I'm trying to find a company that does this type work in Florida. I know you can order metal buildings online but these guys weld them up on site out of heavy I beans.

Red Iron Construction is what that is typically referred to as.

I've always heard them called metal building erectors.

Was just going to post but thats thread is easier.    Red iron they are typically called.  Also heard them referred to as quick steel when they are galvanized. 

Stampie I am just down the road in Ormond, you are welcome to check it out anytime.

Adirondack Soaring built an 80 X 150ft. steel building.  We did the labor like leveling, laying down gravel base and then Monarch Co. came in and assembled the building.  I can get details if you'd like Stampie.

Oy, too many Monarch companies out there.

I ordered through Apex Metal Building Systems which was basically just a broker.   Ferguson Metal Building Solutions was subbed out to do the erection but apparently also sells.  

Apex reviews seem to have slipped recently.  I didnt have any major issues but there was a mix up on shipping, some missing hardware, ultimately had to lower the height of the big roll up due to truss interference but overall it went relatively smoothly.

I think i commonly heard them just referred to as a "steel building". They make sweet house/garage combos out of them.

Morton Buildings, Morton, Illinois?

Thanx Datsun, looking at images from your link, the one we built was a Morton seeing the logo on top.  I got Monarch stuck in my head. 

Though Morton is in Illinois, they came to NY.  Maybe they have reps in north Florida.

Hows the cost compare to a similar sized pole barn?
