Originally posted by cam6467 View PostI've got numbers for several contractors in the Somervell County area who specialize in steel building construction. I'm planning on making several calls tomorrow to get some idea of what this thing will run me to erect.
I'm going to hire out the foundation and shell, then I'll take over from there. It's always fun to try to guess at a ballpark figure for this thing, so I'll use BrianL's figures:
Foundation (@ $6 sqft):
~$16,560
Building (@ $12 sqft):
~$30,300
Framing (@ $6 sqft):
~$9,600
Approximate Grand Total:
~$56,460
Of course, you have to figure:
plumbing....With septic 16K, electrical $8K, HVAC $8K, trim(Sheetrock) $3.5K, windows $300/each, doors $300/each, Paint $2K etc. Flooring $3K Cabinets $12K Living INsulation $3.5k
What would you guys say is a good ballpark for this sort of building GRAND TOTAL (As in start to finish, completed, ready to move in)?
I will be finishing out the inside pretty much on my own. I will likely hire out the drywall, texture, painting, cabinets, and countertops.Last edited by BrianL; 12-01-2015, 01:48 PM.

I made some changes to the floor plan. My wife and I looked at the island vs. peninsula and decided that the peninsula would be better for us. I hope we don't have egg on our faces when it's all said and done, but I think the space between the peninsula and the pantry wall is a little more than 5'1". That should be free enough for comfort.
The little grey square is the wood burning stove. My wife said she likes the idea of having it be the focal point of the living area. I've researched ideas for stone heat barriers to go under and behind the stove from floor to ceiling.
The wrap around style porch is my wife's concept. She had a pretty good idea, too! I think the porch will make a great addition.
The 25' covered parking was moved to the opposite side of the building from where it was originally. We figured it would be better to have an unobstructed view from the kitchen/living windows. This change also enabled me to put the washer/dryer closer to the 4' door going into the kitchen from the shop. I'll also be placing a spare fridge, chest freezer, and ice maker out by the washer/dryer.
Any input, suggestions, critiques are welcome!!

I was in home building as well and second the suggestion to go to an island. You can always put in the pen. later but jackhammering the slab after the fact and redoing the floor will be enough of a headache if you find out you want it. It will also make the space feel larger with the island.

If you want to see it done right check out Ronny's (Duckhunter2007) thread awhile back. He and his wife did a lot of it themselves and I must say did a WHALE of a job. He has a whole lot better level skill sets than I do that's for sure! He did a great job chronologically taking us along. It was impressive!
Good luck again.
