Total area was 1200sq ft. Could have been a smaller bill but the contractor used more of the larger c purlins in lieu of I-beams.

I had gotten a quote in Oct last year and it was less this year when I actually bought the stuff.

The availability of locations and availability of payment options also helps a lot. I paid in Caroni but materials were dispatched from Arima. I used credit card and Linx but you could also do bank transfer and managers check as well.

Refreshing quotes at the moment and so far Lifetime is the most expensive.

Damus seems to be it but they outsource labor to a few of their "trusted" contractors which is my main concern.

Any reviews?
Who did the installation?

I was curious as to your thoughts on the installation with regards to neatness and fitment

Both on point. I must admit the standing seam threw me off with its narrowness when I first saw it but everything fit well.
Once the workmen good you get a good work.
