Although the costs of steel buildings can’t really be compared with the cost of erecting a concrete building or house, steel buildings can be both cheap and expensive, depending on what you need. Keeping track of all the expenses is important, as it will help you make an informed choice on the type of building you want to get, who to hire to have it installed, and what upgrades you might be able to afford for your project.

Some of the least expensive and smallest steel buildings can cost as little as $3,000. This price is generally reserved for sheds and horse barns, although some larger buildings might also be in the same pricing range, as long as you’re willing to sacrifice certain features and upgrades.

A 10×10 feet storage building made of steel will cost you about $7,000 to $10,000 depending on the type of building you want and the manufacturer you’re working with. If you want a larger or more customized steel building for storage purposes, the price can go up, but typically not by much.

The great thing about steel buildings is that their prices go up in a reasonable fashion. As such, for a 30  x 50 pre-engineered workshop or building, you can expect to pay just two times the price of the aforementioned storage building. Even large, insulated steel buildings that feature windows and high end doors will not cost you more than $40k or $50k in most cases.
