I have a customer that built a cold storage pole building with Goodon. The one end wall ended up so out of whack that the bi-fold overhead door ended up out of the tracks and he couldn't use it. Took a bunch of back and forth with Goodon and they went from "we'll give you a good deal on your next building" to finally sending a crew to rectify the issue. It's all about who puts it up and whether it's done right.
Another thing to watch out for is a builder will put his poles and trusses every 5’ and use a truss that was designed for every 4’. Some will throw a steel plate in the hole for the pole to sit on rather than pour a concrete plug. Some guys like super cheap and some prefer quality.

Do you know Whether you have the residential or commercial Udrain and what the cost was? Anyone know who handles the stuff in Alberta? Also if anyone has a referral for a reputable builder I’d appreciate it.
Home hardware in Camrose is a dealer. Where are you located in Alberta?

It's crazy how fast. How many men? 6?
Concrete finishing is usually around 75-85 cents a sq ft. You really getting it 1.40 a sq metre? That’s around 12 cents a sq ft
I was going to say wow that's cheap, at that price I don't think you'd like the looks of the floor! Depending on size of pad 75-85 is pretty cheap too.

I don't understand the purpose of that U-drain, if you go with a decent drain you can drive whatever you want over a regular grate without an issue. U-drain just seems like someone trying to re-invent something that already works good, by making something that is a worse solution.

Supposed to be small enough that tools won't fall in and the concrete isn't suppose to chip and Crack around the drain.

What's wrong with just making a grate with small enough holes so tools don't fall in? If you can remove the grate then you can clean it out really easily. I'm interested because I'm actually building a 50 x 80 shop right now and I wasn't sure what kind of drain to put in it
Another thing to watch for with different builders is the truss bracing. The top pic is a competitor building on their website. The bottom is a pic when I’m done bracing. There needs to be continuous diagonal bracing on 20’ centres throughout the building. That’s on the top and bottom chords and a continuous diagonal on every row of truss bracing. If your going with a rigid ceiling with strapped 2x4 and plywood you can eliminate the bottom diagonal. Metal is not considered a rigid product. Without the proper truss bracing your building will get weaker with snow loads. That’s why you see so many farm buildings go down after heavy snowfall.
