Thread: Steel buildings

Tweet

I built a Poll Barn Type of Garage 12' x 21' To park one car in . The Village was ok about me Building it . It has steel Panel Sides . It cost about $1200 in materiels to build it . I only wish I could have went Bigger with it . But I had to keep the Cost Down at that time .

Dave,
I don't know about any of those companies as I did my 30x50 with the help of my two boys. One lesson I did learn was in the permit process. Here in Kansas the key is intended use. If your intended use is agricultural, say for hay, horses, etc then there is no permit required, and no plans reviews. If your use is storage, shop, welding, or anything that can be non-agri then they do a full review, come inspect at several points in the construction process, and any "improvements" like water for a washroom or electrical add to the tax base. If I were doing it again mine would have been a horse barn, pure and simple. Not sure if this applies in Texas, but worth asking.

Same thing here in fla, but the land has to be agricultural as well.
