How to Purchase Your Building Direct and Save

Some of our customers choose to consult with a local dealer from our robust network, but others opt to buy directly from our corporate office in Littleton, Colorado. Buying steel buildings and metal garages direct is a great way to save money on your project while also receiving help from the most experienced team in the industry. Here’s how it works.

About General Steel

Step 1: Define Your Project

Identify the dimensions (length, width, and height) or square footage of the space you need. If you’re not sure how much space you need or the exact dimensions of your building, get in touch with our team. We can help you design a building based on your budget and intended use.

Step 2: Steel Building Quote

Once you’ve determined the dimensions of your building, General Steel’s procurement team will factor in the current price of steel to determine a price estimate. You will be contacted by one of our project consultants, who will discuss the current price estimate as well as any market conditions that could cause steel prices to change.

Step 3: Place Your Deposit

With just a small deposit, we will dedicate a project coordinator to your project who will guide you from design through completion of construction.

Step 4: Receive Building Details

You will then receive a 3D CAD drawing of your building as well as detailed preliminary drawings. In addition to receiving an initial visualization of your building, you also will receive a packet that provides an itemization of all materials.

Engineer-Stamped Drawings

Next, your building will go through the steps necessary to produce engineer-stamped drawings. This step is necessary for you to move forward with pulling building permits for the construction of your new building.

Step 5: Openings and Estimates

With the help of your project coordinator, you will determine the size and location of all of the openings for doors and windows. You will also select the insulation needed. You will receive cost estimates for each selection, and you may make adjustments based on your budget and design requirements. Nothing is final until your approval.

Accept and Approve

Once these steps are agreed upon, you will sign to approve the building as designed. Your project coordinator will then submit these openings and options along with the building design to engineering to produce the anchor-bolt plans necessary to release the building for fabrication.

Step 6: Release for Fabrication

All plans and shipping documents are sent to you for final approval before the building is released for fabrication. Our team is the most experienced in the industry and will make sure the entire process is performed according to time constraints. This is important because your building must be released for fabrication within the timeframes agreed upon.

Step 7: Schedule Delivery

Work with our team to arrange the delivery of your building. We suggest that ahead of time, you make sure you will have the necessary equipment such as a forklift available to unload the building. It’s also important to to discuss any delivery obstacles like narrow roads you may anticipate with your project coordinator so we can inform the driver.
