I just recently put up a 7200 sq. ft. steel building. I got quotes from a number of building manufacturers--there are a lot of them but in the end, decided to buy the steel building and the erection only. I contracted the other stuff myself--the concrete work, the doors, etc.
I found that the going rate for the steel building (without erection) was about $35,000. This is the cost of all of the steel but not the doors. The quotes varied up and down a little from that and depending on a number of things. My building was very simple--10 translucent skylights, a 2" insulation blanket in the ceiling only and openings for 5 roll up doors.
I got quotes from HCI, Bulldog, Portland, Kaiser, Kentucky and General. Watch out for 'The General'. They do the most advertising (like with Paul Harvey, Good Day) but in talking to them, it felt like a scam. Couldn't get a straight quote. They had 1400 buildings to sell but only a dozen or so left and if I gave them a down payment immediately they may be able to hold one for me but it had to be immediate. Then to find out the final cost, I needed to become a dealer and I'd get stuff at half off which worked out to about the same or more than some of the other quotes. In the end, I went with the HCI.
However, in the end, the steel is only about a third of the cost. The excavation, concrete, erection, and doors amount to the other two thirds and I don't have any water or electricity in the building. My costs may differ from yours because I'm in Oregon.

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
