guy is going to be a hell of a lot cheaper. You usually get what you pay for. Lots of great contractors out their.

    As a general contractor I can say there is no good reason not to share numbers. We show the customer ALL costs. Then the bottom line shows where we make profits and cover overhead. We consistently get great feedback from clients appreciating our method. Open and transparent. We run 100% on word of mouth and repeat business.

      They're afraid of the competition. It's like that thing employers bullshit/lie to you when they tell you not to discuss what your salary is, only they're doing it between themselves (the builders) here. If you'd know how much X makes, you'd have it much easier to detect bullshit. Same here, with construction. You'd know who's ripping you, who's doing right etc.

    Just built a 40x60x16 steel building in Yukon, Canada. Building cost was 50k, concrete mono pad was 21k, 2x insulated 12x14’ doors were 15k, propane Reznor heater was 7k, and insulation was 15k. Probably another 6k to put a second meter and 200 amp service. I did 3/4 plywood on the bottom 8’ and that was 3k. Costs are crazy in Nothern Canada.

    Thanks for sharing that info for people who aren't in the trade to see. I do mostly bathroom renos and for a very basic bathroom, it's $10,000. $5,000 material. $1000 plumber. $4,000 for my labour and overhead. When it's all done my take home money after tax is about $2,000. And some people want to negociate. If I would give 10% off, I would reduce my income by 40-50%. Now I just break down the quotes to show 80% of the money doesn't go into my pocket. The opposite is also true. If I manage to charge $11,000, that's only an extra 10% cost to the client and I increase my net by 25-30%. Cheers !

    I had a pole barn builder build a 40’ wide x 30’ deep barn in November 2019. I did all the site work, flat and level compacted, ready to build. Based on that, he quoted 20 K, and stuck to it. Now, I provided the 2 10’ wide x 8’ tall garage doors and the man door. I installed the doors and provided and installed the windows. I also (with expert help) did the concrete. I also did all the electrical and heating. Today (January 2022) I have a total of 29K into the building, and still have insulation and interior to finish. Sure, I could have paid a contractor to do everything while I sat on the porch and drank beer, but that just ain’t me. With todays whacko materials pricing, I’d be 50% higher.

Materials only included 1 man door, 2 windows, 12x10 door. (Wish i went 16 wide). I did all the ground work with rented equipment, i bought a cheap sight level to score grade height and squared it with string and tape measure. After building, i back filled and tamped for slab. 26x36x6in slab poured and finished for 5500$. Whole project cost me no wiring yet, with insulation roof and walls, with equipment costs 22k.

    We were all ready to build last spring (36' x 48') - but lumber was literally four times what it normally was so we did more land clearing while we waited. The land clearing ended up turning into a much larger project as we needed to build a massive concrete block retaining wall (add 10k). Once the land was cleared and we knew how big we could go, we upped the width from 30' to 36'. I did every part of the building that I could myself, and it wound up costing about $40k. That price includes having the Amish install the tin. It just got too late in the year and we needed to get the tin on fast - not something I was able to do by myself in December! The building has four high quality 36" x 60" windows, three man doors, a 10' x 16' garage door with a chain life (not fully installed yet - waiting on parts), and a 8' x 8' overhead door (manual lift).
    We are just starting the insulation and have an interesting way of doing it with local materials. We will do a price breakdown when we are done, but the 40k mentioned above is pretty close so-far. As I said earlier, I built the thing by myself wherever possible - I have no heavy machinery - and hired out the things I couldn't (or shouldn't) do. I made a time lapse of the process that has chapters in the description that link to all of the videos if anyone wants to see how I did the shell. The insulation and interior framing are a work in progress 😊

    Thank you so much for going over the numbers to build the garage.
    I have been wanting to build one for storage at our cottage but I had no idea what kind of money we were looking at. Thank you, your video was so helpful. Hmmm Now to find someone who builds your way with Post and Frames....
    Just call around and ask I suppose. Looking forward to your next series....

    I think the biggest disappointment for myself and many of my peers is just when things in life started to fall in line financially, for myself about 4 years ago, i looked at the market and the cost of things and said “ok, in the next 3-4 years i need to be in this position to to be able to afford what i always wanted”. Now that time has elapsed and i have my financial goals in line as from where i set them, but the the finish line has been moved 50% farther down the field, making a build like much of what i see on your social media platforms, unattainable for the time being.

      Exactly! Inflation should be a given. It absolutely helps to provide a gauge. I know from my own experience that every company can vary widely on what they want to mark things up. I had the same building quoted 7 different times, every company used the same supplier for steel (In the US there are really only 2 suppliers for all steel buildings) and had estimates from 30,000 to 105,000 for the same exact building.

    From one business owner to another, bravo!! Totally different business, but your honesty and demeanor is very impressive. Everyone deserves to make a living and your margins aren't outrageous as some of the local builders in my neck of the woods. I wish we were closer to each other because I would love to get a 35 x 45 shore house and this is the most economical way to go. Most builders in the NE are over $250 per foot and the $150 for the class of structure you put out is phenomenal! Again, much luck in the future and keep up the great work!

  • @northerndarklight5305
    @northerndarklight5305 2 года назад +24

    Thanks for the great info. But, the cost of outside steel going from $6.2K to $12K is over a 93.5% increase, almost doubled, not 50%, as you said. A 50% increase would be $3.1K (for a total of $9.3K).

    Nice breakdown comparison, Kyle. I built a 60’X40’X18’post beam shop in 2020 in North Idaho. I have a 16’X16’ roll up door, one man door, and seven windows. The concrete slab was 4” on one half and 6” on the other half to accommodate a vehicle lift and a tractor. The total cost was $67K.

Neither of these careers pay very well so I’ve been interested in the owner-builder side of things and feel i’m adventurous enough to try building something like this if it’s feasible. Do you believe a young man whose willing to put in the reading knowledge and studying channels like this could build something like this on their own with a few helping hands? I would love to have a further conversation for your price if your are interested.

I’m to the point where I do so much work alone or with family because where I am from contractors do the bare minimum because they don’t care, or they just do the most expensive thinking it’s the best but they ruin it in the long run.

    Hey Kyle. Enjoy watching your projects go up. Have the pad all ready to go for a new machine shed. Cold storage. 60 x 96 with a 30' end door, wainscoting, perma-columns. You are just too far away, so I have contracted with Morton buildings. This is my second Morton in less than 10 years. Was very happy with the 1st building. An employee owned company. In Feb 2020 I was quoted $86137. I didn't do the project at the time, because I didn't have enough spare cash laying around, and I don't like to borrow money. I signed contract in Oct 2021 for $94300. Both building quotes nearly identical in every respect. They are to start in early Feb. I am in NW Iowa.
