He got two quotes.
Arizona Steel and Redmond
AZ Steel would only sell him the type they "keep in stock" 40x40 and only gave him a TXT message price. It was cheaper, but they never even cam to his house to look at what he wanted. I think it was $119k.
Redmond came to the house, listened to what he wanted and gave him a PAPER quote based on that visit. They talked about how permitting would/wouldn't allow certain things on site, so he knew upfront what to expect thru the entire process. The paper quote had all the contract details and a estimated schedule bldg, site work, permits, etc... $137k
My buddie is a commercial plumber so he knows how it's all supposed to work. He was very surprised that AZ steel just sent a text quote, since they are building so many in the area. He chose Redmond with the higher price but he's getting exactly what he wanted 50x50, doors, location on lot and now they are ahead of schedule.
