Quonset Hut Prices. Quonset huts typically cost anywhere from $10 to $20 per square foot. A basic Quonset hut that is only partially finished costs around $10 per square foot, while a more finished version with insulation, doors and windows will cost more in the range of $11 to $20 per square foot. In most cases, the shell costs $7 to $10 per square foot.
This led them to select a structure that would later become known as a Quonset Hut whose name was derived from the location where they were first manufactured, Quonset Point, Rhode Island. These huts had a semi-circular or cylinder type shape and their basic design was duplicated from the Nissen hut that was developed during WWI by the British primarily for use as barracks.
