Didn’t want to high jack the other thread, I’ve contacted Mallet and they seemed high in cost, Madigan Steel had a reasonable price but communication hasn’t been great, any other suggestions? Located in the river parish area.

You may be on thin ice if you choose Mallett Buildings. I purchased a building from them in 2020 and it was a cluster from the beginning. The framer missed the elevation 10" to high, core samples on 4" slab they poured revealed thin spots at 2 1/2", replaced the gutters 4 times that are still not correct, and recent Ida damage revealed building was put together with nails instead of screws. Need more evidence just ask.

I posted this in a thread in early September. Steel is sky high right now. 3’ wide R panel sheets are about $5.50/foot. Was probably less than half that when I built. So these numbers won’t be relevant.

Thibodaux- I got one from custom corrugated in Gray, in 2019. Probably not comparable now. But this is my summary. 35’x60’ red iron with 3-20’sections, 2-12’x12’ door openings (ends) and 1-12’x10’ door opening (side) and one walk in door was $19,000. The three wind rated roll up doors came out to near $5000 on top of that, self-installed. Slab was $14,500 for 4” thick 3500psi, 24”D perimeter footing and 2-24”D interior footings. That included all form material, steel and labor, concrete, pump truck, pour and finish. Building erection was $8000. I did all electrical myself including 100amp service from my house, and everything interior in EMT conduit. Also plumbed in Copper myself (didn’t want to risk pex with rodents) a full bath, separate urinal, utility sink and camper hookups. I’m probably $50k or so into it.

Edit: building includes 1/8” thick reflective foam roll insulation on walls and ceiling. Also, that’s fully custom engineered to what I wanted. Not a pre-designed kit. Certified for 144mph wind.

Just curious if you had anymore contact with Mallett Buildings and how that's working out? Lee Mallett also sells his buildings under the company named Best Buy Ind. so buyer beware.
