US $8.00
I want to know which would be cheaper to construct: a steel building kit that you order pre cut and put?
together yourself, or buying a load of lumber and building it yourself. Know-how is not an issue, I strictly need to know if the square footage is the same, which plan is cheaper. For example, I found I can buy one of the aforementioned kits that cover roughly 800 square feet for about $5,000. I am leaning toward the steel building kit and my husband is leaning towards constructing it out of wood because he insists here in GA it will be the cheaper option.
Metal buildings are far cheaper per square foot than wood. This is why many shops are made from metal buildings. If the material cost comes into play this is certainly the case. It is not hard to prove do the math. Construction time is also so much faster. If material cost is no object then it is up to the individual.
