40x60 Metal Building Erection
A 40x60 steel building gives you 2,400 square feet of clear-span space: enough for a multi-bay shop, a big garage, farm storage or a barndominium. We've erected seven of them across Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, and a typical 40x60 goes up in 6 to 10 days once materials are on site.
40x60 buildings we've erected.
Same footprint, very different buildings. Our 40x60 builds run from a 10 ft eave garage in Parker to a 20 ft eave barndominium in Kiowa, plus a 40x60 alongside a second building on a multi-building commercial project in Delta, Utah.

Erecting a 40x60.
Our metal building erection typically runs $5 to $20 per square foot, so erection for a 40x60 usually falls between about $12,000 and $48,000. Where yours lands depends on the eave height, doors, insulation and other accessories, plus your site's snow and wind loads. The building and the foundation are separate costs. Once materials are on site, a 40x60 typically goes up in 6 to 10 days, and your quote comes with real start and completion dates. Comparing sizes? See all common metal building sizes.
