        "text": "The primary cost drivers for a custom metal garage include overall square footage, building height, steel gauge thickness, and roof pitch style. Site conditions significantly affect the total as well; uneven ground requires extra grading, retaining walls, or deeper concrete footings. Choosing custom overhead doors, high R-value insulation, lean-tos, or interior partition walls will also increase the initial scope. Evaluating your storage needs early helps prevent costly structural change orders later in the process.",
