** We went through the Grand Junction, CO office** Buyer Beware This Company is very difficult to deal with and made us go over our budget by over $20,000 due to reworks and corrections that our erecting contractor had to make. We ordered our building on 3/19/2025 we the non-written expectation that it would be delivered to our jobsite at the end of May 2025. The building was not delivered until the 3rd week of November 2025. The following is a list of problems we had with this company that I feel other people should be aware of before they work with Great Western Building (GWB): 1. Their engineer failed us on multiple occasions. a. We had agreed to have GWB design our 46 foot X 30 foot building with a full mezzanine and engineer the concrete plans as well. Almost every time we called he told us it would be ready in 2-3 weeks. This happened roughly 5 times. We ended up hiring a different engineering company to design the concrete plans. b. We did not receive the stamped erection plans until 7/31/2025. (2 months after we were expecting the building to be delivered). i. This was due to the lack of communication from their engineer. ii. And we received a corrected copy with the delivery of the building. c. The engineer did not take into account the height of the mezzanine and the height of the doors and windows- which cost us thousands in redesign and materials. 2. The GWB project manager did not know how to read prints. The Door and openings were not engineered correctly and had to reworked by my contractor. 3. By the middle of June 2025, we wanted our deposit back. They said no. We even called a lawyer and talked to him about trying to get our deposit back- it did not work out for us so we waited and hoped. 4. Hardware/ materials issues. The incorrect bolts were sent, anchor washers were incorrect, the purling ends were flared. These cost us thousands in additional labor. GWB's contract is slanted to benefit them only. They will not give you a guaranteed delivery date. My biggest complaint is that GWB's salesmen completely OVER promised and GWB under delivered. read more

GWB Great Western Buildings Horrible company! Beware they will take your down payment and won't refund. Impossible to get ahold of, and when you finally do get a response and think your finally getting somewhere they ghost you again, let the prices of materials raise even higher and so on. This outfit is a joke! It should be against the law to do what they do to customers! They stole my $13,000 down payment and from the looks of the other reviews, I'm one of many! This guys getting rich stealing from folks. That's something to be proud of! Karma is gonna bite you in the $$$ one of these days! UPDATE. 4 years later still trying to collect my money. Also my buddy wanted to buy a building. I told him my story and sent him all the info, said if you can get the building my down payment is yours. GWB talked to him, helped design the building, sent plans. Then when it was time for him to sign the contract. GWB stopped answering his calls and emails. He ended up buying from somewhere else, and GWB still has my $13k down payment. read more

My husband and I had an RV Port made by Great Western Buildings for our Arizona home and we had absolutely no problem with Eric and the quality of the building (of which I would give 5 full stars). However, the problems arose when the Liaison, Rai recommended a builder to erect the RV Port in Arizona. After we signed the separate contract with that company, (SWSB out of Colorado Springs) we discovered it was her husband who owned that company. That review is totally separate (I wish I could give negative stars). During our nightmare with builder problems, Eric stepped in and helped us resolve the issues. We were lied to multiple times by the building erector and liaison to cover their tracks. I'm convinced, if it weren't for Eric, our building would still be laying on the ground. He takes pride in his company and because the recommendation for the building erector came from his rep, I can only give 3 stars. read more

See all

Buyers beware! We waited 3 years 5 months and 1 day for delivery! Worst company ever. No communication once they have your down payment. They will ruin your dreams and laugh in your face when you ask why or how much longer. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. once they have your money, you cannot talk to an engineer. We sent detailed quarter inch drawings of what we wanted waited over a year to get plans. then we waited 2 1/2 years for steel. They will lie to you and tell you they can give you what you want when in fact they cannot. Eric beavers is the worst. read more

Red flag: They wanted me to commit to buying a building from them BEFORE talking with a contractor who would be doing the labor. They refused to provide any name for a contractor. That is a huge problem. No guarantee that there would be a contractor in my area, no way to check on their credentials or reviews, and no way to get a price quote or construction availability from the contractor. The negative reviews on the BBB website without a single response from the company were also a red flag. That's too bad, because I liked their price and construction details, but way too many negatives to move forward. read more

I used GWB to manufacture my 24K SQ FT warehouse in Colorado and was very pleased with the final product. The building showed up on seven flatbeds over two days and we were only missing two panels. GWB confirmed the missing panels and delivered those panels to the site before we needed them in the construction cycle. The warehouse has been in use for six months now and we have had no issues with structure. We have had a couple snows, hail and 80mph winds and there hasn't been any leaks or damage to the building. I would like to thank Michael and Eric for the support during the sales cycle and during the construction cycle. Jay S. read more

This company took a 5,600 deposit from me and when my project canceled due to challenging life event, they had no empathy or interest in working with me to refund my money. I see others here have had the same experience and their eating here reflects a lot of unhappy customers. Geez, it's not that hard to do the right thing by your customers. read more

I built a GWB building in the last 6 weeks. Eric Beavers, the President of the company, was very responsive to my calls for help during the build process. I've never built anything like this so I needed lots of help. He has several videos on YouTube that were also helpful. Everyone that's seen my building has been amazed at it. Very high quality. It actually went together very well. The only reason I had to get help is because I'm a total rookie at this sort of thing. read more

2/28/24 - They called and offered a partial refund. They stated that they would call me in 48 hours for my decision. It is now 10 days later and I haven't heard a word. Once again, they say they are going to do something and then just totally ghost me. I can't stress enough that you should not do business with this company. read more

I would also rate this company with zero stars if possible. We signed our drawings in January of 2022, were told that the building would probably arrive in August 2022 and, if not, that the delivery would take a maximum of 34 weeks. We are now at 70+ weeks later and we still have no guaranteed date of delivery. Our last conversation had promised a July 5th delivery and now we are told that the building wont even start fabrication until the 17th of July. The process has been a nightmare. We have incurred storage costs for a year and now will have to hire a crew to erect the building as we had planned to take off the month of July this summer. Do NOT buy from this company unless you have a lot of time to wait for your product. read more

The worst! Like other reviews below, my husband first started dealing with them about 2 years ago. They keep pushing the date back and saying that he need to "sign a form." He had to prove he's already signed it. Then because of the "error" they put him in touch with the "best project manager, Shon." Crickets. It's been weeks. Super glad the guy below plaster about the attorney in Colorado who helped him. That will be our first call next week if we still have no response. Definitely do NOT do business with this company. Wish we could restart, but we'll need legal help to get our building at this point. They better not short us on material like others stated in reviews. That'll be in litigation as well. read more

Gen puts the great in Great Western. She was very helpful in the process of designing the building. Gen was only one of two reps. that stayed in touch with me until I made a decision. A true pleasure to do business with. read more

I first contacted great Western buildings In late December 2021. An employee who claimed to be a manager of great Western buildings returned My call and we hit it off right away. His name was Jeff Johnson. He quoted me a price and we agreed upon it even though it was a little higher than the competitor I was in contact with. I decided to go with GWB because I like working with Jeff (No longer with GWB). He quoted me that in 6 months time I should have my building and he was going to put me in touch with a wonderful project manager. I talked his project manager and he quoted me the same thing that it would be roughly 6 months But this time he said after signing The engineering plans. He said it would be some time in the September is when I should receive my building. After numerous calls back-and-forth through the months I ended up not being able to Get ahold of the project manager and when I finally called the main office he called me back and told me The building won't be here until November at this time. I was getting frustrated and it was getting into rainy season. November came around and Found out that the project manager is no longer my project manager and I was assigned another project manager. After discussing with this project manager he told me that the. Building won't come until sometime late spring. I contacted his supervisor and they agreed that the building should be in by the end of March. They assigned a girl named Abigail that was supposed to call me every 2 weeks with updates on the building. She did a good job at informing me that nothing's happening until in February when she Let me know that the building should be arriving between April 3rd and April 14th and somebody would get ahold of me on March 30th with an exact date. On March 22nd Abigail left me An email with News that she would no longer be working with great Western buildings on the 24th of March. By then I had another different project manager who I have never talked to yet. I then got an invoice For the final payment of the building which had some added fees of taxes that were supposed to be included in the original signed bill and agreement and also an Added shipping fee because the price of fuel has changed? I do not think this would be my responsibility as my building should have come before the price of fuel changed. And I have a signed agreement with the company at a set price. It came out to be $4000 more than I paid for the building. I have reached out to try to get ahold of Eric, The owner of the company, twice and still have not had a response from him. On May 30th the person that was supposed to call me never did so on March 31st. I called great Western buildings and talked to Jennifer And asked to speak with Eric (The owner of GWB) she says she hasn't seen him yet but she would leave another message for him to get back to me. I Asked Her What's going on with the building and she said there's A Machine down and that the machine won't be fixed until the 14th of April. Meanwhile I've got people on hold and machinery that is on hold And a permit that has expired twice so far. I am not very happy with this company and they're lack of communication skills. I signed the contract in February of 2022. It has been 1 year and 2 months since the signing and yet still no building and no Direct date of arrival. read more

Not a good company. contracted with them and expected a building to be erected in a reasonable amount of time when they informed me they could not deliver the building for approximately 9 months that was after we had been under contract for 5 months. I told them that was not acceptable and terminated the contract. They at this point would not take my calls or answer e mails. The owner refused to talk to me and would not allow me to talk to him. do not do business with this company, they are not up front and cannot be trusted. read more

I am sick and tired of the constant lies. I ordered my barn in March 2022 and paid my deposit in May 2022 with the understanding that my barn would be delivered in the fall. When fall arrived they changed the delivery date to February 2023. When I called in January 2023 to get an exact date I was informed that the new delivery date would be in the mid-to-late summer 2023. This is outrageous. I wish I had never worked with Great Western Building Systems!!!!! I am contacting the BBB and an attorney. read more

Began the process a year ago. Went with this company over others because they said they could deliver Sept 22. Now in March 2023 they are telling .e Sept of 2023 for expected delivery date. Communication with this company has been terrible. Always passed off to a other person too but. No straight answers. I have a large deposit I gave them that was required and what can I do but wait or i will lose it. Totally ruined my schedule..costs me thousands of dollars in interest on a construction loan and extensions. ​ read more

It's been 1 year ago this company took a $29 k deposit and never fulfilled the contract. It's been delay after delay, working with different people and still no building. I don't believe we will ever see the materials. Don't use this company, they have smooth talking employees but thus far no integrity. read more

GWB cannot provide the products in the timeline they provide. We have been waiting for 1 year +++ to get our structure. The project management team needs a revamp because telling your customers, we should be "grateful", just infuriates the situation even more. Sales tells you one thing, then project management back tracks all the confidence we had in obtaining our structure from GWB. GWB is not making refunds for outstanding projects nor making promises on delivery. They are doing nothing to rectify the situation, all we are being told is to be grateful we will receive a structure "soon"ish. We are being pushed to the side like we don't matter, our experience doesn't matter, and our money doesn't matter because they have you on the hook with no refund policy. I would like Eric to contact us ASAP. It seems that when Eric gets involved, the situations improve and I would like to end this project on a better note. read more

We put a deposit down in November 2020 and we still have not received the building. We get dates for delivery and then they cancel them. Do not buy from this company because they will make excuses for their problems and keep your money. No communication. Rarely return messages. read more

Waited almost two years to get my building. waited another two months to get the roll up door for my building. major parts were made incorrectly and had to wait almost a month to get it resolved. although they resolved it the new parts had holes in the wrong places. quality is terrible fabricators should be fired. now my building is 3/4 done and find out they didn't send enough insulation to finish the end walls. subs they used were great but they have been no help and as everyone has said they don't return calls or communicate. it like Eric tells them not to after you become a thorn in their side honestly this place should have a class action filed against them for back charges and stolen money. I've now spent almost 4,000 more of my money on the remaining insulation and equipment rentals because snow is falling and I can't wait on them and risk an 80k project. don't walk run from this place! read more

Great Western was very helpful with our riding arena project! We received our engineered plans in just over a week and our project manager was even able to make a few changes for us in the stable area. I would highly recommend. I'd like to personally thank Tyler, Cassidy and Eric for the great support. Shawn D. read more

bad company, over prices when they see an opportunity too and even when they don't. Will fail to fabricate your building on time, or meet terms of contracts. They won't even give you back your deposit when they have issues on their end and cant uphold their contracts. Very poor business management from not only a supply perspective but also a quality perspective. read more

It's a 4 Star for the follow up after a few issues. I'm happy the building is up and will be reviewing the building again after a few months. read more

This is hands down the worst company I have ever dealt with!!!!! The sales rep convinced me to pay the deposit on a project before I had county approval because they were going to have a price increase. When I asked what would happen if I didn't get the approval he said I would receive a refund minus a small fee for the design work. I thought that sounded very reasonable so we moved forward. Well it turned out the county would not allow me to operate a commercial machine shop on my property so I had to cancel. The people at Great Western flat out refused to return any of the $54,274 deposit!!!!! The sales rep completely changed his story and claimed we never discussed a refund. I got in touch with the GWB manager (Joshua) and he was in no way helpful or sympathetic. All he would say is "We never issue refunds". All they provided was a simple drawing of the building and an estimate that probably took them an hour the create. These people seriously think they can just steal money from hard working small business owners!!!!!! I've hired an attorney and I'm taking legal action against this company. These people have absoltely NO ETHICS and they are THIEVES!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

WARNING! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. We signed up with Great Western to get a 10,000 square foot building. They gave us a timeline for production. When it came time to move forward with engineering they moved the delivery date by 6 months. How can they expect not to ruin a project with that sort of timeline. This project was never sent to production or engineering, only discussions with the salesman(project manager). I put down $62,000 with them. They were not able to get the building to us in time and I had to cancel in order to get new financing in place because of there production schedule. They refuse to give any of the deposit back. They are keeping $62,000 for 10-15 conversations and plans of work!!! NO material was every used. This is an actual scam of a company. If you cant deliver and the customer cancelled before engineering and production why is none of the deposit refunded. They are horrible people who will not return calls and refuse to work with you. I mean really $62,000 they are just going to keep-- at least give me something for my money. I cant believe they are still in business operating this way. Only thing left is to contact a Lawyer to see if they can help. Feeling very taken advantage of and defeated to try and build my dream of a larger facility for my business. Shame on them for taking advantage of small business owners try to grow. read more

We ordered a building from GWB 9/2021 and they kept telling us things were going good. 7/22 we still had nothing to show for it. Now they refuse to give back the deposit we had to pay when we ordered the building. Nothing has been done. I wouldn't recommend using this co. They will not return calls or emails. read more

If I could review with a zero, I would! The contract says max 10 weeks for delivery of our building. After every excuse in the book, the delivery date keeps being moved and it will now be a 6 months, IF it delivers then. Don't recommend. But, they have the $$$, so not a thing you can do. read more

I ordered a building from Great Western Buildings in 2021. With COVID, Supply Chain issues, Steel shortages, Trucking issues, etc., there was a delay in my delivery. The delay was communicated to me and I was kept up to date on the status of my order. When GWB was ready for delivery, they worked with me to deliver at my earliest convenience. The delivery couldn't have gone more smoothly. Once delivered, I inventoried every component, nut, bolt, angle and trim included in the shipping notice. With the exception of one very small piece of trim, everything was delivered and delivered in perfect condition. The one small piece of trim was remanufactured and delivered within a few days of my notifying GWB. From a current customer's perspective, the shipping delay was understandable. In addition, I would absolutely 100% order another building from Great Western Buildings with no hesitation. In the end, they made everything right and went way beyond my expectations with the delivery and care of my building. read more

My name is Steven Johnson from California, the Motherlode. This review is for Barbra Proter who is very professional, smart, and goes over 120% to ask your questions and more importantly honest about your building. She talked to me several times and once on her day off. She stands for customer service and especially for the product she sales. I am trying to locate a transporter for my materials once that is achieved I will purchase her building for a garage. She has people to transport however they are expensive. Best service/price for your wallet. Steven read more

Do NOT use Great Western Buildings. First, if you give them a Deposit, you will NEVER see it again. They will NOT refund it. Second, they don't manufacture ANYTHING and they don't BUILD any buildings - you are responsible for putting the building up. They are just a broker, so they have NO control over getting your building. Third - READ EVERY WORD OF YOUR PURCHASE ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS. When you get a PandaDoc to sign the purchase order for your building, they hide them, but LOOK for the Terms and Conditions. The purchase order is a CONTRACT and once you "sign" it you are agreeing to ALL price increases, you are agreeing that you will take the building whenever they get around to delivering it and that time is NOT of the essence. They quote low prices to get you to give them a deposit and then they delay, raise the price and you will do what ever they want to get your building because they have you by the balls. If you decide you want to terminate the contract with GWB, you will NOT get your deposit back, even if they didn't do any work for you and you could be responsible for 50% of the cost of the building. If you must sue them, you will have to go to Arapahoe County Colorado and you are waiving your rights to a jury trial (see below) - just ask yourself WHY would they NOT want you to have a jury. YOU are responsible for all Permitting and verifying that building codes are met. GWB does not do this for you (read the contract). Just know what you are getting yourself into. All I can say is BUYER BEWARE. Look at their 15 BBB complaints and find other reviews on-line. The Purchase Order Terms and Conditions does not mention the word Deposit. Everything below is taken directly from the GWB Terms and Conditions that you will have to agree to in order to get a building from GWB and who knows where the actual metal parts come from: Section 2: Acceptance of Terms: The Contract is expressly conditioned on Buyer's acceptance of these Terms. The Contract is not binding upon GWB until executed by both Buyer and GWB. GWB expressly objects to any additions, deletions, or differences in the terms or conditions contained in Buyer's quotation, proposal, acknowledgment, or other document, whether or not such additions, deletions or differences materially alter the Contract. Section 3: Price: end of section b: GWB will notify Buyer of any Price adjustment and Buyer agrees to pay any adjusted Price. Section 5: Performance: middle of section a: Delivery dates quoted by GWB are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. GWB will not be liable, nor will GWB be in breach of its obligations to Buyer, for any changed or missed delivery date. Section 6. Modification: GWB may modify its design, process, or materials for Goods, including supplier(s) of such materials, provided that such Goods continue to meet applicable GWB specifications. Section 7: Buyer's Responsibility: Arrange all permitting and permit documents Section 10: Termination: GWB may suspend further performance and deliveries, and will be entitled to cancellation charges for finished Goods and work in progress, which GWB started to reasonably meet the delivery schedule, as well as to any quantity price adjustments reflecting volume pricing quoted for quantities ordered but cancelled due to GWB's default, and all costs, direct and indirect, incurred or committed, plus lost anticipated profits or 50% of the contract price, whichever is greater. Section 14: Miscellaneous: end of section a: THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. read more

BUYER BEWARE! This company has no means to deliver you a building and will do everything in their power to steel your deposit. DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY IN FORM OF CASHIERS CHECK.

Best just not to do business with them. read more

Eric and Nichole WERE good with communication and taking $9,841.80 of our money until I had a problem with being able to follow through with ordering of the buildings due to a situation out of our control. The building fortunately have not been ordered, as we were told not to place the order until everything was approved, it was not approved. Great Western Buildings has $9,841.80 of our money. We called and spoke to Eric on July 11 2019, we had two conversations and have left a few messages with out follow through from Eric as well as with Nichole to resolve our problem. Today is Thursday August 15th and I still can not get a call back for resolution. I will definitely change this review if they will just give us good customer service and respect. read more

I really gotta hand it to everyone at Great Western. I got the best service and the quality of my building was amazing and had a great price too! read more

I entered into a contract with Great Western for a steel building in early March 2021. I was warned that the building might take as long as 5 months to fabricate and deliver. When that delivery window drew near I was told that my delivery had been delayed until November 15. I called GWB on October 15 to verify my delivery was on track only to be told I won't be seeing my building until sometime next year. They apparently did not feel it was important to let me know about the further delay and, had I not called them, I suspect my building erector and I would have been standing clueless on an empty building site on November 15. If things go as GWB now says they will, I will most likely have waited over year for a simple 24x36 building with a dirt floor. Meanwhile, GWB is busy making interest on my deposit money and not fabricating my building. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else for your building. read more
