Subject: RE: Foltz or Morton


I understand that Morton builds a real nice building. When I built I wanted a nice building. I priced the exact same building (equivalant materials and specifications) with Morton and a local lumberyard that I knew had a good experienced crew. The Morton bid was a little over 60K, the lmberyard came in at 36.5K. I felt this was a no brainer. As a matter of fact I dont understand where the added value is in a Morton. Yet I do think they are great buildings. However, any builder can sell you a 50 year snow and wind or whatever warrantee. All they do is buy an insurance policy on your building and mark it up and add it into the price of your building. Why dont others do this? Bcause it is cheaper for the customer to purchase the building and insure it on thier current property policy.
I kind of get the idea that in some parts of the country Morton must be the only game in town. Or are there lots of sub par builders that are out there making them look good? I dont know.
