Equipment Shed Pricing, WOW!

[TXUSMC]

We are in the market to have a 40' x 40' equipment shed built. Closed in on three sides, open front, one bay being 40' deep and the other only being 20'. I have received four quotes, both metal and wood framing. They are coming in at over $16k and I am in shock. I was hoping to be in the $8k range. There's no slab, no electric, no pluming, just a lean-to shed for a camper and a tractor. Are my expectations not realistic?

The evidence points to no. Probably $8K in materials.

For that price range, the regular carport material is what you’ll need to get.
Is that what you got quoted?
We built this 40’ x 30’ with a 15’ x 25’ enclosed shop and it was around $8800

I had a 24x30 put up 18 months ago and was right at 10K for building not including slab or doors.

I was quoted red metal prices. Who built this one? Got any contact info?

I added a 30x30 to my existing shop. Wood frame, enclosed on two side existing shop took care of the third side. Paid 7,100.00 two years ago.

Im pricing a 40x60 shop right now with concrete slab and I am kind of surprised with the quotes im getting. Solid 39-41k

Superior Carports out of Victoria built it.
I priced it at several other carport places and there’s not much price difference with any of them.

Eat`n ain`t cheap.

Nothing is cheap now, I cringe every trip to HD or Lowes

[PondPopper]

That's sounds very expensive for what you are wanting.. Insane actually.

Agreed. I want to haggle but it looks like there’s not much room.

We built a 40’x40’ for around $13k two years ago. Enclosed on three sides with a loft area thats 10’x20’. Also has gutters. Now a buddy did it for me so im sure we got somewhat of a deal, but I doubt he cut too much profit out.

Are you free spanning the rafters or will there be center supports?

I built a 40x60 pole barn with a 25’ carport extension up front and a 15’ lean to all the way down the 85’. 14’ eves 3 garage style doors, 4 windows, 2 walk through doors and NO CONCRETE for around 38k. It was windstorm certified though so it had quite a bit more material involved.

That was the most competitive bid I got from a company I was willing to use.
