5000 sq. ft Shop
This video covers our journey of building a 5000 sq. ft. steel building by ourselves. We use it as a workshop, storage and we also enclosed 900 sq. ft. that is climate controlled for a nice workspace for my wife. It has a full bathroom, complete with a shower, toilet and sink to be able to wash up after working for the day.
We unfortunately were in a time crunch so we didn’t take a ton of video but I put together this video using clips of videos and photos of I am hoping it helps someone who may be wondering “Can I build a building myself?” The answer is YES, we did it and I am sure you can too if you have the desire.
I cover the process we went through from finding a building manufacturer, getting the concrete done and the full construction process of erecting the building from start to finish. I didn’t go into detailed instructions on each of the steps in this video because there are tons of other resources out there for that and I’ll be adding some below. I will also be posting a follow up video with the mistakes we made, things we learned, what I would have done different and what tools were the most helpful during the build. This video is meant to just be an overview of what we accomplished so be sure to subscribe and I will be posting follow up videos that are more in-depth of specific areas of the construction process.
Here is a great PDF guide from another building manufacturer that I found to be very helpful. https://www.bucksteel.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Buck-Steel-Metal-Building-Installation-Manual.pdf
