Beware of Bison Buildings in Minneapolis Mn

[Sean Marconette]

Chad,

Thank you. The building is going together well, but I am still waiting on my overhead door. It has been very poor customer service, and not getting any better. Our current challenge has been the wind and rain and has slowed the progress.

Both will slow you down. The overhead door wasn't part of the building package?

The fact that they don't seem to be a member of the MBMA(metal building manufacturers association) is scary.

The overhead door was part of the package, I have yet to get a straight answer as to its delivery. The building was manufactured and engineered by steel built corp they are a member of the metal building manufacturers association. Bison is a sister company from what I am finding out.

Sean

Or more likely a broker..........that claims to be a sister company. It's pretty common in the industry

That makes more sense. One more reason I have stopped all communication with Bison. It's too late to go back and start over, but for anyone else in the planning stages of a steel building. Who would you consider as being reputable?

Well I am a little biased, but I recommend Star Buildings. They are owned by NCI group, which owns all of their plants (32 of them), and make all of their own components except insulation. That includes doors, windows, vents, roll up doors, etc. They all have their own brand names, but are owned by NCI. Star only sells through their authorized builder network, which we are one. Star is the preferred metal building of the military, Coca-Cola, UPS and many other fortune 500 companies. However they still offer smaller more economical buildings for landowners, small businesses, etc.
