My overall experience has been excellent. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Top tier customer service and prompt return service calls answering all our questions in a timely manner. Very simple and easy process love the way they are organized and how quickly your building comes together. Lots of smart options as far as upgrades. From color choices, insulation to sky lights.

I wanted to say thanks to Andy ** for helping me work through the preliminary steps of planning a building that I've been thinking about building for some time. Andy made the process work smoothly and was there when I needed help. We are making progress and it's all because of how this process began. Thanks again Andy!

Collin ** was very thorough in helping us to get this order defined and placed. We had a situation where there were buildings on 2 sides that had to have access left to 2 doors. He helped in solving that problem. He was also timely with all of the correspondence and questions asked of him.

Pricing was easy to get over email and internet. Changes were easily made and pricing was received by email promptly. Information was provided as requested. We had to change several items on the plans. Questions were answered and corrected to include pricing either way.

Working with General Steel has been a pleasant experience. My first contact was with Zach and he showed patience and guidance over multiple weeks as I navigated the permitting process, answering my many questions before handing me over to the project manager and starting the next stage. I would recommend General Steel to others.

Andy was great to work with, and he was very knowledgeable about the buildings and the process.

Updated on 08/13/2025: It is very unprofessional to issue a response after receiving a call from Bruce Graham, and was told that I would receive a follow up call—which never took place as promised. To state that this ministry, Outreach Victory Church did not have the funds to pay for the steel is an insulting lie. Our records indicate EVERY payment issued, and after speaking with the legal team in SC on a conference call with General Steel in 2023, I find the response of this company disconcerting.
While I was not a part of the initial planning committee of this church, when I became the episcopal leader of the said ministry, I conducted a fact-finding investigation that determined that this company handled the ministry in an unscrupulous manner. Then this attempt to respond to my review of this company in a manner to attempt to discredit my findings. One thing is for sure, we have viable evidence—bank records and death certificates do not lie. For a certainty, I will be contacting the Attorney General of Colorado to present all of our evidence. I was really praying that there could have been an amicable resolution.
Original: Our church lost over $93k to General Steel. We were told it was a breach of contract for not receiving a delivery; stated someone called and said the pastor died. Now they say statute of limitations. The pastor just died in April of 2025. The representative, Mark **, gave several conflicting statements and refuse to remedy this when the we conference called him. The refusal of delivery was NOT true because we have land that it could have been delivered to. They constantly asked for monies, which we paid, and they said we breached to contract in 2012, but amazingly they received an ACH document for $3k in 2015. I’ve waiting in hopes that they were going to make restitution to us before contacting the Colorado Attorney General’s office. I am willing to travel to General Steel to pick up our church’s check.
General Steel was very surprised to see these comments, it is not often one would receive a complaint on a project from 24 years ago, written by someone who was never involved with the project. Regardless, we were able to locate the project notes and interviewed an employee who worked with the client on this project. Mr. Edge’s opinion in this review is inaccurate, it simply does not line up with the project notes from this transaction.
Please excuse General Steel for being suspicious, there are no records whatsoever of Mr. Edge ever being involved in this project, until he contacted General Steel in 2023. General Steel has not heard from anyone at Outreach since 2015. Mr. Edge’s claim that they would have accepted delivery claiming that they had land to store the building is simply not accurate. General Steel does not dispute that Outreach had property, our records indicate there have been hundreds of attempts via telephone and in writing trying to get the order into a deliverable schedule. General Steel would have happily delivered the order. General Steel was completely vested in this project and worked with Outreach for over 15 years. The team assigned to this project has invested countless man hours, producing and delivering multiple sets of very expensive and time consuming engineered stamped drawings. General Steel had every incentive to deliver the order as we enter a contract with the factory once the order is placed. Ultimately, the problem was Outreach did not have the funds to pay the balance due. General Steel does not believe Mr. Edge is intentionally trying to mislead anyone; he was simply Never involved with this project to provide an accurate description of events or to knowwhat truly transpired.

Ben and the supporting team have done a great job so far in the process. I am hopeful this will continue through the entire project. I will need to receive the build and ship date, also the foundation plans are needed asap. Please keep me up to date as the other contractors are planning the work schedule.

This company is great. I spoke with Collin in February to get the ball rolling on a 60x60 building I had been wanting for quite some time. Unfortunately, I experienced some life changing events that put things on hold for a while. Three months later, after only sending one email, Collin called me the very next day to pick up right where we left off. The whole team was there to answer any questions and explain the step-by-step process. They were always available and kept me updated throughout each step. I couldn't imagine another company making this process any easier than General Steel has for me. Thanks so much, Guys! Keep up the great work!
Hi Lawrence, thank you for taking the time to share your positive feedback and the story behind your sentiment. Your experience is what we strive for, our goal is to help our customers navigate their projects no matter where they are in the process of building. It's great to hear you found Collin helpful and attentive. Collin is a very valuable member of our team, your project is in very capable hands. Thanks again.
