That's nice! Where in NC? The majority of those buildings are fabbed in Rocky Mount, NC. A buddy of mine had one the same size put up, and had it spray foam insulated. It worked out great, so if you can swing it, the spray foam is well worth the money.
 
I'm right outside Rocky mount in Nashville

you have any idea of about how much he paid for spray foam I'm considering it but looks very expensive
 
He never said, but it is more expensive. He built his about 4 years ago, so things have gone up even more since then. The main thing it would help would be to keep it from condensating and dripping from the inside if you heat it in the winter so you can work.
 
Just spray foamed my shop, to give you and idea shop is 42x96x17. I did 4” on ceiling 3” on walls all closed cell. was 46k paid cash so that saved me 3k was to be 49k. Well worth the money would do it again its 100 degrees out side 76 inside. So save money you could bat and flash. 2” spray foam then use batting but the spray foam seals every hole and crevice also makes your shop walls solid. Batting would make your steel flex again costly but well worth it. I framed first for a mezzanine i will be building. Jesse

Then I’m framing outside of spray foam turned my studs so I can sheath it to ceiling then you won’t see foam and I’ll add stained siding to make it like a barn inside. Started to add batting cause it was free.

But as the spay foam I thinks it R value 30 on ceiling and 22 on walls.
 
46k just for the foam. The shop was 117k with windows and garage doors nothing else. I have learned a lot from this process, should have went 1’ taller 18’ to eaves for more head room for mezzanine and i like what you got rolled steel for longevity.
 
wow
I was crying about 24k in building and concrete
but you have a big beautiful shop
thanks for your help

How big is your shop?
 
42’x 96’ x17’ to eaves was supposed to be 50x96 but wife was complaining it’s bigger then the house so I gave a little back. But it’s still bigger then the house ;)

That's a huge building.
I'm probably going with something in the 30x40 area that won't cost me a fortune as I'm used to be debt free and don't want to start over at my age ( 63 ).

Nice. "They are never big enough" (He says, later on, LOL) Just a guess, that is not rated for "snow up here?"
 
ok now that's 1 led in the center of floor on entrance wall
I bought 4 to hang
