Shop 60 X 40

The problem you are going to find is in that 40' span. That in itself is not a structural problem, but it has a big effect on pricing. Anytime you start making spans greater than 20', then things start to get more expensive.
I estimate about $35,000 thou for one of those tin covered pole barn building kits. Another $5,000 to have it put up if you chose to not do it yourself. The slab alone will have over $4,000 in mud plus another $1,200+ in labor. I see you're in Bend, so I would recommend both heating and air conditioning. That means lots of good insulation.
Electrical service can be costly. Not the doing it yourself wiring in the building part, but the cost for the wire to the building, and the trenching to get you to the pole for service.
I'm assuming of course you live on the edge of town. No residential neighborhood would let you put up a 2,400 square foot shop. Not the ones in Bend from what I remember anyway.
I'm going to guess for a super simple no frills building that is comfortable to work in no matter the weather, $80,000 at the minimum. That is pretty cheap if you think about it. Of course, I'm a bigger wimp than most, so I like my workspace to be super comfortable.

8 years ago i put up a 28x40 with a 10 ft ceiling on concrete and good electric (110 & 220) for 16k. glad I did it then cuz theres no way I could afford to do it now. I sheeted and insulated my own ceiling with stuff ive aquired over the past few years, looks respectible. Im not going to insulate the sides yet anyways, I would lose too much storage. I got mine in a small town and the neighbor has one right next door about the same size.I dont think we have any special codes here yet.. lolol They take up some serious room...its hotrod heaven on our end of wilson street..

Visit my website at NRGBuildingSolutions.com. We manufacture Structural Insulated Panel Systems (SIPS). Email the plans and specs and I will price out a frame kit. Run the slab, redhead the track, set up the panels, screw them together. R-50 (save about 40% on utilities), Fire Retardant (save about 50% on fire insurance), Mold & Pest resistant, save on labor (two inexperienced people can have your framing done in about 4hrs.). Chases for electrical and plumbing are precut, so unless code requies it, run your romax, you don't need to run conduit (some commercial codes require steel sheated romax), Door and window openings are pre-engineered and are true and square. Erect wood trusses, panel and shingles, spray in Icylene insulation. Slap in the windows and doors. Finish exterior with whatever you want and park your toys inside. You have an airtight envelope. The system isn't cheap but you save so much in labor in erection, installing doors and windows, electrical and plumbing, etc. it certainly makes up for the difference in price.
On the website you can see a short video on us erecting the exterior panel system for a 3400 sq. ft. home, in 2 1/2 hours with 30 inexperienced volunteers, for the TV show, Extreme Home Makeover. Also, a 13,500 sq. ft. home in Las Vegas. Kinda amazing to watch!

I am just getting to the roof of my new shop. It is about the size you mention but a dfferent layout. A total of 2500 sq ft. It appears that I will have $22,000.00 to dry it in. This just inculdes the grading, footing, steel and gravel, a two block wall, framed walls, trusses, and all the decking on the roof and walls. The shingles are also inculded. still lots to be done.

Back in 74' after my first X-wife left me for another......(I know, sounds kinda like a song, don't it...) I had a Pole building built. 30X60, steel siding/roof, 2x12 trusses, 6x6 posts, 1 1/2" fiberglass insulation with vynl backing, Concrete floor troweled smooth.....total cost: $7000.00....
Now it needs a new roof ( galvanized corrigated steel).....Two years ago the bid was $7800.00 just the roof !
Have you looked into those pre made hauled to your site steel buildings? The ones that look like the old quansut huts? Just wondering how they are for price.....I kinda like the looks of em and they should work well in the Redmond/Bend area....You can spray em with foam insulation I understand....

Mine is 36 X 60. It is a pole building with a clear span. After grading, the 6 X 6 treated post were set on 12' centers. The roof girders were on a 3 or 4 - 12 pitch, not steep.
I had the builders put the insulation in the ceiling and I installed on the outside walls.
I had the floor poured with re enforcement wire in the concrete. I wired the building and hung the lights myself. I need to add some more outlets. The outside is metal, sides and roof. I have 3-12' doors and 1 passage door. I think it has 10 ft eves. I would do 12' if I did it again, no problems, but would allow a big truck inside if I needed it. I eventually added a car lift. If you can plan where you might want one, pour the floor a min of 6" thick. My water is inside the building and I have a 12 X 12 office with a 8' ceiling. I have a small window A/C unit, but no heat. It's not too bad here in the South. It has been over 10 years since I finished it, but I paid 10,000 for the building without the floor. Here in Alabama there are a lot of companies advertising these buildings in any stage from just the roof to a complete package. If they are available and you decide to try one, let me know. I will give you some advise on getting a good job.
good luck,

I might be a red neck!
My house is 24'x50' My shop is 30'x60'
I built my shop ,all metal.
I had the concrete work done by someone else.
I bought all the frame work from a metal building being torn down
to make a bigger building. got a good price ,used but good beams
and perlins.
All side and roof sheeting was new. Inslalled a 12'x12' door,no windows.
I bought the large rolls of insulation made for metal buildings.
I wired it myself, to get inspected just had to have one plugin.
Later wired for 3 phase electric , i make my own 3 phase power
a lot of motors and machines are cheaper than single phase.
I did just about all the work myself. Walls are 14' high.
I built it about six years ago and have about 16,000. in it
local builder wonted 42,000 to build it.

My inlaws have one of those US steel quonset hut type buildings.. The quality was good and it set up good. but these things are a PITA to work on.. Framed in the end walls, hung a garage door but to support the end of the tracks you gotta fab hangers and come way off the ceiling, Ditto with lighting.. To me it would be ok for storage but I wouldnt want to work in one..Seen that style builing fail enmasse in heavy snow seasons. slides off the roof and piles up on one side of the building untill its weight pushes the side in.. The winter of 96/97 here showed what buildings were worth the money.many of the older quonset hut type buildings were destroyed..
