        "text": "Cost per square foot depends heavily on the building's clear-span width, height, wind or snow load ratings, and door openings. A bare-bones, uninsulated shell is significantly less expensive per square foot than a finished building. Costs increase when you add framed openings for large commercial roll-up doors, overhangs, heavier gauge steel, or reflective roof coatings. Site preparation and concrete slab engineering are separate expenses that also vary based on soil conditions and terrain slope.",
