How much does a commercial steel building cost per square foot?

A shell-only commercial building typically runs $18–$32 per sq ft. Turnkey with slab, permits, and interior build-out generally lands at $60–$120 per sq ft depending on finish level and location.

Are pre-engineered commercial buildings up to code?

Yes. Every Iron Forge commercial building is designed to the current IBC and delivered with drawings sealed by a professional engineer licensed in your state.
