Metal buildings offer many significant advantages over traditional construction. They are sturdier, more versatile, and more cost-effective when compared to concrete or wood construction.
Pre-engineered metal buildings are ideal for a wide range of projects. They are available in a wide range of design options and sizes, allowing owners to customize steel building kits to meet their exact needs.
Many businesses and individuals choose versatile, sturdy steel buildings for use as manufacturing buildings. This article will explore popular sizes for manufacturing buildings and the cost of these steel structures.
Contact the Titan Steel Structures team to learn more about steel building costs. We are happy to use our decades of experience to help you design and build the ideal metal building for your needs.
Common Metal Building Sizes for Manufacturing
Metal buildings are ideal for manufacturing facilities. Their study framing and clearspan design allow people to utilize more interior square feet in any way they choose. Metal buildings can be customized to support large cranes and equipment and have plenty of open space for even the most complex manufacturing lines.
Some of the most popular metal building sizes for manufacturing include:
- 50×100 (5000 square feet)
- 60×120 (7200 square feet)
- 80×100 (8000 square feet)
- 100×100 (10000 square feet)
- 100×200 (20000 square feet)
While these are popular sizes for manufacturing facilities, businesses and individuals can choose the exact size they need to meet their needs.
Steel buildings can be customized with interior and exterior finishes, doors, windows, HVAC systems, and other features. These features can improve the look and functionality of any metal manufacturing facility.

What Factors Affect the Cost of a Metal Manufacturing Building?
Many factors can impact the cost of a metal manufacturing building. The cost of raw materials, local codes, and other factors can affect how much it costs to build and finish your metal structure.
Here is a closer look at some of the most significant factors affecting the overall cost of a metal manufacturing building.
Steel prices
Several global influences affect the price of the raw materials used to make metal buildings. The price of steel may have significant fluctuations over time. These fluctuations can make it very challenging to determine the precise cost of a metal building. However, the experts at Titan Steel Structures can inform you of current steel prices as you begin to plan your project.

Location
Constructing a metal structure requires a lot of preparation and planning. Manufacturers must consider the climate and environmental conditions when designing and building a steel structure. Steel structures must be outfitted with features that allow them to withstand heavy snow loads, strong winds, extreme temperatures, and other local environmental pressures.
Prefabricated metal building kits offer the highest degree of versatility and strength.
Titan Steel Structures carefully considers local climate conditions and other environmental factors when manufacturing our building kits. These manufacturing changes may impact the total cost of your project, but will allow you to save money, time, and stress related to repairs and maintenance over your building’s lifetime.
Finishes
During the planning stage, you will choose many features that impact the versatility and function of your manufacturing facility. Features like doors, windows, insulation types, HVAC systems, and others allow you to use your building as intended. They also impact the overall cost of building your structure.
Metal buildings have an unobstructed design, providing more usable interior space. This feature means you can customize your building with work areas, storage, offices, and more. Configurations and finishings will all affect the total cost of building your metal manufacturing facility.
Local construction costs
Metal buildings have a simple design, allowing for quick and straightforward construction. However, you will need a crew and equipment to ensure safety and quality at each stage of construction. Zoning laws, permits, and labor costs can contribute to the total cost of building a metal structure.
You must also ensure the land is leveled and graded before beginning construction. You will also likely need a foundation, which is not included in the initial estimate of building a metal structure.
