COMPARE Quotes for Metal Buildings

A metal building is a pre-fabricated structure engineered to your exact requirements and specifications.

Our manufacturer's metal buildings are 100% custom-engineered to your size, roof style, functionality, and look requirements.

Engineered for Safety.  When constructing a new building, it's essential to prioritize safety by ensuring it meets or exceeds local codes for wind, snow, and seismic loads. These code compliance measures are carefully adhered to ensure the longevity and durability of the structure. Although not visible to the naked eye, they are the most critical customization for safety and security.

Tailored Dimensions. Each building is manufactured to the exact dimensions you specify and are available in the following sizes:
Widths: from 30 ft to 200 ft
Lengths: from 40 ft to 500+ ft
Heights: from 8 ft to 30 ft

Our most popular sizes include the extremely versatile 40x60 metal building and the functional 30x40 metal building kit package.

Multiple Roof Styles. Most buildings are shipped with gable profiles with either a 1:12 or 2:12 pitch, with the chance to increase this to 6:12. Our second most popular option is the single slope available in pitches from 1/2:12 to 4:12.

Other available roof styles include monitor and gambrel, popular choices for farm storage, and, more recently, barn homes & barndominiums.

Designed for Functionality. Access and walk doors fitted and positioned precisely where you need them… select from several popular door types. Add sheltered spaces such as porches and patios, or add extra covered outdoor storage space with the addition of a lean-to. Again, all of these structural upgrades are manufactured to your requirements.

Unique Designs. You can alter the exterior of your steel building to match existing structures, blend into the environment, or match your company brand.

Add a unique color scheme and mix-and-match paint choices for walls, roofing, siding, and trim with over 100 available combinations.

Kit packages come with commercial-grade metal exterior panels, but you can opt to swap these out for architectural siding, insulated panels, and more.

Get precisely the building you need in terms of both form and function. From the dimensions and shape to the color and finish of the exterior, our dealers will work with you to create a solution that is tailored to your exact specifications.

Key benefits of a steel building include:

Precision-engineered and manufactured. Our steel buildings are durable, functional, and long-lasting, with warranties of 30+ years. Each PEMB is manufactured to meet or exceed your local building code requirements, even in the harshest and most unpredictable environments.

Bespoke plans & layouts. No need to hire an architect. All the packages supplied by our vetted distributors include free designing and configuration consultation as part of your kit package.

Designed for functionality. Unlike off-the-shelf steel structures sold online and at big box stores, our steel frame buildings are manufactured to meet your specific needs, whether you need a second-level, oversized entryway or any other option.

Our suppliers also have a range of roof styles, including traditional pitched to arched Quonset buildings.

Service. Your chosen supplier will work closely with you throughout the configuration process, ensuring you get the ideal solution.

Please note. You are not obligated to purchase upgrades such as doors, windows, roofing, and siding materials from your chosen vendor. You can order a standard package with the desired number and dimensions of framed openings, and you then finish the building with materials sourced by you, your designer, or your architect.

BuildingsGuide works with some of North America's best metal building suppliers, allowing you to pick a quality partner for your project quickly.

Once you request a quote, we match you with four suitable vendors based on your location and requirements. Before selecting a company, you may want to consider the following.

Price alone should not be the deciding factor. Steel buildings are a significant investment in both time and money. It is essential not to settle for the first or the cheapest manufacturer you come across. Take the time to research and shop around to find at least three quotes from manufacturers you trust and feel are best suited for the job.

While cost is important, do not decide solely based on the lowest offer you receive. You will need to be sure that your building is manufactured to meet all local codes and is backed by a solid warranty for the framing, siding, and roofing materials.

Check reviews and references. Thorough research is critical when choosing a PEMB manufacturer. Reading online reviews and requesting references are effective ways to gather information. Ask detailed questions about their past projects and experience, such as the size and scope of projects, completion time, issues faced, and customer satisfaction.

Shipping Points. Most distributors will ship from multiple locations throughout the country, but you should verify the closest shipping point to your intended job site. This will have a bearing on what you pay for delivery costs. Although this will probably not be a deal breaker, it is something to consider before placing your order.

Here are some questions you might want to ask prior to placing your order:

• How long have you been in business
• Do you specialize in pre-engineered building system construction?
• Are your buildings certified to meet my local code?
• What is included in your base package?
• What is included in the final quote, and what is not included?
• What type of warranty is provided?
• Are stamped engineered drawings included in the package?
• Do you provide a construction manual?
• Is shipping included in the final price?
• Will we be required to have lifting equipment to offload the building? If so, what type?

Typically, the base kit package for a steel building costs between $ 15 and $25 per square foot. Upgrade options such as doors, windows, and insulation can add 10% to 30% to the final cost.
