metal building plans/blueprint?

I was curious as to how to manufacture a 24x30 metal tubing building using 10/12/14 gage tubing with metal roofing attached to 1" treated wood for the roof and walls. thank you for any/all assistance/

I'm no engineer but I would think the gauge would be determined by your location and layout. Instead of 1" PT for the wall perlins I would use some heavy gauge hat channel, you can order it at a drywall supply store. Be careful walking on 1" pt, that stuff can snap.
This may help you: Framing
Just a FYI you should be able to order lighter gauge roofing type metal for the sidewalls too.

I'm intending to copy these metal garage buildings, but make them heavier and 10' tall to put tractors in. I've seen some that was 20x20 and built with 12 or 14 guage tubing I wanted a larger footprint than that. THANK YOU for the reply.

I'm looking at a raised center aisle barn that's constructed using 2" x 4" x 11ga. columns. The trusses are constructed of 2" x 2" x 14ga. square tube. On a raised center aisle barn, the trusses are relatively short (about 12'). All the structural material is galvanized.

I agree with others, skip the wood purlins and use metal. Are you also insulating the roof?

There are pre-engineered/pre-fabricated metal buildings that come as a kit. Everything is light weight materials. During my civil service days I bought several of them. Site adapt engineering was not a big cost. Only concrete piers for each column no spread footings. Floor can go in either before or after erection. Insulation provided is cellular plastic thickness as required to meet your R requirements. They even have door kits made to fit the assembly. Search the internet.

copy a known design, If you know of a building that is near what you want, copy the design, take some pictures, take a few measurements, and go for it, many times the company's literature will have some drawings of details, (if you know someone who has erected a building of your liking , they may still have the assembly manual),

I had thought about it, but I first want to see about the complications of getting the job done. thank you for the reply.

If your zoning requires it to be an engineered building, you'll probably need to draw something and have a structural engineer run the calc's and approve it. That's what I'm faced with. It typically doesn't cost much, $500- $600 to get it stamped. I can draw it in AutoCAD myself.
