BLUF: What’s the sensible way to build a shop in 2021?
I’ve got a spreadsheet from 2019 listing 2x4’s at $2.60 a piece. They’re now $7.49! My estimate went from $13k to $34k for the same size building.
Looking at down-sizing; focusing on a smaller line of products and getting out of the place I’m renting. 1x VMC, 1x Swiss turning center with bar feeder, small packaging bench, an Equator, and someday it’d be nice to have a global CMM of the smaller variety. I’d only need a 20x20, maybe 20x36 building with upstairs storage. Should I go prefab? Steel structure? Stick frame? Hang tight until 2022?
