## What a 24 x 30 Costs in Texas

720 square feet at 2026 North Texas pricing. Ranges reflect eave height, wind rating, door configuration and how much of the interior is finished.

 Scope Per sq ft 24 x 30 total

 Shell, installed $ 22 –$ 40 $16,000 – $29,000

 Turnkey shop or garage most common $ 65 –$ 105 $47,000 – $75,500

 Finished commercial $ 85 –$ 155 $61,000 – $111,500

Shell includes

Engineered foundation, the pre-engineered steel frame and panels, erection, and a standard roll-up door. Shell is the scope those bargain “steel building from $25,000” adverts are quoting — steel delivered and stood up, and nothing else.

Turnkey adds

Insulation, interior framing, electrical rough-in, HVAC where specified, overhead and walk doors, permits, and finish-out. A building you can actually use on handover.

Pricing basis: completed UTS BuildPros projects across DFW and North Texas, 2025–2026. Updated August 2026.

- Equipment and mower storage on an acreage
- Hobby workshop or woodshop

### Worth thinking about

At 720 sq ft the per-square-foot cost runs slightly higher than larger buildings, because fixed costs — mobilisation, permits, the concrete crew showing up — spread across less area. If you are weighing 24x30 against 30x40, the extra 480 sq ft usually costs less per foot than the original 720.

Eave heights

10 ft · 12 ft

Eave height costs little at build time and cannot be changed afterwards.

Typical doors

Typically one 18x9 or two 10x8 overhead doors on the 24-foot gable end, plus one 3070 walk door. A single 18-foot opening suits a two-car layout better than two smaller doors.

Slab & foundation

A 4-inch slab with a thickened perimeter is standard at this span. No interior footings are needed — a 24-foot clear span carries on the frame alone.

## 24 x 30 Questions, Answered

 How much does a 24x30 metal building cost in Texas?

A 24x30 shell runs roughly $16,000–$29,000 installed. Turnkey — slab, insulation, electrical rough-in, overhead and walk doors — typically lands between $47,000 and $75,500 depending on eave height, wind rating and finish level.

 Will two vehicles actually fit in a 24x30?

Yes, with room to open doors. Two full-size pickups fit within 24 feet of width, and 30 feet of depth leaves roughly 8 feet behind the vehicles for a bench or storage. If you want a work bay separate from parking, step up to 30x40.

 Do I need a permit for a 24x30 shop?

In most Texas jurisdictions yes, because it exceeds the 200 sq ft threshold that usually triggers permitting. Requirements vary by city and county, and HOA approval may be separate. We handle permitting as part of a turnkey scope.
