30×80 Shop + Living Quarters
The Buell shop and living quarters design features a 30×40 shop space and attached 30×40 master suite. As designed, each building can be attached to one another now or later so you can opt to build one space at a time. Steel is the future of home construction due to its well-known strength, but also because it allows homeowners to customize dimensions, placement and features. A 30×80 shop and living quarters plan gives you all of those options plus the ability to customize.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are my options when it comes to finishing the interior of the metal home?
While we offer a rendering to help you visualize what’s possible inside of this metal home, how the interior space is finished is up to you. To assist, we can connect you with one of our local contractors in your area once you decide on a particular home to finalize the interior layout and estimate finishing costs.
Metal Building Contractors
What type of insulation is recommended for steel homes?
Batt insulation is the most economical and common followed by insulated panels. Spray foam is not recommended.
Insulation Options
What materials should I use to create the interior walls?
You frame the interior wall partitions of a metal home the same way as a traditional home. We recommend timber using throughout the interior of the metal home because wood is cost effective and you still gain all of the benefits of a metal building where it counts.
What about a second story?
While we can provide a steel mezzanine for the second floor of your home, we still recommend framing the second floor using a more traditional method to keep costs down.
