METAL WORKSHOP BUILDINGS

Pricing depends on size, ceiling height, door configurations, insulation, three-phase power requirements, and site conditions, which is why we quote every shop individually. A 30x40 hobby shop sits at a very different price point than a 60x100 commercial facility, and factors like your county's snow load also affect the final number. During your free consultation, a building specialist prices your exact configuration, walks you through every line item, and answers every question before you commit. Financing through HFS Financial is available with deposits starting at just $100.

Metal workshop kits give you materials on a truck and nothing else. You handle the concrete slab, the permits, the assembly, and every surprise that comes up along the way. With Vance, you get a completed, ready-to-work shop. The steel, the slab, the permits, the installation, and the walkthrough are all covered by one contract and one accountable team. Most owners who price out both find that turnkey is closer in cost than they expected, and considerably less stressful.

Yes. Shop-with-living-quarters combinations are one of our fastest-growing configurations. Popular sizes range from a compact 40x40 shop with one-bedroom living space to a large 100x100 combining multiple shop bays with a full-size home. Living quarters builds require additional design consideration for residential code, insulation, plumbing, and separate mechanical zones. Your building specialist walks you through the details during your consultation.

It depends on your equipment. For a standard mechanic shop with a two-post lift, 12 to 14ft eave height typically works. For lifts, high-clearance vehicles, or overhead cranes, plan for 16ft or more. For woodworkers and fabricators without lifts, 12ft is often sufficient. During your consultation, we walk through your equipment list, working stance, and future plans to size the height correctly the first time.

We do not install electrical, but we design your shop to accept the wiring, panel placement, and conduit runs your electrician will need. During your consultation, we identify your power requirements (single-phase or three-phase, amperage, panel location) and configure the structure to accommodate them. Your local electrician handles the actual electrical rough-in and hookup.

Everything from compact 24x30 hobby shops to 60x100 or larger commercial facilities. Popular sizes include 30x40 for standard shop use, 40x60 for multi-bay commercial operations, and 50x80 for larger multi-vehicle or fabrication work. Widths up to 100 feet and any length are available.

Insulation is not standard but is one of the most common upgrades we quote. Depending on how you plan to use the shop, options range from basic vapor-barrier packages to fully insulated wall, roof, and door systems for climate control. Your specialist walks you through the options during your consultation based on your climate zone and use case.

Yes. Both are included as standard on every turnkey project. Permit requirements differ by county across our service area, and we handle the application, the stamped structural plans, and the approvals on your behalf. We also pour the concrete slab ourselves, thickness-rated to your equipment loads and site conditions.

Yes. Our crews deliver and install shops throughout all four states with the same turnkey service, including permits, concrete, and installation. Whether your property is near a metro or on remote acreage, we bring the building and the crew to you.
