Definitely get 240 electric service and you might want to consider a water pipe, gas piping, and a couple of low voltage conduits to the shop for internet/telephone and alarm systems. Put it all in now for future use.Looking to have a metal shop/garage built. Need everything from the concrete up done. I don’t have the will, want to to tackle it my self. Looking at a 20x30 with two over head doors. Has anyone had this done here lately? Who to use??? i’m in the middle between Tulsa and Stillwater.
Oh, that will be done, I’m knowledgeable in that department. Main water line like is about 25’ away from where I’m gonna build.Definitely get 240 electric service and you might want to consider a water pipe, gas piping, and a couple of low voltage conduits to the shop for internet/telephone and alarm systems.

Holly cow, Lol. I’m thinking about a 30x40 now instead of a 20x30. Two over head doors, a walkthrough and two windows. I’ve already laid it out on the ground and think it will be perfectI started out looking at a 30x40 then went to 40x60. I laid out on a drawing what I really needed and ended up buying a 40x75 with a 15x75 lean-to on each side. After the concrete was poured I walked around the slab and thought. "hmmmm....you know this looks small.....should have gone to a 40x80" :-)
I bought a Mueller building and had a contractor they recommended put it up.
The costs of concrete varied from 17K to 52K! So many concrete finishers think they can do the whole project. Buyer beware! The cost to install the building varied from 10K to 32K.
I think I already have his number. Steve Farris gave it to me and said that’s who he uses.I know a guy in Bristow that will do the concrete for you. You buy the supplies and order the concrete. Cash and a couple Coronas will get you a fair deal on labor.
and then double that.My advice...build it at least twice as big as you think you'll ever need it.
