Complaint Review: General Steel

i specifically communicated my concerns that we were in the preliminary stages of architectural planning and engineering and that I most likely need make adjustments to decrease the size of the building accordingly and everyone i had spoke with told me that price adjustments would be was ensured, especially since there was NOT a final building size determined at this point.

I received calls from their sales manager and other sales people from General steel "insisting" that the price of steel was going to increase and I that i needed to "lock in" the current market price of $10.00 per sf. by sending in a cashiers check of $36,000.

The "original" quote of $129,000 was never modified in their invoice even when the building was REDUCED in size from our initial plan of 130,000 sf to our "final product" of 8000 sf.

we purchased on a manager's special but it was not explained to us (and not specifically written) that if the building does not get delivered in 3 months then the price would go to $159,000. Even so, another $18,000 was added to the bill as a price increase. Our initial order of $129,000 is now $288,000 and they hold our deposits of $61,000.00
