40x40 Steel Building Kit | Price, Specs & Dealer Opportunity | FrameCore

40x40 Red Iron Steel Building Kit
The 40x40 is one of the most requested steel building sizes in the market, commonly used for large residential garages,
small commercial shops, equipment storage buildings, and retail spaces. At 1,600 square feet, it delivers a versatile
footprint that serves a wide range of residential, agricultural, and commercial applications. Buyers who want the wider
40-foot clear span for vehicle access or equipment maneuvering but do not need a deep building. Auto enthusiasts, small
fleet operators, and rural property owners are the primary market. The square footprint also appeals to buyers planning
interior partitions for mixed-use layouts.
Specifications
Every FrameCore 40x40 steel building kit is a red iron, bolt-together structure engineered from commercial-grade steel
I-beams. The kit is custom manufactured to meet the wind, snow, and seismic load requirements for your specific job site
location.
Square Footage:1,600 sq ft
Standard Eave Heights:10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20 feet. A minimum two-foot clearance is required between the eave
height and the top of the tallest door.

local code requirements.
Wind and Snow Load Ratings:Every kit is engineered to meet ASCE 7-16 standards for wind, snow, and seismic loads
specific to the building site. PE-stamped engineering drawings included.
What Is Included:Primary steel framing (columns and rafters), secondary framing (purlins and girts), PBR metal roof
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.
Pricing Context
Market pricing for a 40x40 steel building kit ranges from $24,000 to $35,000 depending on location, engineering
requirements, and customization. That translates to approximately $15 to $21 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
FrameCore dealers earn a 5% commission on every building kit sale. Here is what that looks like on a 40x40:
10
Commission per sale:$1,200 to $1,750 depending on the final kit price. On a mid-range 40x40 at $29,500, the dealer
commission is $1,475.
Monthly earning potential:A dealer selling just two 40x40 buildings per month earns approximately $2,950 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 $35,400 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.

The 40x40 appeals to buyers stepping up from the 30-foot width category. The 40-foot clear span accommodates larger
overhead doors and wider equipment, which makes it a natural upsell from 30x40 buyers who realize they need more
interior width.
