I'm building a 30x60x12 ft garage/workshop, going with metal... Who
are people here recommending for suppliers. I've asked for quotes from
a number of companies but as always each company says "We are the very
best..."

OK, so who is better? Any I should avoid?

How can we tell you the ones to void if you aren't telling us the companies
that you reviewed?

I'm talking to Rockford, Morton,


and have contacted

Christbilt, American Built Steel, American Outback Buildings,
Presidential Steel Buildings, and American Durobeam Buildings.

Any thoughts on Rockford and Morton? Rockford seems expensive, but
their buildings seem very solid. Biggest problem with Morton is that
they want to do it all, and since I've got people who can assemble and
build (and they are availalbe at cost, so to speak...)

Garco, Butler, Varco Pruden, American, Heritage.........to name a few. The
problem is an experienced builder needs to see the plans & specs on any of
these metal bldgs. to make any judgement calls on what's better or worse.
Some are part heavy while others are completely lacking. Material specs are
generally the biggest factor. IE: better grade material Then again you have
vendors that sell bldgs that are pieced together from different vendors as
opposed to single source suppliers. Your best bet is to ask around of people
that have a bldg you like and go from there. Also look to see if they (bldg.
supplier) have any complaints filed against them with the local BBB.
