Thanks for the info.
I read somewhere that cables or similar are buried in the concrete to keep the steel posts/columns from spreading/pancaking? True? I would think proper footers would take care of any spreading/pancaking.

Not all pre-fab mfgs. use a pre-drilled panel--Butler is the only large one that I can think of that does--they also use pre-drilled steel.
Check some other mfg. to see if you can get an erection manual from their websites.

You will want to make sure you use guy wires/cables to rbace the erected steel sections as you go--saw an installer almost collapse (4) bays by not following this advice.
Some mfg. require that you be a certified erector--meaning that you attend training at their facility to become certified.
Nothing all that difficult to build--some just have goofy details that must be followed or the mfg. can void any warranty they provide--yes they will send isnepctors with feeler gauges/mirrirs, etc. to check it was erected properly.
I disgaree with the " slime-ball low-life" comments above. Truly NOT the case.
