Hi,
I'm building a pole barn to work on and store my tractor, cornplanter etc. -- Sick of working on this stuff on my gravel driveway!

Anyways, I have a quote from a reputable guy in my area:

Main part of barn: 40*40*14
Leantoo sides: 15*40 on each side (one side enclosed with concrete, the other outside with gravel)
Upstairs over main part of barn will be 16 ft wide by 40 long reachable by staircase with flooring for storage etc.
One man door.
One overhead door 12*18 on one end and a 12*14 overhead door on the other end--both insulated.
Some anti-condensation pannels on the interior roof, but otherwise no insulation.
Cost includes concrete: 40*55=2200sf inside and 800sf pad across front of barn, so total concrete: 3000sf 5 inches thick.
Does not include excavation, gravel, electric or any plumbing.
Metal is galvalume 29 gage.
posts are laminated.

Quote from Contractor: $42,000 This is $15/sf for the area that has a roof over it (that is, the main barn plus both the inside leantoo and the outside leantoo are includded in the "square footage"/cost figure.

What do you guys think of this quote.


Thanks in advance,

Bob
