Steel prices...Building a 20k sq. ft. building

Wanting to build a new location for our business. Prices obviously are at an all-time high. With hot rolled coil steel starting to drop significantly, when do you think raw material price drops will be felt in the market?

I don't know man. I need steel plate for a big project I'm building. They want almost $600 bucks per sheet of 1/4" and like $1.50/ft of 1 1/4" square tubing (14 ga).
Even a sheet of 10 gauge is like $280 and 14 is $160. I have bunches of tubing and angle iron but sheet metal/plate is ridiculous.

I'm in the industry. We've seen coil steel (metal deck for us) drop in price a bit from its high last year, but steel shapes like wide flange, angle, and HSS have been sitting at their current high for what seems like 3 or 4 months. Not sure if that stuff will come down significantly or at all in the near future.

My company buys bar steel in up to 50 ton increments, and our products are sold by the pound. To maintain the same profit margin we did a year ago, our prices have risen from $1.41/pound to $1.98/pound.
