60x100 Metal Building Cost & Specs
6,000 square feet of column-free space. Distribution, manufacturing and larger commercial facilities where circulation space and clear height matter as much as floor area.
What a 60x100 Costs in Texas
6,000 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 | 60x100 total |
|---|---|---|
| Shell, installed | $22–$40 | $132,000–$240,000 |
| Turnkey shop or garage | $65–$105 | $390,000–$630,000 |
| Finished commercialmost common | $85–$155 | $510,000–$930,000 |
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.

Worth thinking about
At 6,000 sq ft the building is usually the smaller part of the project. Site work, fire protection, a heavier electrical service, dock equipment and parking often approach or exceed the structure cost. An early budget that only prices the building will be badly wrong.
Eave heights
18 ft · 20 ft · 24 ft
Eave height costs little at build time and cannot be changed afterwards.
Typical doors
Multiple 14x16 or larger overhead doors, typically including dock positions. The 60-foot width supports comfortable forklift circulation between racking runs.
Slab & foundation
6-inch minimum at 4,000 psi, often 7–8 inches in dock and traffic areas. Slab design at this size should follow the equipment plan, not the other way round.

A 60x100 shell runs roughly $132,000–$240,000 installed. As a finished commercial facility, expect $510,000–$930,000 depending on office build-out, dock equipment, HVAC and fire protection requirements.
Site work and grading, paving and parking, utility extensions, fire protection if required, dock levellers and seals, exterior lighting, landscaping where code requires it, and permitting and design fees. On a project this size these frequently total as much as the structure.
Yes, and this is a genuine advantage of pre-engineered steel. Extending along the length by bolting on additional bays typically costs 40–50% less per square foot than new construction, and the existing building stays in operation during the work. Tell us at design stage so the end wall is built as an expandable frame.
