Installed from = kit + published installation base. It assumes an install-ready site. Site preparation, tax, and site equipment, crew travel or lodging supplied by MAX are additional where applicable. A site quote applies where no installation base is published.
Compare like-for-like space
Current MAX kit prices range from $5.19 to $12.07 per nominal square foot. That calculation is kit price divided by width × length. It is not the cost of a finished project, and it does not measure usable doorway or sidewall clearance.
A larger building is not automatically cheaper per square foot: the 80′ Industrial Series uses a heavier frame and 900g PVC. Compare capacity, height and construction as well as floor area. Compare the 70′ and 80′ series.
Site preparation belongs in its own quote
Ground conditions, drainage, access, the pad or foundation and the specified anchors affect your site cost. Get a site-specific estimate before adding those costs to the kit. Avoid a single national allowance that assumes every property starts in the same condition.
Read the site preparation guide and review anchoring options.
Installation and delivery
The table shows each published installation base. Confirm the supplied scope, unloading and lifting equipment, access, travel and lodging in the complete quote. If you plan your own assembly, follow the supplied manual and confirm the crew, equipment and safe work plan for that model.
Delivery is included within 888 highway km of the hub supplying your order. Ask MAX to check your exact destination and building before ordering; beyond the included zone, freight is quoted separately. Delivery, pickup and service areas →
Plan for ownership, not just the purchase
Allow for inspections, maintenance, insurance where required and eventual cover replacement. A warranty is not a prediction of service life. Actual wear depends on exposure, tension, maintenance and damage. Use current replacement-cover prices as today's reference, not a guaranteed future price.
Comparing fabric, steel and pole-barn quotes
Request the same size, clearances, foundation, installation scope, delivery, doors and finishes from each supplier. A kit-only offer and a finished-building offer are not comparable totals. Use our quote-comparison checklist or compare building types.
Keep working capital available
Financing is available through First Capital Leasing, with terms shown by the lender from 12–84 months, subject to approval. Ask for an illustration for your selected building that states the amount financed, term, payment schedule, taxes and any end-of-term amount. Your approved offer determines the actual cost.
Tax treatment depends on your business
Discuss classification, business use and the timing of deductions with your accountant. A capital purchase is not automatically an immediate full expense. CRA capital cost allowance guidance.
