Metal building price !!!

[8mpg]

Way to cheap imo.... I would be a little worried.

Ours was 60×40 with 10ft porches front and back and the materials alone was 14-15 k I believe. That was writing the check straight to Mueller.

Mueller makes a great product but they are more expensive. Also, if you get a commercial discount, pricing is much better. My buddy owned a trailer business and had a decent sized commercial account with a steel yard and his pricing on his metal buildings were crazy cheap. I want to say something like $10k for a 6000sqft building.

Yes when I was shopping around for metal building components for my barndo build Mueller was crazy expensive on their structural steel and they wanted a $250 delivery fee on top of it. I went with another steel supplier that was not only considerably cheaper but also delivered twice a week for no additional charge. This was in Victoria.

I have advertised the same building for $20k and I was able to make money doing that. Now my concrete prices have gone up some but I can still do it for around $20k. Now that is for a non engineered building (it is engineered, but to put the stamp on it is another $800) There is no way I could do it for $17,500 unless I was doing it for free. I recomend Mueller to everyone for a few reasons, first one is money. There building might have a slightly higher base price, but they deliver and unload with their forklift. So if you don't have your builder standing there to start work that alone saves about $1,000 in labor and rental costs. Two, they are just a better building. Steel costs the same price per pound to everyone, so if a company is selling a cheaper building, it probably weighs less. Look at your quote and it will have weights on there for shipping. I promise every building quote you get will be lighter than the Mueller building. Lastly, customer service. If Mueller messes up on your building they will bend over backwards to make it right. Up to and including the manager hand delivering missing or broken parts.

For the individual maybe. Mueller can't even think about hanging in the commercial/industrial industry.

I don't think they even try. That is not their market. I am doing a building built by MidWest right now and I sure wish it was a Mueller building. Then I could call my sales rep and ask him *** were they thinking on some of the stuff I am finding on this building!

Lol. I hear ya man. Mueller has niche for sure. Midwest has been around forever. Has Nucor bought them out too?

That was with a builders discount. Family buys alot of metal from them so that's who we use. I refuse to do business with the one other steel place around here.
