Erection labour is optional, and utilities, equipment and furnishings are never priced. Open the design to choose a budget, standard or premium build, step any part up or down, set your region, and see where every price came from.
What materials does a 30 × 40 woodworking shop need?
The full take-off is above: posts, trusses, purlins and girts, steel for the walls and roof, trim, the slab and every door and window, counted from the design with common post-frame rules.
Can I change the design?
Yes. Open it in the designer and change the size, the 30′ × 40′ footprint, the eave height, the steel colours, the doors and everything inside. The renders, the drawing set, the material list and the price follow every change.
Can I see it on my own land?
Yes. Make a share link and open it on your phone to place the building in your yard at true size, then walk around it.
