Yes. Steel building kits bolt together and come with full plans and installation instructions, so many owners put up smaller buildings themselves.
For buildings over about 2,000 square feet, most owners hire an experienced erection crew because the frame needs lifting equipment. Doing the work yourself saves the construction cost, about $5 to $10 per square foot.
Three ways to build:
Even on a DIY build, two things come first:
DIY metal building kits cost the same as any other kit; the savings are in the labor.
A standard metal building kit includes everything you need to put up the basic shell: the steel frame, roof and wall panels, trim, fasteners, and engineer-stamped plans. Then choose the doors, windows, roof style, insulation, and add-ons to suit your needs.
Included in a standard kit:
Custom options:
Not included:
The manufacturer engineers each building for the wind, snow, and seismic loads for your job site.
Note. Delivery charges vary by supplier, so ask before you order.
A metal building shell is the building's exterior: the steel frame, roof and wall panels, trim, and door openings. A standard metal building kit includes only the shell. The foundation, interior finish, and insulation cost extra.
Some suppliers call a shell kit a 'building in a box' because everything arrives together as one package.
Shell, erected or turnkey:
Shell kit: the parts arrive by truck, and you or a hired crew put them up.
Erected shell: a crew puts the shell up on your concrete slab once it is poured. You finish the inside.
Turnkey building: one company handles the foundation, the shell, and any finish work you agree on in writing.
The kit prices above are for the shell. Ask the suppliers in your free quotes whether they also erect the building.
Prefab metal building kits come in designs for almost any end use: homes, shops, garages, farms, and commercial buildings. Every kit is made to your size and options.
