| I can see where having you current building in a pile would make you want a building that might have a better reputation for quality. The local yard I work with will never run the bigs out of business. I could give him a plug on here but not many would recognize it and if you drove by his place you might not even think of stopping. Its a one man show with another young guy in the back. He has a couple of excellent crews that are always busy. Its by no means a flashy organization but he can source high quality materials from leading structural engineering companys and due his low overhead his markup is small. I looked at 3 preengineered buildings when I wanted mine. I picked out the features from each that I liked and thats what I asked for and got.
What I found is that it does not cost much to upgrade from what a cheap typical lumberyard building package. For example going from 6x6 post to laminated 6x8's for posts, going from 9' on center to 8' or 4' oc(higher snow load), upgrade to the thicker steel with better paint, bolting and saddling the trusses at the top of the posts rather than having a knee brace board, etc. The local companys can get high quality materials and build to your liking, if you ask for them and are willing to pay a couple thousand dollars more.
Morton is not the only company that can build a high quality buildng.
The building I put up was 23K less. 36.5 total compared to 55K from M plus 5 for the door. I will admit The door I went with was probably a $4000 door and I wish I would have upgraded that, but that was the choice I made. To be honest with you I was worried when I ordered the building that it was too much cheaper. I have had the building up for 2 years and am totally satisfied. When I had the Morton man out I intended on purchasing his building, until I got the other quote for the same building to my specs from the local.
For the record I dont sell buildings and I think the ones with an M on them are real high quality buildings, I have no dought that you purchased an excellent building.
When I bought my building I just couldnt justify the higher price tag, and I tried. If mine falls in I will swollow my pride, let everyone on here know about it and I will use the insurance money and some of the cost savings to build a better building.
