In my humble opinion, you always get what you pay for. It looks like about the cheapest metal building you could buy not meaning any insult. There are all kinds of buildings and all kinds of quality with the price to match. But that still isn't an excuse for poor builds. But since I have looked into all kinds of metal buildings myself I've concluded to spend more on a well-built red iron building.

I am no expert builder , but I have built several barns , carports , etc. for myself in my 63 years. From my experience with special order metal roofing/siding , it looks like the dye that they used when rolling that out into sheets was bad on that one edge . I've bought my metal from a small mom and pop operation the last few times . What I like about this is that they roll it out and cut it to your exact specifications right in front of you while you wait . This way if there are any questions , you or them can ask those questions so there is no confusion as to what you want , or if you notice any issues . I can tell you from experience , whoever rolled those sheets out , knew that there were problems with that edge .

I know I'm a little late to the party however I just discovered your channel. I build steel buildings for a living. You definitely need that bottom truss cord to be 16' and the verticals are mandatory for any kind of "snow load". Also those roof panels aren't enough to stiffen the building. There should be wind bracing running through the bottom truss cords connecting all of them. I'll watch on to see how it turned out. Good luck!

That was the first mistake that caught my eye was those truss braces . They looked to small in depth and in length-run. The chandelier at the point where the brace ends to the wall allows the roof rafter to bounce. Not sure what state your in, but it does not appear this roof will hold a snow load.

@jeffreykbevins7116 2 жыл бұрын

That is the same thing that I was thinking about where does he live, does it come heavy snows there, cause those rafters will buckle under big heavy snows . Even what they did would not have much wind resistance, with no more bracing than the one 6 ft piece at the top and no more rows of metal strips from one end of the building to the other end on top of the rafters. Purlins seem like there called , I can't remember, on a all metal building. It would be like sheeting boards on a wood structure building. Anyway, it's a weak structure the way that they have it, on that side of building.

Pole barns or steel outbuildings seem to be in a class of trouble all to themselves. i am a residential contractor and right now am having a 40x70 pole barn built on my farm. After initial pole placement, the "contracted" framer (who was hired by the barn builder) put the trusses on , and maybe 6 braces in to the ground to hold the structure , then told me they had to finish a job, so they would be back in a week. I told them the building would never stay as-was with such horrid bracing. They left anyway. In a week, the building had racked nearly 4". I told the barn building company that they could either get me a structural engineer letter or tear it down. Yes, only nailed together at that point , but their fix was to push on the gable with a skidsteer. My point is that many of the people that do this work know they will never see you again, and time is money - they want done now. SO, hold your ground and never over-pay for completition. Hold at least 20% of the total until they are 100% done and inspected.

Dude, I am a GC and everything on the building should match up with the plans that you signed off on as part of the contract. Your signature should be on not only the contract but also the plans which make the plan drawings part of the contract. There should also be wet stamped engineering included with the plans that are kept on-site for the inspector to reference. All of the truss designs, screw type and size, spacing, etc. should all match up with the engineering. Anything that varies from that but does not effect the engineering should have a change order signed by you. Otherwise, they should take it down and let you out of the contract.

I would force them to honor the term of the contract, or I would see them in court. What they supplied was not what you have probably paid for already (although I hope that you have not finished paying for that yet). Request a building inspection so that you have a record of that structure failing inspection. You should probably check what gauge metal they used for the poles and trusses, as well as for the roofing and vertical siding as well. Another way that less scrupulous builders can cut corners/costs. I would never accept less material than what I paid for.

I feel your pain, I had a shed built:- the slab had leaves in the finished surface, it was not flat, it was neither smooth or consistently rough. They drilled holes in slab in the wrong spot, they put a rafter set in backwards which collided with the roller door which they had to remove and put back the right way around. They dropped screws all over my yard, the rafters do not line up with the next one in line, the roof screws are not in a straight line. The facia trim is dented as are some of the wall sheets. The wall studs had missing screws at the joints. There were dirty marks on the insulation. The slab boxing blew out in the doorway and was not corrected.

@MikeC19100 2 жыл бұрын

I’m not sure of the costs involved whether this is more or less expensive than something like a Morton Building, or that type of structure, but if I paid for something and got what you got I would have fired them too. The Truss bracing issue is a major concern and would become a disaster with a bunch of snow piled up on it. The 16 foot cross members should be a minimum design requirement and the 6 foot ones installed in those trusses are nothing less than a big joke for that industry. How could they possibly think you wouldn’t notice the difference. The vertical seams don’t look that bad in the video but they probably show up more in person. If I were you I would get some pictures of what they showed you for sale and what you ended up with so if it comes to a legal battle you have that information to back up your very valid concerns on the appearance. I would also wonder how well those seams are sealed with the wavy seams.

@marcreynolds1786 2 жыл бұрын

The owner is completely in the right with his issues. Stand your ground and make them correct all of the concerns. As it was said on here, take pictures of all the errors and keep notes with the pictures. You might also ask a building inspector to stop over and write up a report of the violations. This will help the owner if they refuse to correct and the owner gets into litigation. I know…I’ve been there before. I had a framing company that started on my house and clearly didn’t know what they were doing. They made so many code violations such as cutting a roof truss that I had to fire them. I decided to only pay them the balance of what it took to finish out the house. Basically it took $20,000 to correct all the framing problems and therefore their income on the job was net of the $20,000. Well, they weren’t happy and sued me for it. We got into depositions prior to trial and I pulled out my notes and 144 photos of all the errors. After two hours of deposition, we took a break and the framing company excepted my offer as is. They knew I had all the facts and the photos to back up my side of the story. I wish the owner luck and hope this building works out for him in the long run.

Have a similar sized building built, but they doubled the metal in the framework on the walls and on the roof.

I can home to find the wrong siding on my house. The "Installers" said that's what the contractor gave them. We refused finial payment until what was agreed in the contract was satisfied. It got ugly. They took the siding off one day, unannounced and left. Because each said it was the others fault, we sued them all for the work, to repair what was damaged and the delay. We went with a much better company with better siding. The other company we don't see around anymore. They were restricted from doing any further work in our area as a result of their actions So get a security cam and document!!!.

I built a 50x50 and did a ton of research before deciding to go with an Iron Built unit. These galvanized metal buildings are basically tin cans.

Ah! I totally get it. I am a particular contractor (a top-drawer builder & finisher) and man it is tough finding people who a) know what they are doing b) actually take pride in their work. The worst part of it all is that you trust 'them' to do a qualified job and leave them alone to do it but when you complain or point out the glaring and often stupid errors, those trades somehow blame you for the mistakes made stating you should have said something or why did you not instruct us on how you want it. Another ridiculous thing that happens is those outside the project might even while agreeing the work is shoddy tell you that its your fault for allowing it to happen and that 'you' shouldn't point fingers. $%&# I am still coming to terms with trying to way lower my expectations with trades to 'oh its good enough', now pay me.

Yeah this is the reason why i build my own stuff. Had a friend get a shed kit and half finish it, only for him to ask me to do it for him and the shed was ALL jacked up, nothing was square, every cut that was done was uneven, and it was just a nightmare. I got the courage to tell him that it needed to be taken down and rebuilt from scratch, though he didnt like it, when i showed him ALL of the problems he agreed. So I redid EVERYTHING, from floor to roof. took about a week to complete, and it was perfect. He then told me that he had someone build part of it and then just left which is where i came in. Also if you have a contract AND the building plans (make sure they are in the contract) its grounds for a lawsuit, very easily. THEY broke the contract in which both parties signed, and not only the company but also the builders too.

@kellyinfanger9192 2 жыл бұрын

I pondered what feedback wouldn't be biased - I build a different sort of building. Then I saw another You Tube video of someone proudly insulating an identical building (one with the small cross member on the truss). Here's the deal. The wrinkles on the overlap are probably freight damage, but the visibility of the overlaps even with good edges are typical (that is to say they hide in perfect conditions but there will always be some that show). If the the visibility of that bothers you; buy some other type of siding. As for the sagging trusses and visible gaps; that is what those cheapy framed buildings are like - oops my bias slipped through. Workmanship is a factor, but I guarantee, that crew when home absolutely frustrated, because they were praised by their last 10 customers for virtually the same product. I'm not saying you shouldn't get what you want; but this is mostly a case of getting sucked in by a low price. I'll give you a comparison from the other side of the fence, the perspective of the company. When I worked for a pickup truck camper shell manufacturer; the complaints almost invariably came from the customers that bought the cheapest camper in the catalog. The cheap ones and the deluxe models were built by the same people = virtually the same workmanship.

Thank you for your input and support. I grew up on commercial buildings doing roofing. I’ve been around hundreds of metal buildings. This was the first rippled overlap edge I’d ever seen. Also my step dad manufactures metal building on a larger scale. His first comment from 20’ away was there panel form roller was completely worn out or way out of adjustment. He said those edges would never leave his factory nor his customers would ever take it. Also the trusses that were sold via our contract had 16’ welded lower cross brace per code because it was over a 24’ span. These installed were 8’ span lower welded brace. If I was on the other side your side I’m Assuming I don’t know what I would do honestly, because I wouldn’t flat out lie to my customers about what I’m selling or half ass my work. I would go home knowing I was straight forward, honest and did a whole ass job.

@@ProjectDadLife If you have so much experience around metal buildings then why would you buy a structure from a company that does not even update their website or have any reputable reviews? I'm sorry that you did not receive what was in your contract but it is hard to feel too much sympathy when you bought on a budget and you did not even check that what you received was correct until it was already installed I think this is a classic example of you pay for what you get....With that said I'm wishing you all the best and I feel like you will still get a shop that fits your needs and you find beautiful

Thank you. I was referring to just the finished metal exterior. Overlap edges, closures, screws, straight panels etc. commercial frame structures are completely different than these residential ones. My knowledge is just looking at the exterior sheeting which is pretty much the same between the two. That said I called and spoke with every company around for these residential style buildings. They all use the same specs and offer the same structure. I’m pretty sure they all buy from the same couple factory’s in North Carolina. I acutely don’t personal know anyone that has purchased one either so it was defiantly a shot in the dark. I do think it’s gonna work out for what I need though. Luckily where I’m at there’s no snow load really it’s extremely rare. Thanks for the input
