My Morton guy has risen from the dead and started talking again. I've been waiting about 6 weeks to get an estimate on our first idea for a building. They're lucky they've got a lock on quality, because communication has been shit. I've gotten him to at least say he'll email me what he's got. Getting him on the phone has been impossible. Text about as useless.

I had the same experience with Morton. We ended up going with a less expensive local guy, but they all seem hard to communicate with!

There's a construction boom going on out here, and I can't figure where all the money is coming from. I thought I made good choices up to this point in my life, but I can't seem to compete. Maybe I'm too uptight when it comes to borrowing money. My next place to try is Northland Buildings.

My guy quotes at building at $4.00 / sq foot. And he will be selling to me for $2.5-3 per sq foot plus materials and site work. Seems pretty reasonable to me.

That seems like great prices per sq foot! The guy I finally decided on (I did a ton of shopping and research) is going to cost me $17/sq foot. That is completely finished though; cement, drill in solid rock, doors, roof insulation, ect. Hell, just cement when I priced doing it myself was dang expensive by the time rebar, forms, and delivery was factored in.
sd - I'm uptight with money too. Tough to spend any and very tough to borrow, especially if it isn't going to make $$$ back for me. Keep shopping, eventually the right one will fall in your lap.

I will be in the $12-13/sq ft range complete with a gravel floor.

Pricing can vary by location and economics. I'm in an Ag area and had one priced when corn was $7 a bushel and the quotes I got were high because farmers were building sheds like crazy.
I think for me the best time to get one built would be when corn prices are very low.

They are both next to East Battle Lake north side. Id love to see them. When we build we want a shouse ruffed out. This will probably happen in a few years.
