What a 60×120 Steel Building Costs in 2026
Titan prices a 60×120 in three tiers, so you buy only the scope you need — an engineered steel kit, a weather-tight shell, or a finished turnkey building. The ranges below apply Titan’s 2026 per-square-foot rates to 7,200 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 | $158,000 – $310,000 | $22 – $43 |
| Building Shell | Kit plus roof and wall cladding, trim, gutters, and framed openings to weather-tight stage | $310,000 – $518,000 | $43 – $72 |
| Turnkey | Kit + foundation + erection + insulation + interior finishes + MEP rough-in + permits | $850,000 – $1,310,000 | $118 – $182 |
What Drives the Cost of a 60×120
On a 7,200 sq ft building the biggest cost swings come from height, doors, insulation, and your region’s loads. The table shows the direction each variable pushes price so you can prioritise your budget.
| Cost Variable | Directional Impact on Price |
|---|---|
| Eave height | Moving from 14 ft to 18–20 ft adds wall steel and cladding across 360 linear ft of perimeter — often needed for hoists, cranes, or a mezzanine. |
| Overhead & drive-through doors | Each large overhead door, plus a second end door for a drive-through, is a fixed line item; a three- to four-door shop adds cost over a single-door layout. |
| Insulation system | Vinyl-backed batt is economical; closed-cell spray foam or insulated metal panels for a heated or conditioned space raise the envelope cost. |
| Snow & wind loads | Northern Ontario, cottage country, and the Prairies carry heavier ground-snow loads that add frame tonnage across the 120 ft roof line. |
| Foundation & floor | A heavy-equipment or truck floor with thickened slabs and service pits costs more than a standard shop slab; soil conditions set the final design. |
| Interior finishes & services | Offices, washrooms, mezzanines, and MEP rough-in move a shell toward turnkey and are the difference between the low and high per-sq-ft figures. |
What a 60×120 Steel Building Is
A 60×120 steel building is a pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) measuring 60 feet wide by 120 feet long — 7,200 square feet of column-free floor. “Pre-engineered” means the primary frame, secondary framing, and connections are designed and fabricated to your site’s exact snow, wind, and seismic loads before anything ships, then bolted together on site. At 60 feet the roof is spanned in a single clear span, so there are no interior columns to work around; the whole footprint is usable for equipment, drive lanes, service bays, and racking. The 120-foot length suits a bay-line layout — a row of service bays, parts storage, and a front office or mezzanine — and doors on both 60-foot end walls enable a straight drive-through. Compared with a pole barn or a fabric building, a steel 60×120 offers a longer service life, lower maintenance, full insulation and code compliance, and a transferable structure most lenders and insurers prefer. It is one of the most common footprints Titan delivers for contractor shops, fleet maintenance, and agricultural storage across Canada. See how it 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 60×120
The 7,200 sq ft clear span makes the 60×120 one of the most adaptable mid-size footprints. Common uses include contractor and trade shops, fleet and truck maintenance garages, welding and fabrication shops, lumber and building-supply storage, light distribution and warehousing, and agricultural equipment and grain storage. Because the structure is fully engineered, a 60×120 can be finished as a heated, insulated commercial building, an agricultural building, or a straightforward storage building — and Titan can tailor doors, eave height, and layout as a custom steel building to match your operation.
Sample 60×120 Builds Titan Delivers
Contractor and trades shop
A general contractor uses a 60×120 as a four-bay shop with a heated service area, a parts mezzanine over the office, and yard-side overhead doors — 7,200 sq ft that keeps crews, trucks, and materials under one clear-span roof. This is a classic light-commercial steel building configuration.
Fleet and truck maintenance with drive-through
With 14-foot-plus overhead doors on both 60-foot end walls, a 60×120 becomes a straight drive-through bay for service trucks, trailers, and RVs — no backing up and no interior columns to work around, so a full tractor-trailer can pull straight through for service.
Agricultural equipment and grain storage
For farm operations, a 60×120 agricultural building stores combines, sprayers, and implements with room to pull equipment straight through, plus a heated shop corner for repairs — engineered to the Prairie and Southern Ontario snow loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 60×120 steel building cost in Canada?
A 60×120 (7,200 sq ft) steel building typically costs about $850,000 to $1.31M CAD turnkey in 2026, which works out to roughly $118 to $182 per square foot. As an engineered kit only it starts around $158,000, and a weather-tight shell runs about $310,000 to $518,000. Your final price depends on regional snow and wind loads, eave height, insulation, and how many doors you add.
How big is a 60×120 steel building?
A 60×120 is 7,200 square feet — 60 feet wide by 120 feet long, or about 669 square metres of usable floor. Because it is clear span, all 7,200 square feet is column-free and available for equipment, drive lanes, racking, or service bays.
Is a 60×120 steel building fully clear-span?
Yes. At 60 feet wide, a 60×120 is engineered as a clear span with no interior columns, so the entire 7,200 square foot floor is open. Clear span is standard at this width and is what makes the 60×120 so flexible for shops, storage, and drive-through layouts.
Can a 60×120 be built as a drive-through shop?
Yes. Overhead doors can be placed on both 60-foot end walls to create a straight drive-through, so trucks, trailers, RVs, or farm equipment can pull in one end and out the other without backing up. The clear-span interior means there are no columns in the drive path.
How many overhead or dock doors fit on a 60×120?
The 120-foot sidewall typically accommodates three to four overhead or dock doors at standard bay spacing, and you can add drive-through doors on the end walls. Exact placement depends on the frame bay layout and door widths, which Titan sets during engineering.
What eave height is best for a 60×120 workshop?
Most 60×120 shops use a 14 to 20 foot eave height. Choose the taller end of that range if you need vehicle hoists, an overhead crane, stacked racking, or a mezzanine. Taller eaves add wall steel and cladding, so height is one of the larger cost levers on this size.
Can a 60×120 have a mezzanine or second-floor office?
Yes. A partial mezzanine over a front office is a common 60×120 layout and adds usable square footage without enlarging the footprint. The mezzanine is engineered into the frame and floor loads from the start, so plan for it early if you want one.
What foundation does a 60×120 need?
A standard slab-on-grade with perimeter footings suits most 60×120 shops and storage buildings. Heavy-equipment, truck, or hoist floors use thickened slabs and, where needed, service pits. Soil conditions and your equipment loads determine the final foundation design.
Is a 60×120 a good size for farm equipment storage?
Yes. The 60×120 is one of the most popular sizes for agricultural equipment because the clear span and optional drive-through let you store and service combines, sprayers, and implements under one roof, engineered to your local Prairie or Ontario snow loads.
Can a 60×120 be insulated and heated for year-round use?
Yes. A 60×120 can be insulated with vinyl-backed batt, spray foam, or insulated metal panels and heated for year-round shop or livestock use. The insulation package is one of the cost variables, and a conditioned envelope costs more than an uninsulated storage building.
What is the lead time for a 60×120 steel building?
Lead time varies with engineering, provincial permitting, and the current Titan production schedule. Because the 60×120 is a common size, it moves efficiently through design and fabrication. Contact Titan for a current timeline for your province and site.
How does a 60×120 compare to a 60×100 or 80×120?
A 60×120 (7,200 sq ft) is 20 percent longer than a 60×100 (6,000 sq ft) at the same 60-foot width, so you gain bay length without more width. An 80×120 (9,600 sq ft) keeps the length but adds 20 feet of width for wider drive aisles or racking. Choose the 60×120 when you need length over width.
