40x80 Steel Building Kit | Price, Specs & Dealer Opportunity | FrameCore

40x80 Red Iron Steel Building Kit
The 40x80 is one of the most requested steel building sizes in the market, commonly used for large workshops,
agricultural equipment storage, small commercial warehouses, auto repair shops with multiple bays, and barndominium
shells with attached shop space. At 3,200 square feet, it delivers a versatile footprint that serves a wide range of
residential, agricultural, and commercial applications. Buyers who have outgrown the 40x60 or who need dedicated zones
within the building for different functions. Farmers who need to store combines and large implements, auto shop owners
who need four or more bays, and commercial buyers who need loading and storage in the same structure are the core
market for this size.

location.

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.

14
Commission per sale:$2,400 to $3,500 depending on the final kit price. On a mid-range 40x80 at $59,000, the dealer
commission is $2,950.
Monthly earning potential:A dealer selling just two 40x80 buildings per month earns approximately $5,900 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 $70,800 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.
