We Come to You and Build Alongside You

Erecting a steel building yourself is absolutely achievable, and capable owners do it every year. What makes the difference is having someone experienced standing next to you when the first frame goes up.

That is what our DIY installation consulting is. We travel to your property and work shoulder to shoulder with you and your crew. This is not advice over the phone. We are on site with our hands on the building, showing you how each connection goes together, why the sequence matters, and what to watch for before you move to the next phase. You learn your building while you raise it.

You decide how much we are there. Some owners want us for the first days to get the frames standing and the pattern established, then carry it the rest of the way themselves. Others want us present from the first anchor bolt to the last piece of trim. As an Authorized Worldwide Steel Buildings Dealer and Installer, we know these systems inside and out.

How We Work Alongside You

Because every DIY build is different, our consulting is priced as a set daily rate rather than a one-size-fits-all package. What your rate looks like depends on the details of your project: where you are located and how far we travel, how many of our guys you want on site, the size and complexity of the building, and how many days you want us there. Tell us about your building and where it sits, and we will put together a clear daily rate and a schedule that fits how you want to work.

And if partway through you decide you would rather we take it from here, our full installation crew can step in and finish the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DIY installation consulting?

It is hands-on help on your job site. We come to your property and work side by side with you and your crew as you erect your building. Rather than talking you through it from a distance, we are there with you, showing you how the pieces go together, demonstrating the right way to handle each phase, and working alongside you for as much of the build as you want.

No. Consulting is available whether you purchased your Worldwide Steel Buildings kit through us or somewhere else. Buyers who order through us do have the advantage of the same team being involved from package selection onward, which makes everything more seamless once the build starts.

That is entirely up to you. You are leading the project and supplying the labor, and we work right alongside you. Some owners want us there for the first phases to establish the pattern, then finish on their own. Others want us present for the whole installation. If you reach a point where you would rather hand it over, our crew can take it the rest of the way.

We schedule our time on site around your build. We can be there the first day to get frames standing and show you the sequence, come back at key milestones such as panels and dry-in, or stay through the entire installation. However you want us there, we are working with you on the building, not directing from an office.

Yes. We travel to DIY builders throughout Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. Scheduling depends on your location and how many days you want us on site, so reach out with your project details and we will work out a plan that fits.

Consulting is billed as a set daily rate, not a flat package price, because every DIY build is different. What your rate comes out to depends on a few things: where your project is located and how far we have to travel, how many of our guys you want on site, the size and complexity of your building, and how many days you want us there. Once we know those details, we will give you a clear daily rate up front so there are no surprises. Reach out with your building and location and we will put a number and a schedule together for you.
