[Shop-talk] cost per foot of building

[Dwade Reinsch]

I built a 20 by 20, 16 ft high "barn" shop several years ago.  My slab
estimates were from about 3000 to almost 6000.  The lumber, etc., wasn't as
big a difference, but very large.   You can draw it out, count the number of
2x4's you need and get an estimate from Home Depot, etc., very easily.  But..
be sure to get several estimates.

John,

I don't remember the
calculations for per ft building I used, but I do 
remember that to build
higher was so cheap that it didn't make sense not 
to.

I put my ceiling
height at 14' and to be frank, for the cost, I should 
have when to 20'.

With
pallet shelving, car lifts, and being able to add a catwalk later, 
the extra
cost for the height is minium.
