Metal Buildings

[Gun Poor Pop]

Looking to build a 30x50 shop.Red iron w/ 26ga. roof and walls and 4”concrete floor. I know that it’s not such a great time to build but was wondering if anyone knows someone that they could recommend? I live in the northwest part of the state. I have received one quote but was wanting to get at least another one or two. I figure that some of you fellers might have used some good builders and could pass along your experiences and knowledge.

I’m interested to hear suggestions too. Everybody I know that’s had a barn built in the last few years has used Morton with wood frames.

I own/developed a few commercial complexes and have built dozens of metal buildings (from 1200sf to 15,000sf) from the ground up. Message me and I will connect you to the contractors I use. You'll get best price out there (since you'll be coming through me).

*I have a fantastic contractor for concrete (he does everything from dirt prep, drainage to finish work)

*I have a fantastic contractor for red iron/metal building (he works with my concrete contractor to put in piers where needed and is the best out there)

*I have a fantastic spray foam contractor (open or closed cell) that can spray and paint very quickly and (more importantly) with zero mess.

All 3 have worked together on dozens of these for me and they work really well together. I am at the point where I could go from dirt to insulated building ready for power within 30 days.



I just had a 50X80 put up (in last month) and here was cost breakdown:

Dirt work/grading with heavy 4" plus 12 piers: $26K
Complete metal building (11' shoulders 15' peak) plus security door $57K
2" closed cell spray foam plus fully coated in white $22K

Roughly $26.25/sf

Example of one of my developments...this is on Waterloo in Edmond

I’d stay away from red iron and go I beam if I were going metal frame. I’d also look hard at a standing seam roof.

I’m probably a little bitter because I had thousands stolen from me, and did my damndest to hire every piss poor contractor in a 100 mile radius, but if it were me, I’d go talk to Morton. They’re pole barn and higher than hunter Biden, but they’re usually built very well, and if there is an issue you’ve got someone to go to and tell them to make it right. I’m convinced for one honest builder/sub you’ll find the other 99 are professional thieves and liars, are gambling addicts or have substance abuse problems, or are self employed because they’re the only one dumb enough to hire them.

My parents just had a house, garage, and shop done and are very pleased. They had some issues with subs (they did not have Morton do it turnkey but elected to hire out and oversee the finish work themselves), but Morton themselves did what they said they’d do. It’s very well built, and I’d put its strength and rigidity up there with all but the heaviest I beam construction I’ve seen. They’ve also got warranties if issues arise.
If interested, I’ve got the number of their GC as well as the foreman who is now out on his own - he was outstanding and they were thrilled with everything he did.

I’ve got a cousin in law that builds metal buildings out there in northwest Oklahoma. I’ll see if I can get his company info and I’ll pm it to you. I don’t wanna just share his personal phone number without permission n such.
