My 30x80x14 w/ 5:12 build started 2 weeks ago.
5" slab/beams/vapor barrier and building w/ ridge vents, gutters, 3 roll ups, 3 walk thru's and 1 window.
I received quotes from $22 to $28 sft for above build. Settled on $27
I then added 1" painted spray foam and it jumped to $30 sft (don't care for yellow as it gets dungy looking after time IMO)
One thing that I didn't put much empahasis on was the location of my build. I am building just off the Crest of a hill and the additional dirt work is mind blowing. I knew I was going to have bring in dirt but 180 loads of select adds up quick!
All worth it as this is the beginning of my forever home with the house next on the list.

I built a shop 20 years ago and had the same problem. I calked the whole shop and solved the problem. I built my new shop 1.5 years ago and spray foamed the inside and it took care of the problem. It keeps dust out as well.
