1,400 square feet. A slightly wider shop for people who want more room across the bays than a 30-foot span allows, without going to a full 40-foot width.

## What a 35 x 40 Costs in Texas

1,400 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 35 x 40 total

 Shell, installed $ 22 –$ 40 $31,000 – $56,000

 Turnkey shop or garage most common $ 65 –$ 105 $91,000 – $147,000

 Finished commercial $ 85 –$ 155 $119,000 – $217,000

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.

## What People Build at 35 x 40

- Wide two-bay shop with a centre work aisle
- Garage with side storage that does not crowd the vehicles
- Equipment shop where machines need clearance on both sides
- Man cave or she-shed with a divided living area

### Worth thinking about

35 feet is an unusual width, and that is the point — it buys real interior clearance over a 30, while staying below the price step that comes with 40-foot and wider frames. If you have measured your equipment and 30 feet is genuinely tight, this is the efficient answer.

Eave heights

12 ft · 14 ft

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

Typical doors

Two 12x12 overhead doors fit the 35-foot end comfortably with room for a walk door between them — a layout that is tight at 30 feet.

Slab & foundation

4-inch slab standard. The wider span means slightly heavier frame footings, but foundation cost per square foot is essentially flat versus 30-foot widths.

## 35 x 40 Questions, Answered

 How much does a 35x40 metal building cost in Texas?

A 35x40 shell runs roughly $31,000–$56,000 installed. Turnkey typically falls between $91,000 and $147,000 depending on eave height, door configuration and finish level.

 Why choose 35x40 over 30x40?

Five extra feet of width is the difference between two vehicles with a walkway and two vehicles with a genuine work aisle between them. If your use involves moving around equipment rather than just parking it, the width matters more than the length.
