Is this to have someone build it? You can lower your costs if you watch your local craigslist, facebook market, etc. for materials. We've done several projects that way, acquiring left over new material as well as in good condition used material. We scored enough brand new steel roofing to do our home, brand new windows from a canceled sale, & used sheet metal to build our coop.I just received a quote for a 10x6 chicken coop... $2,023! I know lumber is sky high... no need to tell me that. But here is the crazy part... I'm thinking about paying it. But I honestly feel like a fool paying that much for a CHICKEN COOP! I was fine with $1500... and $1700. But $2k seemed a bit excessive. What do you think? Give me your story.
