Many pre-engineered metal buildings of all styles, shapes, and sizes for all uses are now being built - from comfort stations to aircraft hangars. They are manufactured by many companies and are usually erected by franchised dealers. The five basic types are: clear span rigid frame, clear span tapered beam frame, single post 2-span frame, double post 3-span frame, triple post 4-span frame.

Metal Buildings by Neil Smit
Tom, age 12, was backing the 4-wheel hay wagon into the dairy barn with a team of horses for the first time. The barn was post and beam. The custom wooden joints between the beams and columns were secured with wooden pegs — no steel. There are very few wooden post and beam barns like this being built today! Today, the leading choice is pre-engineered metal buildings.

Tips on Estimating Metal Building System Costs from RSMeans

If you take outside quotes as an aid to estimating Special Construction, review the scope of work covered in those quotes. It may be that the outside agent has wrongfully assumed that you will provide traditionally supplied items such as excavation or an unloading crane. Check to make sure that it is covered somewhere in your estimate, and that it is not carried by both parties.
