10,000 sq ft of clear-span steel building — the square footprint Canadian buyers choose for hangars, fabrication shops, and ag complexes.
Get a 100×100 QuoteA 100×100 steel building gives you 10,000 square feet of pre-engineered floor area — typically used for aircraft hangars, large fabrication shops, agricultural equipment complexes, indoor riding arenas with viewing space, and mid-size manufacturing. The 100×100 trades length for extra width — a square footprint that’s especially popular for aircraft hangars (the 100 ft width clears most twin turboprops with door margin), riding arenas, and fabrication shops where a wide layout matters more than a long one.
Below is current 2026 Canadian pricing for the 100×100 across three configurations: kit (steel package only), shell (kit plus erection), and turnkey (foundation through finishes). All ranges are CAD and assume National Building Code of Canada compliance with provincial amendments.

Steel building costs vary across Canada based on transport distance, local snow/wind/seismic loads, foundation requirements, and labour markets. The table below shows directional cost modifiers vs the Canadian average — apply these to the package ranges above to estimate your provincial price.
| Province / Region | Cost Modifier vs Canada Average | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ontario (south) | 0% to +5% | Highest demand, dense competition, generally moderate snow loads (south) |
| Alberta | −3% to +2% | Strong PEMB supply network, moderate snow loads outside the foothills |
| Saskatchewan | −5% to 0% | Lower labour rates, moderate snow loads, good prairie access |
| Manitoba | −3% to +2% | Heavier prairie snow zones, moderate labour cost |
| British Columbia | +8% to +15% | Seismic design, mountain snow loads, higher freight from the rolling mills |
| Quebec | +3% to +8% | Heavier snow loads, RBQ licensing, French-language drawings |
| Nova Scotia & Atlantic | +5% to +12% | Coastal wind loads, higher freight, smaller local supply network |
| Variable | Typical Cost Impact | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Eave height | +$6–$18 / sq ft per extra 4 ft above 14 ft | Taller eaves need heavier primary framing |
| Insulation package | +$6–$16 / sq ft | R-19 to R-30 wall and roof insulation |
| Overhead and dock doors | +$4,140–$12,420 each | Insulated doors with openers and weather seals |
| Crane provisions | +$38–$68 / sq ft | Heavier columns, runway beams, foundations |
| Mezzanine | +$42–$76 / sq ft of mezzanine area | Engineered steel mezzanine with stairs and code-compliant rails |
| Snow/wind/seismic uplift | +5%–15% | Province-specific design loads (especially BC seismic, Maritime wind) |
| Foundation type | +$8.4–$16 / sq ft variance | Slab on grade vs. piers vs. frost-protected — soil-driven |
| Façade finish | +$10.8–$25 / sq ft | Architectural panel, stone wainscoting, glazing packages |
The most common 100×100 configuration is a distribution warehouse with 18 ft eaves, four to six dock doors with levellers, and an insulated envelope (R-25 walls, R-30 roof). Turnkey pricing for this spec typically lands in the mid-to-upper end of the table above. See Steel Warehouse Buildings in Canada for full spec options.
A manufacturing or fabrication 100×100 typically runs 20–24 ft eaves with overhead crane provisions (10–25 ton runway beams), a heavier 8 in. floor slab, and process-equipment door openings. See Steel Manufacturing Buildings.
An ag-spec 100×100 runs uninsulated with 18 ft eaves, large sliding or roll-up doors on the gable ends, and a clear-span layout for combine, sprayer, and tractor storage. Lower per-sq-ft pricing (no insulation, simpler interior). See Agricultural Steel Buildings.

Get a 100×100 QuoteThe thing that sets the 100×100 apart from Titan’s rectangular sizes is its square, 100 ft clear-span footprint. That full-width column-free span is what makes it a favourite for aircraft hangars, crane bays, and equipment buildings where interior obstructions are the enemy. A 100 ft door opening on the gable swallows a regional turboprop or a line of trucks; a top-running bridge crane can traverse the entire width with no mid-span columns to work around.
For warehousing, the square shape trades dock-door frontage for floor flexibility — you get the most usable, reconfigurable open area per dollar of steel, which suits high-pile storage, fabrication, and ag-equipment complexes better than a long, narrow shell. If your operation is dock-intensive (last-mile distribution, cross-dock), a longer sidewall on an 80×120 or 60×100 may serve you better. Use the comparison table above to weigh footprint shape against your real use case.
Yes. A 100 ft clear-span width with 100 ft of depth suits a DC-3, regional turboprops, or several light aircraft, and the square footprint pairs cleanly with a full-width bifold or hydraulic door across the 100 ft gable. Specify a 28 ft+ eave to clear the tail of most regional aircraft. For larger business jets, step up to 120×120 or 150×200.
At 10,000 sq ft a square footprint uses the shortest clear-span frames relative to floor area, which keeps steel tonnage — and price per square foot — efficient, while maximizing turning room for cranes, forklifts, and aircraft. A longer, narrower building like 80×120 is better when your lot is tight on width or you want more dock-door frontage along one sidewall.
Yes. The 100 ft clear span suits a top-running bridge crane covering the full width. Crane-ready 100×100s use heavier columns and runway beams and usually specify a 20–24 ft eave for hook height above your tallest load. Give us the crane capacity (e.g. 5–20 ton) up front so it’s engineered into the primary frames rather than retrofitted later.
Most sit on a reinforced slab-on-grade with thickened perimeter footings and isolated pier footings under each main column. Heavy-floor uses (manufacturing, equipment storage) call for a thicker 8 in.+ slab with rebar; crane columns need deeper piers. Frost depth and soil bearing vary by province, so the foundation is engineered to your local geotechnical report.
The 100 ft sidewall comfortably takes three to four dock doors with levelers plus a grade-level drive-through, or a full-width drive-through on the gable for equipment access. Door placement affects column spacing, so confirm your door schedule before the frames are engineered.
Modestly, yes. Fixed costs — engineering, mobilization, permits, delivery — spread across 10,000 sq ft, so a 100×100 typically runs a few dollars per square foot below an equivalent-spec 60×100. It still falls in the $118–$182/sq ft turnkey band ($1.18M–$1.82M); the bigger per-foot savings appear above 20,000 sq ft.
In 2026 a 100×100 (10,000 sq ft) runs about $214K – $428K as an engineered kit, $428K – $718K as an erected shell, and roughly $1.18M – $1.82M turnkey — about $118 – $182 per square foot depending on package and finish. The kit is the engineered steel package delivered to site, while turnkey adds foundation, erection, insulation, interior finishes, mechanical and electrical rough-in, and permits. Loads and finishes vary, so treat these as planning ranges and request a quote for a firm 100×100 price.
The kit ($214K – $428K) is the engineered steel — primary frames, wall and roof panels, fasteners, trim, anchor bolts, and sealed drawings — delivered to your site. The shell ($428K – $718K) adds erection of the structure but no foundation, finishes, MEP, or permits. Turnkey ($1.18M – $1.82M) is the complete building: foundation, erection, insulation, interior finishes, mechanical and electrical rough-in, and permit coordination. Choose turnkey for a move-in-ready building, or start from the kit or shell if you are supplying your own trades.
A 100×100 can vary by hundreds of thousands of dollars because engineering loads and finish level drive the cost. A low-snow site with a basic shop shell sits near the bottom, while a heavy-snow or seismic site with a tall eave, full insulation, dock and overhead doors, offices, and mechanical fit-out reaches the top of the range. The price of steel when you order, plus regional freight and labour, also moves the number.
Yes. Titan prices every 100×100 to the local snow, wind, and seismic loads, so the same building can swing noticeably by region — the province-by-province table above shows the modifiers versus the national baseline. Southern Ontario sits near baseline, while heavy-snow, seismic, or remote sites carry a premium, and freight from the mills and local labour rates factor in as well. Use the table as a directional guide and request a quote for your exact site.
Only the turnkey package includes the poured foundation and slab. The engineered kit is the steel building alone — you arrange your own foundation from Titan’s stamped anchor-bolt and reaction drawings. The shell covers erection of the structure but still excludes the poured foundation, finishes, MEP, and permits, so confirm scope before comparing it to turnkey. If you want the slab, insulation, and finishes handled under one price, choose turnkey.
Send Titan your location, intended use, eave height, and any door, insulation, or office requirements, and you’ll get a firm 100×100 quote built to your provincial snow, wind, and seismic loads. Because Titan is a Canadian steel building supply and manufacturing partner rather than a generic kit reseller, the price reflects a fully engineered, National Building Code–compliant building rather than a stock catalogue number.
