Whom did you speak with? Where you located?
Man- it was a couple diff. folks- I even showed up for an appt. once and then it was a total blow off deal.
I'm in a 130 mph zone, so I need an engineered building. Plus, I'm an engineer, so I'd really like to sit and talk about what would be the best way to get what I want. I know it's not a huge project, but I felt like I was wasting their time.
I don't think I come across as a dick- Chedballz knows me IRL- but I've basically put this off almost a
year beacuse I can't get someone to really sit with me and talk it out.

damn hate to hear that. I work there, but not sales. We have a couple newer guys that are pretty bad.

you can do spot footings containing the anchor bolts depending on the wind load requirement in your area and the soils condition, and pour the slab later
you would want the footings engineered
You can, but the footings will need to be much bigger without the slab and grade beams because of wind uplift.

What about the place in Schriever?

No worries man- It is rumored that y'all make the best out there. That's why I wanted one.

My house already has a shop with an RV pad that I'd like to cover. Since I already have the slab what would I do?
If you have a slab that is not connected to anything, I would assume there is some way they can tie the poles to the slab with anchors or straps.
Dig Holes
Insert Poles
Strap to slab
I'm not an engineer or a pole barn expert... I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

it's because it's a residential job
unfortunate but typical
If your project was commercial or industrial I would have you a firm quote all engineering included turn key installation in two days, with elevations and sections

You don't need to tie the poles to the slab.

Email me gotigersgo88@yahoo.com. I can help with metal or wood frame buildings.

Did you build the entire thing yourself? i just got a quote for a 30x50 number 2 building for 20,000 added 3 windows and a walk thru door as well as insulation. Seems like you got some great deal? what was your roof pitch?

Mallett put the building up. I did the slab afterwards.
My building has no windows and is not insulated.
The only adders I had were an additional rollup door, the premium package, and 12' eave height.
Roof pitch was 4 on 12.
Mine was built in 2008 so prices have probably gone up some.
Here is a picture of the building right after it was put up... before I poured the slab.

Yes the Fiber concrete is a little tough to work with and doesn't come out nearly as pretty but it's supposed to work well with these buildings.

I used Muellers in Orange. They delivered to Lake Charles. I did the steel frame building as opposed to a pole barn. Mitchell Buildings is in Dequincy and I've heard they do good work also. I've heard mixed reviews from Mallett but I think it's gotten better in the last few years.

They did my 40x50. I would NOT recommend them.
Had to call them to fix multiple problems during the build. Then the cement crew did a horrible job.

After reading this I feel like we overpaid
We had a 24x24 shop built by Sweetwater Steel in Texas that included an 8' door and a walk in door with a 4" concrete floor and it cost $10.5k.

That doesn't sound too bad on price with them doing the concrete work.

What kind of problems? I have 30x30 building ordered from Mitchell. Just curious as to what problems you had so I know what to look for.

If that was provided and installed complete (IE turnkey) and the quality of the work was acceptable sounds like a good price to me.

I've got someone building me a pole barn in the next month. 40x60 with front half being a 2BR house. Using scissor trusses to make a loft.
I'll post pics once it gets started. This guy builds pole barns and probably orders the kits from the builder. I'll have a 10' porch down front and half the side.

Price? If you don't mind sharing.
