Cost vs. Installed Cost

Many times I find people making valuable purchasing decisions based on cost alone with total disregard to installed cost. For example a 40' x 60' x 16' tall building with a wind post may cost around $14,000.00 but a building with a wind bent for lateral bracing may cost $14,750.00. They figure the prices are close therefore go with the cheaper bid. However the additional concrete on the wind post may cost as much as 5-6 times the savings. ALWAYS ASK YOUR METAL BUILDING COMPANY IF THEY ARE USING WIND POSTS IN YOUR METAL BUILDING.
