We will be relocating our Heavy Truck repair shop to new location. I would like to build a building that is 100' deep by 150' wide. I need to have 5 pull through bays (100' long) with 12'wide x 16' high doors at each end. One end of the building (25'x100') will be for office space, parts storage, tool storage, lunch room, and locker room. There will be vehicle lifts so need 25' min of headroom inside shop. Shop will need to be insulated.
I'm planning. You want my phone number. Nah. I just want a budgetary quote. Plus I'm sure that there are standard sizes that would cut cost. Yet the form allowed Freeform. I will call when I get closer. Unfortunately this didn't help get my process closer. Sorry to waste your time.

As decided in the product description. The product suitable for me and my family. I like and good experience
I sent my information for a quote on a steel garage. I was called the next day and told that I could get a special deal on one that is a little larger than I wanted. I told them to go ahead and give me a quote on it. I got the quote the next day. It seemed a little high to me though I had not received any others to compare it to. I got the spec requirements from the city. The general steel building was not in spec so I notified them by e-mail. They called me the next day and they said they could make it up to spec for the same price. I told them I was still waiting on another quote. They proceeded to trash the other company and they didn't even know who it was. In my opinion if they have to trash the other company than they don't feel confident about their own building. I don't care to do business with a company like that.

I chose not to do business with this company
I appreciate both Phillip and Sam and their input. They have worked well with me to develop a building. I was very hesitant to even pursue a steel building, and I didnt make it easy for them at first. However after my phone conversations with Phillip and later with Sam and how well they worked with me, I am confident General Steel is a company who wants to provide a good finished product.
Thanks for the drawings. I want you to know that you and your organization have impressed me to no end with your professionalism and complete documentation. What you just sent me is quite impressive and will be of great use in helping me construct the building.
I understand that the delivery of my building will be in a couple of weeks, which is good seeing I'm still working on the foundation.
Thanks for all your help.
Jason & Charlie are the 2 gentleman my husband and I had contact with from General Steel when we ordered our steel building. They were most helpful in all our interactions. We were extremely satisfied with their professionalism. They are certainly excellent representatives of your company.
Really Good experience, the project coordinator Luke has been very helpful, it's nice dealing with someone who seemed truly interested in my project. He made suggestions that allowed me to get the accessory items I wanted and provided pricing to stay within my budget, without high pressure. I am very happy I chose General Steel.
I needed a large shop building big enough to have lift to work on trucks as well as room to store my 5th wheel, I called General Steel and Andy really took care of me. He was very helpful and didn't rush me into the sale, due to living in the foothills of the Colorado mountains I cannot build till spring. By purchasing now, I've allowed myself plenty of time to design the building, prior to getting the concrete poured and putting the building up this spring. Andy and Billy both have been great to work with, I have absolutely no complaints.
Talk about unprofessional. This guy calls, doesn't introduce himself except General Buildings, starts rattling on about stock sizes and such when I finally stopped him and asked for a price on the particular building I requested. He goes on and on about their Fall Sales and Stock buildings without any details I asked for. Why did I waste my time filling out details on line of what I was looking for? He hadn't even taken the time to figure a price and when he threw out some insanely high number and I told him I had other offers for less. He asked who, I told him and he immediately starts trashing those other companies, saying someone will always be cheaper and that one company sold only tubular frame buildings (like carports) and I admit, I got upset. Especially when the only thing he could promote for his company was to tear someone elses's product apart. I used (1) one expletitive when I explained I knew the difference between a carport and a steel building.
If one looked up "Used Car Salesman" in the dictionary, his picture would be there. Just came off very pushy, evaded the direct issue and when confronted with someone elses product, his first response was not to compare his products talking points but to trash and criticize the competitors products. Sorry I hurt his feelings!
We are building a new house and also wanted a shop on the property. I called General Steel and was put in contact with Michael B he was extremely helpful in the sales process and always got back with me in a timely manner. Ron L is assisting with the design layout and has been helpful as well. Unfortunately we ran into a slight delay on our end with the property closing, we are still moving forward although a little slower than we originally anticipated.
Make sure and read the contract and not listen to what the salesperson has to say otherwise you will be misled. If you live outside Florida, you will be charged more so I recommend you go to an in-state builder. They will screw you over so be careful. They have not built anything, so I am not sure how the quality of the build is going to be. If sales and customer service are in an indicator the garage will be trash. You just have to trust me on this one.
Tip for consumers:
Go with another builder

I was searching for a new steel building for my business after my old building caught fire and burned to the ground. I contacted Chase at General Steel and he was very helpful, he answered all of my questions and was able to price the replacement building to fit well within my budget. Engineering is completed and we are getting the order into the delivery schedule soon, everyone at General Steel has been great to work with, I am glad I chose them for this project.
So far everything seems great. I do not have much to compare my experience with, but Bob and Luke have been great! Very exciting as I always wanted 1 of these buildings since I was about 13. 5 stars
Everyone has been helpful so far... have yet to actually take delivery of the building but pretty sure all will be good
I would like to Thank Denny and Billy and the staff of General Steal for all the help they have provided to me in this process.
I will highly recommend General Steal to any of my friends and family.
Thank you again.

Tony kept in touch by phone and email all along the way during the sales process. It was this proactive communication that made the difference, and is why I chose to buy from General Steel over other companies. Luke took over as project manager, and has been very patient with the inevitable engineering delays that cropped up during the civil-engineering phase of the site plan. I have no complaints.
Every time I spoke with Chase, it was "alright lets get this $10k down payment right now" before anything was decided or finalized. I am not interested in working with a rude, condescending sales person who needs a down payment before I can even get a legit price for my building. Talked me out of the custom designs that they have and offer on their website, offered no customization outside of the base building size and tried to get a down payment every time we spoke. I have interest in building a barndominium. I am not going to pay you $10k and lock myself into contract with you before I am able to work with someone to customize my needs. When I finally told him I was looking elsewhere, the tone set in like I just slapped him and he became incredibly defensive and disrespectful. Great warrantees, horrible sales people. It's unfortunate.
I would like to back to shopping again. Fast shopping cory cardigan comfortable boots. As described in the product description the product suitable for me. Like what i expected.
We have been planning on building a new multipurpose building for the church for quite sometime. I spoke with General Steel a year ago and was put in contact with Charlie W. He did an excellent job for us, he was very professional and didn't try to high pressure us into a sale. We are just starting the design phase,however so far I am very pleased with our decision to use General Steel for our project.
We have property in Virginia and also in Southern Colorado, we were looking to add a 5,000 square foot building on the Colorado property. I contacted General Steel and ended up working with Tony M. and Billy B. both have been very responsive to any questions I've had and have been really easy to work with. I am very happy with the service that I have received so far and would recommend them to others.
Chase was great and even gave him his cell number to call him after hours. Great service and very friendly.
I worked with Brian with my initial request about a steel building and he answered all of my many questions with utmost patience whether is was a phone conversation or email inquiry.
I moved forward on my purchase due mostly to the great customer service thus far within the company. I recommend Brian for all of your steel building needs.
Thank you,
James Rumbo
Thank You James, It's nice to hear Brian took good care of you, We appreciate your Business!
Good luck getting the price within a few days, then there is the sale, then the local vs corporate price, B/S on this outfit. They write most of the positive reviews?
