DO NOT BUY
My sales person with Olympia was the only thing great. They gave me the contractor to use to errect our building over a year ago. We have been repeatedly lied to about getting the building erected. No one local will errect the building because we did not purchase it from them. we have invested over 100,000 and it has laid on the ground for a year. DO NOT PURCHASE A BUILDING unless you have a contract in writing for errection. we would have not purchased the building had we known this was a problem. I have kept every text about using the contractor for our building and the promises made and broken. then when I contact Olympia they tell me it's not their responsibility to errect building. well that is not how it was sold to us.
Response from Olympia BuildingsOct 7, 2026
Thank you for sharing your concerns. We are sorry to hear about the difficulties you have experienced securing erection of your building. However, we do feel it is important to clarify Olympia Steel Buildings’ scope of responsibility. Olympia is a supplier of pre-engineered metal building packages and does not provide or contract for erection services. While a salesperson may provide customers with contact information for independent contractors who have experience erecting metal buildings, those contractors are separate, independent businesses and are not employees, agents, or subcontractors of Olympia Steel Buildings. Providing a contractor’s contact information or recommendation does not constitute an agreement by Olympia to erect the building, nor does it allow us to control an independent contractor’s schedule, availability, performance, or commitments. Any agreement for erection services is made directly between the building owner and the contractor. We understand your frustration, particularly given the length of time your building has remained unerected. However, it would be inaccurate to hold Olympia responsible for services that were not included in your purchase contract and that Olympia was never contracted or compensated to perform.
