You may want to give these guys a call. They are Amish, and are coming here the 3rd week of Sept. to construct a 30'X60'X12', 3 sided machinery storage building for me. There will be no OH doors, or entry doors, so that makes the price a lot less, but they gave me a price that was $6,000.00 less, than another local contractor, who is normally less than others. Material cost was about the same, labor was the big difference. The way these guys hustle, I'd imagine it will be up in 3 days, where the other would be a week or so. This same contractor put up a horse barn for one for a buddy of mine in out local horse club, and a lean-to on another buddy's existing barn for their new motor home. Both say they did a very good job.
After getting some shoddy work for the last two buildings put up, I went a little further asking this contractor how he constructed buildings. All his answers were to my liking.
I do know there are some Amish builders out Plain City way, so you might check locally for some names. And, you can usually see new pole barns going up here, and there. Stop in and ask the owner if you can have a look, and ask questions.
Dad had some Amish build him a new 30X40X10 here back in the early 90's. He did put up his own OH doors to save some money. They were here at 7:00 am, and left at 1:00 pm, with the building being done. And stopped 45 minutes for lunch. They did a very good job, and put extra features in, that others didn't. It's still water tight to this day. I would have gotten a price from them, but they have since moved down around Peebles, and just too far away.
Do expect a good builder to be booked up 2 months ahead, as these guys are. That should tell you something right there. how good of work they do.
