We just finished construction of my 40' x 50' shop with 12' side
walls. The building was bought from Dandi Systems in Kentucky and
they provided a turn key package. Total cost per foot including a 5"
concrete slab with 1/2" rebar 24" on center and peers for the colums
worked out to $15 per square foot. All I had to do is make sure they
had a nice flat pad to put the building on. They did a great job and
I'd highly recommend them to anyone.
