Barn sticker shock. WOW!

I'm adding a small room and a 3 car garage to my house that's 1,620 square feet. I did the dirt work, set the forms and tied the rebar. Rebar was just under a grand and I put it every 18 inches, on chairs. I hired a crew of 4 to spread and power trowel to a smooth finish for $2,000. It took 26 yards at $185 a yard. I'm at about $4.75 a square foot for the concrete. This was back in July.

A few years ago concrete was a tad over $100/yd. Like $110-$120 out the door, tax, delivery, everything. Just depending on how optioned with fiber, retarder, etc.

Just helped a friend pour 7.5 yards for a 23x27 basket ball hoop area / parking pad. Total bill was $1407.xx. So $188/yd total with fiber.

Just like everything related to building.....seems prices have darn near doubled

I had a 40x56x14 with cement floor, uninsulated built by an Amish crew about 10 years ago for $30,000. Sounds like I was wise to get it done when I did.

Yep, prices have doubled.

I was emailing questions to permits office today, they said I better check with zoning, they might not let me get a barn permit before a house permit.
I can’t imagine not being allowed to build a barn without a house, not everyone wants to live on their land.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

And zoning said no barn before a house.

I know you guys are talking about larger buildings, but I have 7 bay garages that are packed solid and want to get a building for 2 lawn tractors, 3 push mowers, a Kawasaki Mule and some other stuff that is eating 2 bays, I found an Amish place that will build and deliver a 12'x30' "lean to' style building with 8' high rear wall and 12' high front wall, one set of swinging doors centered in the 12' high by 30' long front wall, one smaller set of swinging doors on one end of the building on the 12' long wall, steel roof with "double bubble" insulation under it, full plywood flooring over pressure treated 4x4 base for $5400 delivered. I just put cash down to get my order scheduled, they are looking at around Jan-Feb for delivery. This is in western Pa, the building is coming out of the New Wilmington Pa area.

Video I made while looking at the building on the ground.
