When selecting a metal carport dealer or metal building dealer, you have choices – many choices in fact. But it’s important to remember that the building you are choosing is a major investment, so your purchase deserves thorough research and vetting of the company you select. Your purchase is not like purchasing a car or a dishwasher – so you will have different considerations and questions prior to purchase. The same size carport sold by two different carport dealers can have a vast number of differences; every manufacturer has a specific process and set standards when it comes to everything from materials specs to detailing standards, engineering, and even sales practices. So, what should you look for when making this all-important buying decision?
Metal buildings are generally sold by one of three entities: the manufacturer, the contractor, or the broker. The manufacturer makes and sells the building, while the contractor buys buildings and resells them. The broker works as a type of middle man in the process. Working with each of these entities has its advantages.
Regardless of which you choose to buy from, find out as much as possible about the manufacturer of the building. You need to know not only design loads and building sizes, but also if the manufacturer itself performs the engineering of the building, creates the drawings you may need for permit obtainment, fabricates your building, and delivers it to the site. Some questions to ask your carport or metal building company include:
