CAD, as of October 2026. Structural steel shops start at 30x40 ft, and 40x60 ft is the size we build most often. They are priced from your drawings.
Which one for a shop?
All three make a good shop. The choice comes down to the shape you want, the doors you need and the budget.
- Quonset: the lowest price per square foot, and an open floor wall to wall
- Pre-engineered: straight walls, from 2,400 sq ft, with an engineered foundation kit
- Structural steel: welded to your own layout
