Manufacturer-neutral, so you get the fastest delivery
Most metal building dealers sell one brand and pass along that factory's backlog. We aren't tied to any manufacturer. For each project we price the building with the suppliers who can meet your design loads and deliver fastest, then build the foundation around that supplier's anchor-bolt package. You get a competitive price and a schedule that isn't locked to one plant.
Built to Spokane Valley's design criteria
Every PEMB we quote in Spokane Valley is designed to the City's adopted climatic and geographic criteria (SVMC 24.40) (1):
- Ground snow load: 39 psf
- Minimum roof snow load: 30 psf
- Frost depth: 24 inches
- Elevation (Manual J): 2,001 ft
- Winter heating design temperature: 7°F
If an online kit quote doesn't list these loads, you're not comparing like with like. Permits for buildings inside city limits go through the City of Spokane Valley Permit Center, not Spokane County.

Foundation and steel from the same crew
With a PEMB, the manufacturer provides the column reactions and anchor-bolt plan, and the foundation is engineered separately. That handoff is where many projects go wrong. Because we pour the concrete foundation and slab and erect the steel, the people setting your anchor bolts are the same people setting your columns. Learn more about our steel building services.
What does a PEMB cost?
Raven's going rate for an installed pre-engineered metal building in the Spokane area is about $60–$75 per sq ft, not including electrical, plumbing or utility hookups, which are extra. For a 40x60 (2,400 sq ft), that's about $144,000–$180,000 installed, and a 30x40 (1,200 sq ft) runs about $72,000–$90,000. Kit-only prices you see online ($10–$25 per sq ft per HomeGuide) are materials only, before freight, erection and foundation (2). Your actual quote depends on eave height, doors, insulation and site conditions.
Our process
- Site visit. We check access, grade, utilities and setbacks.
- Design and supplier pricing. We spec the building to SVMC loads and price it with multiple manufacturers.
- Permit set. Stamped building drawings, an engineered foundation and a site plan go to the Spokane Valley Permit Center.
- Site prep and foundation. Excavation, compacted base, footings and slab, with anchor bolts set by template.
- Erection. Frames, purlins, girts, sheeting, doors and trim.
- Finish work. Insulation, liner panel, concrete aprons and approaches as needed.
