That's pretty close to what I pay. I've built a 3000 square foot, and a 5000 square foot.
Had to pay for a geotech engineer, a civil engineer, an architect and a drainage expert due to site problems. And getting electricity to the building was a hassle, had to pay the power company to bring it in a hundred yards and had to pay a neighbor for an easement to put a power pole in their back yard.

Definitely depends on site location. When you say metal building, do you mean the prefab type or do you mean steel frame as opposed to stick frame? what about foundation? I would recommend rsmeans online, you can do a free trial and its what the pros use for estimating figures.

Talking steel building, no pole buildings.
Talked with a reputable manufacturer today in person, pricing was pretty solid in the $20-25 per sq foot range depending on some options. That's the building itself, slab and erection, no interior finishing of course. Additional for grading, electrical, plumbing etc...

The slab strength required for the ancillary equipment will dictate cost. In one of our commercial properties the entire floor is a 10inch slab with reinforcing poured back in 1970 when it was less expensive & it has never shown any cracking & we have heavy equipment & 4 post truck hoists on it. A slab we had poured last year (lower PSI) was over $8.75/sq ft & it was only 6" deep. For my pole barn 60x30 we laid 10inches of stone, let it settle for 18 months, then poured.
