Metal for sure, mine is 3000 square feet with 20' ceiling and I need twice as much. Go 16' doors or you will regret it...

Or shop the right place's a 60x90 can be had for around 40k. Not sure why you think trump has done anything to effect that. But people alway's seem to find an excuse.
No metal cost is without a doubt on the rise and it's rising insanely fast, weather Trump did something directly or not it's a fact we can't ignore. The cost on some metal has already doubled
What are you talking about? Who's making excuses? Trump became President and since then the market has gone full steam a head. There is so much demand for steel the the price is going to continue to rise.Or shop the right place's a 60x90 can be had for around 40k.

16' for what the tallest trucks are under 14'
I agree here. For you in the boat world it probably makes a difference but otherwise 14’ is more than most anyone will ever use.

RV with any antennas will need 16. I have to have 16 for boats yes but rv is just as important and when building such a big shop you need to think resale.
I do have to agree with that even though I may come across a heavy equipment such as an excavator.
Im not in a super rush for building my shop, still got plenty of work to clear in my backyard. I've decided a 40x60 may be big enough for my stuff and to work in unless I see the inside of it to get a better idea. I'll be doing it one thing at a time, starting with a concrete slab then work my way up. Who knows, maybe the steel prices will drop, it's always a rollercoaster for steel prices.
fit several rv's in a shop with 14' doors dunno what kind of antennas you putting on your rv
I've rigged a few for customers but they were old Prevost busses converted with full slide outs and every emenity you can squeeze into one. They are pretty neat, you would never know what it was going down the road. Antenna wise KVH, XM weather/audio, wifi booster, etc. They are a challenge to rigg bc of top crowning...
4 inch,red select dirt pad,one main beam across and 1/2 rebar. Thought about 5 but didnt do it. Also i paid for the dirt pad out of pocket so it was not in the 60k.
You will be hard pressed to put a lift in a 4" slab, it will spider crack in no-time.
All of it cracks eventually. Best the thing to do is put expansion joints around the lift.
For the lift, just cut out an appropriate sized square opening in the slab and pour a suitable isolated footing. :thumb:
