Try Johnathan scallan with custom corrugated in Houma. I grew up with him and will bend over backwards for his customers.

He only supplies the metal, you have to get your own contractor.

I used B&J Metal Buildings. Building was from Community Steel in Gonzales. I love it. They communicated well until they got the last payment but it was all good. They made a lot of great suggestions which made the overall product great. I tried to buy from Mallet but the bastards wouldn’t call me back and it was always some different sales person. Glad that didn’t work out. Also entertained cheaper tube steel buildings but they are just thin and cheap once you really look into them.

50x84 red iron from reeds metals will cost me $67k just for materials

Try Mallet buildings near Jennings. It’s a pole barn. Wooden structure and truss’ with metal envelope. Although it’s not total steel, they are under same engineering as it relates to wind, etc.
As an ex employee, no, don’t try mallett buildings. If you want a building like that, go with Southern Style. Most are former employees of Mallett but don’t treat their employees like shite.

Are they engineering the building for you also? How tall are the side walls? That just seems insanely high for a material only quote unless there's concrete involved.
I designed my own building and the footprint is 40X84 with 16' walls and 5:12 pitch roof. That's 40X60 enclosed and a 24' covered parking area. I also have an additional 20X35 guest house attached. The structural steel was right at $10k and the siding/roofing and trim came out to about $12k. $67k sounds like a LOT of extra. The rollup door (20X14) was $7,500, opener was $800 and the man doors were like $300 a piece. I overbuilt my shop at that also. I used 6" purlin at 4' intervals on the walls and ceiling and designed my trusses also. The concrete was around $40k. So if $67 includes concrete then I think you're in the ballpark.

What about using plastic instead of all metal?
Possible I suppose, but not ideal IMO. The sun is hell on plastic which poses an endurance problem and there are structural issues I would assume. Haven't priced out plastic R-Panel before so no clue on the potential savings. Metal R-Panel is about $1.00 a sq ft give or take. And on a 20X40 the total sheet metal package would be between $3000 and $4000. I wouldn't personally cheap out on it to save maybe $1000.

Do you want red iron or post frame? Do you care?

If you want post frame, like Mallett, call Southern Style. Owners name is Corey.

I can't attest to how they treat their employees, but every building I've seen that they put up has been quality. No offense, but if I don't really care how they treat their employees as long as I get a good product. Of no relevance to me, but Lee Mallet did get Will Wade back to BR...

Yes they are engineering it. It’s for a barndominium. 12 foot walls, 4 on 12 roof. doesn't include concrete or labor.

Cool, good luck with convicts in his drug rehab center (that or jail) on your property
