Purchase of x-style building

I purchased a 35 X 80 X 18 Steel Structure. Advertising promised that it would be easy to assemble. Not true. Maybe for a smaller building, but, not this size. Good service. Not true as they were hard to get in contact with at times. Plans that would be easy to follow. Not true! It turned out we had the plans for the older inventory and these were not up to date. The blue prints, while stamped by an engineer were hard to follow. This caused a lot of lost time and not to mention money. Also, they claimed that the accessories such as insulation would be reasonable. Not true either! The building is up now, but, labour cost soared making it a much more expensive project than first thought. I think once the insulation (Future Steel's insulation kit price is also very high) is in I will be happy with it, and it appears that I will have a sound building, but, my recommendation to fellow builders and what I will be doing on another project planned for later this year is; build with wood or find another company supplying similar products that are willing to support you with the project with plans that are easy to follow. I think you will have less headaches. If you have to deal with them, be careful and get everything up front in writing.

Approximate cost of services:
$40,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?

Future Steel Buildings built us a steel garage

The buildings made by Future Steel Buildings are excellent, but the service left much to desire. Initially, the product was sold to us by their salesperson at a reduced rate; but by delivery time the salesperson was gone, so Future Building tried to nickel and dime us on the materials, by substituting a lesser quality material than the kind we'd originally ordered. We tried to address the problem with them, but we didn't get results until we cc'd Consumer and Corporate Affairs with our complaint letter.
