My parents are in the process. It's all designed and deposit down. No idea when construction starts.

It’s a wood pole barn with metal siding. I wouldn’t call it a metal building.

post frame is (in my opinion) a superior building to PEMB and offers far more design flexibility at lower cost. And if you want a mezzanine, it’s the best way to go

Mallett has been around a long time and has delivered thousands of buildings. If everything else works for you I would not hesitate to contract with them

Do a search. I seem to remember them not having the best reputation around here. I can’t provide a firsthand account, myself.

Their sales team is a joke. Will get you that initial quote and take forever to update it, never answer the phone. I eventually went with a small local guy who put up buildings from community steel. Wasn’t much more money than mallet and nice product

It's a pole barn. Metal sides and roof with all structure being wood. It's pretty solid construction. Standard quote is good pricing. It's when you start adding doors, windows, height, awning, lean too, etc. is when the price starts jumping. They are pre-engineered and built to local wind codes. The one down side is above the eave height on inside, there's not much option/room to plywood that deck to store other items. They did a 40'x80'x16' commercial style structure and it was solid. Upright posts were 8"x8" and the spans across the door bays were big extra heavy duty.

Turn over is most probably the issue with them, have heard LM sucks to work for. Just what I have heard, he monitors all social media and is quick to threaten with his lawyer.
