A 120×200 steel building gives you 24,000 sq ft (2,230 m²) of floor in a wide, high-capacity footprint. In 2026, a 120×200 runs roughly $2.83M–$4.37M CAD turnkey ($118–$182/sq ft), or from about $528,000 as an engineered kit. At 120 feet it can be built as a full clear span or as an economical multi-span with a line of interior columns — the choice trades steel cost for a fully open interior — making it a fit for manufacturing plants, regional distribution, and large hangar or arena uses.

What a 120×200 Steel Building Costs in 2026
Titan prices a 120×200 in three tiers, so you buy only the scope you need. The ranges below apply Titan’s 2026 per-square-foot rates to 24,000 sq ft; the same rates drive the comparison figures on the Steel Building Sizes hub.
| Package | What’s Included | Total Range (CAD) | Per Sq Ft |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engineered Kit | Primary frames, purlins, girts, bracing, anchor bolts, fasteners, and NBCC/CSA A660 stamped drawings | $528,000 – $1,032,000 | $22 – $43 |
| Building Shell | Kit plus roof and wall cladding, trim, gutters, and framed openings to weather-tight stage | $1,032,000 – $1,728,000 | $43 – $72 |
| Turnkey | Kit + foundation + erection + insulation + interior finishes + MEP rough-in + permits | $2,832,000 – $4,368,000 | $118 – $182 |
What Drives the Cost of a 120×200
At 120 feet wide, the clear-span versus multi-span decision is the first big cost lever, alongside height, cranes, docks, and regional loads. The table shows the direction each pushes cost.
| Cost Variable | Directional Impact on Price |
|---|---|
| Clear span vs multi-span | A full 120-foot clear span adds frame tonnage; a single interior column line (multi-span) lowers steel cost where columns are acceptable in the layout. |
| Eave height | 18 ft to 30 ft adds wall steel across 640 linear ft of perimeter; crane and high-bay uses sit at the taller end. |
| Dock doors, drive-in doors & cranes | Docks and overhead crane systems are major fixed line items on plant and distribution builds. |
| Insulation system | Conditioned or process-controlled envelopes raise cost over a basic shell. |
| Snow & wind loads | Heavy regional ground-snow and wind loads meaningfully raise tonnage on a 120-foot span. |
| Interior finishes & services | Offices, mezzanines, process rooms, and MEP rough-in move a shell toward turnkey and set the high end of the range. |
What a 120×200 Steel Building Is
A 120×200 steel building is a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) measuring 120 feet wide by 200 feet long — 24,000 square feet of floor. What makes the 120×200 distinct is the width: at 120 feet, Titan can engineer it as a full clear span using deeper frames, or as a more economical multi-span with a single line of interior columns down the middle. A clear span keeps the entire floor open for a hangar, arena, or wide production layout; a multi-span trims steel cost where a column line does not interfere with the operation. “Pre-engineered” means the frame is designed and fabricated to your site’s exact snow, wind, and seismic loads before shipping, then bolted together on site, with stamped, province-specific drawings included. The wide, deep floor plate suits full manufacturing plants, regional distribution, and large recreation or aviation uses. See how the 120×200 sits among neighbouring sizes on the Steel Building Sizes hub.
Province-by-Province Pricing
The per-square-foot ranges above are Canada-wide; where you build shifts the finished cost through snow load, seismic design, labour rates, and freight distance. The modifiers below are directional — your quote reflects your municipality’s actual code requirements.
| Province / Region | Directional Modifier | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario | Baseline | Deep supplier and trade base near the GTA keeps steel logistics and erection crews competitive. |
| Alberta | Near baseline to slightly lower | Strong industrial construction capacity and moderate seismic demand keep costs efficient outside the mountains. |
| Saskatchewan / Manitoba | Slightly higher | Heavy ground snow loads add frame tonnage, and longer freight hauls to remote sites raise delivery cost. |
| British Columbia | Higher | Coastal seismic design and elevated labour rates increase both engineering and erection. |
| Quebec | Slightly higher | High snow loads and provincial code and permitting steps add to the finished cost. |
| Atlantic Canada | Higher | Coastal wind exposure plus freight distance to the Maritimes lift cladding and shipping line items. |
What You Can Build in a 120×200
The 24,000 sq ft footprint makes the 120×200 a true large-format building. Common uses include a full manufacturing plant with parallel production lines and crane runs, a regional distribution centre, an aircraft hangar, and an arena or field house. As a fully engineered industrial building, the clear-span option keeps the whole floor open where the use demands it.
Sample 120×200 Builds Titan Delivers
Manufacturing plant with overhead crane
A 120×200 gives 24,000 sq ft with the width for parallel production lines and crane runs — built clear span, or with a single column line to trim steel — a heavy-duty manufacturing building.
Regional distribution centre
The deep floor plate, with docks along the 200-foot wall, suits higher-throughput regional distribution where trucks stage and load along the length.
Hangar, arena, or field house
The wide clear-span option opens the full floor for an aircraft hangar, an ice or turf surface, or a large recreation arena.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 120×200 steel building cost in Canada?
A 120×200 (24,000 sq ft) steel building typically costs about $2.83M to $4.37M CAD turnkey in 2026, which works out to roughly $118 to $182 per square foot. As an engineered kit only it starts around $528,000. The clear-span versus multi-span choice and any crane systems are the biggest levers within that range.
How big is a 120×200 steel building?
A 120×200 is 24,000 square feet — 120 feet wide by 200 feet long, or about 2,230 square metres. It is one of Titan’s wide large-format footprints, deep enough for parallel production lines or a full arena floor.
Is a 120×200 clear span or multi-span?
Both are available. A 120-foot clear span uses deeper frames and keeps the whole floor open, while a single interior column line (multi-span) lowers steel cost where a column does not interfere with the layout. Titan sizes the frame to your use.
How many dock doors fit on a 120×200?
The 200-foot sidewall typically supports six to eight dock doors at standard spacing, plus drive-in doors as needed. Exact placement depends on the frame bay layout, which Titan sets during engineering.
Can a 120×200 carry an overhead crane?
Yes. The frame can be engineered for one or more overhead bridge cranes for a manufacturing or fabrication plant; specify the crane capacity and coverage early so the columns, runways, and foundations are designed in from the start.
Is a 120×200 suitable for an aircraft hangar?
Yes. The wide clear-span option opens the full 120-foot width for aircraft, and door systems can be engineered for the tail height and wingspan you need. It also suits large arenas and field houses for the same reason.
What eave height suits a 120×200 plant?
Plants and crane buildings commonly specify 24 to 30 feet, while lighter uses run 18 to 24 feet. Taller eaves add wall steel across the large perimeter, so match the height to your cranes, racking, or clearance needs.
What foundation does a 120×200 need?
An engineered slab and footings sized for your equipment, cranes, and forklift or truck loads. Crane columns and heavy machinery need deeper footings, and soil conditions set the final design. Dock pits are detailed where docks are required.
Can a 120×200 be phased or expanded?
Yes. A 120×200 can be engineered so the end wall becomes a future expansion point, letting you extend the length in a later phase without rebuilding the existing structure.
What is the lead time for a 120×200 steel building?
Lead time varies with engineering, provincial permitting, and the current Titan production schedule, and larger frames take longer to fabricate. Contact Titan for a current timeline for your province and site.
Is a 120×200 cheaper per square foot than a 100×200?
Often slightly, because fixed costs spread over 24,000 versus 20,000 square feet, but the wider 120-foot span adds frame tonnage that can offset the saving. Your exact rate depends on clear-span versus multi-span, spec, and region.
How does a 120×200 compare to a 100×200 or 120×240?
A 120×200 (24,000 sq ft) adds 20 feet of width over a 100×200 (20,000 sq ft) for wider bays or crane coverage, while a 120×240 (28,800 sq ft) keeps the width and adds length. Choose by whether you need width, run length, or both.
