What would it cost in your neck of the woods?

I am going to have the hangar built for my new (to me) plane. We are in a poor area with good Amish builders. The building is 48X24' with a shed roof. 10' tall opening with a clear span of 36' using a doubled gluelam beam. Pole barn type construction, metal roof and sides. I will install the floor and the sliding stacking doors myself.

What would a simple building like this cost in your area?

    I have lived in enough different states to highly recommend you check with the city, county, and state before any new construction small or large.
    Depending upon where you live GOVERNMENT may want permits, licenses, fees, and collect advance taxes first, plus they may or may not have compliance standards and codes for new construction. In some states it does not matter whether you build on your own property or not. Hoping your area is not as such.

    I know one person who built on his own property without even knowing he had to satisfy egregious micromanaging government and was forced to tear it down.

    I priced out a 30' x 36' pole barn style "garage" with two overhead vehicle doors on the long side and one 14' sliding door in the end. The bid was about $13,500 delivered and built on my level spot. Your super wide opening is going to run the cost up some.

    I live in Meigs County Ohio; anyone and everyone builds what they want when they want. It is one of the major reasons I chose to live here. We got gubmint' it is small, poor and way behind the times, just like we want it.

    One of the guys on our flying field made a T hanger out of three shipping containers, cheap enough and works great.

    Around here the cost of a concrete floor just about matches the cost of a pole barn structure.

    Put up a 30x 40 12' tall stick built on concrete vinyl sided and roofed for 13K 8 yrs ago. Look like prices have gone up.

    Actually, the building cost would depend on the "quality and experience" of the contractor.

    Therein there is a W I D E spread ~ also in the quality of the finished product.

    Suggestion: put it out for bids and required references.

    That looks like Ag CAT with turbine engine. You would not believe how BIG those things are.
