Metal shed / Shop 20ish x 20ish

What's the general consensus on these metal buildings? Unless I'm mistaken, my research says that all of these sites such as alans factory outlet, Carolina carports, etc., Are just out of town sales fronts that sub out the work to whoever they can find locally. I read the "deposit" is part of the commission the salesmen collects. Seems like one could cut out the middle man, but I'm not having much like finding someone who builds these sheds locally, I'm finding people who do odd jobs who said they're capable of building the shed. While I don't think it's brains surgery, I'd like to find someone who does this work regularly and can bang the work out efficiently. Has anyone gone through this and have any insight? Just trying to avoid a nightmare. This is in the Mandeville area

I built a 12X24 steel shed and the total cost of materials was less than $2,500. 10' side walls with a 5:12 pitch roof. It does have a wood floor. I suggest you bite the bullet and pour concrete.
If you drive around town and see someone building a shop, stop and talk to them. Mueller is big in Texas at least. Their retail kit prices are way excessive. The price you pay for the kit to put it together yourself, you can actually get the building and labor for if you go through the guy doing the work.

Star carports
I’m pretty sure all the metal building companies use this company for their buildings then slap their own signage.

Yeah I've been keeping my eyes peeled for someone building sheds in the neighborhood, just haven't really seen any. Hopefully I come across a crew sooner or later, I figured that would be a good bet
