Buying a home may be the most significant investment you ever make, but there are many different routes you can take that can lower the price of buying – and owning – a home of your own. If you’re looking to construct a brand-new home from the ground up, you may, like many homebuyers, be seeking out ways to cut costs without sacrificing quality. An increasingly popular method of doing so involves investing in a prefabricated metal home, which merges durability, sustainability and design flexibility at a lower cost than traditional wood, stucco or brick construction.
How much might you expect to pay when designing and erecting a pre-engineered steel residence? While many variables contribute to your metal home’s final price tag, you can get a general idea of what your initial investment might look like by considering two important factors: the size of the home you want and the current market cost of materials. While, of course, the market price of materials is subject to change, having even a general understanding of what it is and where it’s headed should help you create and stick to a realistic budget.
Metacero Metal Buildings’ competitively priced prefabricated steel homes are available with interior wall framing already included, so you can put more of your hard-earned money toward customizations and amenities that will make your metal home uniquely yours. Just how much might you expect to pay per square foot for a Metacero metal residence?
Breaking Down Costs per Square Foot
While the market price of materials and the complexity of your metal home’s design will help determine how much you pay per square foot, the average Metacero Metal Buildings client pays an average of $35 – $45 per square foot for a sheetrock-ready frame of any design. This applies to metal homes in your choice of color with roof and exterior wall sheeting made of 26-gauge galvanized steel.
Let’s say you’re looking to erect a 30’x40’ ranch-style steel home that would give you 1,200 square feet of living space. At an average cost of $35 – $45 for a sheetrock-ready frame, your initial investment will fall somewhere between about $42,000 and $54,000 before factoring in utilities, site prep expenses and interior features and finishes. If you’re looking to build a 40’x60’ steel home, another popular metal home size that would give you 2,400 square feet of residential space, you can expect to pay somewhere between $84,000 and $108,000 for your metal home’s sheetrock-ready frame.
