30x40 Steel Building Kit | Price, Specs & Dealer Opportunity | FrameCore

30x40 Red Iron Steel Building Kit
The 30x40 is one of the most requested steel building sizes in the market, commonly used for two-car garages, small
agricultural storage, contractor workshops, and starter commercial buildings. At 1,200 square feet, it delivers a versatile
footprint that serves a wide range of residential, agricultural, and commercial applications. This is the most popular
residential steel building size in the country. First-time steel building buyers, hobby farmers, and homeowners with
equipment to store make up the bulk of the demand. Contractors also purchase this size for on-site tool and material
storage.
Specifications

location.
Square Footage:1,200 sq ft
Standard Eave Heights:10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 feet. A minimum two-foot clearance is required between the eave

local code requirements.

panels, PBR metal wall panels, all fasteners and sealants, and PE-stamped engineering drawings. Door and window
openings, insulation, and foundation are configured separately based on the project.

requirements, and customization. That translates to approximately $15 to $25 per square foot for the kit package. Final
project costs including foundation, erection, doors, and insulation will be higher and vary by region.

Dealer Profit Breakdown

6
Commission per sale:$900 to $1,500 depending on the final kit price. On a mid-range 30x40 at $24,000, the dealer
commission is $1,200.
Monthly earning potential:A dealer selling just two 30x40 buildings per month earns approximately $2,400 in
commission income — before project management fees, foundation coordination, referral income, or any upsell on
accessories and options.
Annual earning potential:At two buildings per month, that is $28,800 per year in commission on this single building size
alone. Most FrameCore dealers sell across multiple sizes, which means actual annual commission income is significantly
higher.
These numbers are based on kit sales commission only. Dealers who also coordinate erection, foundation, and project
management earn additional income on those services. The building kit commission is the starting point, not the ceiling.
