Every price. Every size. No quotes, no callbacks, no surprises.
The Bottom Line: Professional fabric building installation in Canada costs $4,888–$29,888 depending on building size. Max Contractors publishes every price — no quote process, no negotiations. The price you see is the price you pay. We install any brand, any size, and the pricing is based solely on building dimensions.
Our pricing is based on building footprint. The brand doesn't matter — a 40'×80' TMG Industrial costs the same to install as a 40'×80' Gold Mountain or a 40'×80' building purchased at auction.

All prices in Canadian dollars. Includes crew, equipment, and travel within standard service area.
The installation price covers the complete assembly of your fabric building from ground anchors to final tensioning. This includes the installation crew (sized appropriately for your building), all necessary equipment (telehandler or crane for larger buildings), hardware installation and connection torquing, cover installation and tensioning, door system assembly and testing, anchor installation, and a walkthrough with the building owner upon completion.
Site preparation (gravel pad, excavation, grading) is your responsibility and should be completed before our crew arrives. If your building kit is missing components, sourcing replacements is your responsibility — though we can often help identify what's needed and suggest sources. Travel beyond our standard service area may incur additional charges, which we'll quote transparently before booking.
For a 40'×80' building, professional installation costs $11,888. DIY assembly for this size typically requires 3–5 people, 2–4 days, and ideally a rented telehandler ($300–500/day). The raw cost savings of DIY is real — roughly $9,000–10,000 after equipment rental. But the hidden costs are significant: your time, the risk of mistakes that void the warranty, potential injury, and the reality that a first-time assembly always takes longer and produces a less precise result than a crew that's done hundreds.
For buildings under 40' wide, DIY is practical for handy people with help. For 50' and wider, we strongly recommend professional installation — the truss weights and heights make it genuinely dangerous without proper equipment and experience.
$4,888–$29,888 depending on building size. All prices are on our homepage.
For buildings under 40' wide, DIY is practical. For 50'+ wide buildings, professional installation is strongly recommended for safety, warranty protection, and quality.
No. Our listed price covers crew, equipment, and travel within our service area. Site prep is the only separate cost, and you arrange that independently.
Our homepage pricing table shows the all-in installed cost by building size. Nothing is added after. Here's what that number actually covers:
Clear about this upfront:
Every competitor we've researched makes you submit a quote form. Ours are on the homepage. Here's why we can do that when they can't:
Building sizes are standardized. A 40'×80' install takes roughly the same labour regardless of whether it's TMG, Suihe, or MSB — kit differences translate into maybe 10% variance on install time, which we absorb.
Our Alberta footprint is predictable. 85% of our builds are within our free-travel zone. Travel variance doesn't blow up our costs.
We've done enough of these to know. After 500+ builds, we know what each size takes in person-hours, equipment time, and materials. The math doesn't change much.
Quote forms are a competitive moat for opacity. When you don't know the price, you can't compare. We've decided to compete on transparent pricing instead.

Our free zone covers all of Alberta and parts of adjacent BC and Saskatchewan. Beyond that, travel is a published line item on your quote:
For most standard builds, our own equipment covers everything. Occasionally we rent additional equipment and pass through at cost:
No markup. You see the rental receipt.
No. Installation is paid on completion (or per-milestone on larger builds). Your building kit financing is separate and typically available through the manufacturer or third-party lenders.
No. Published prices are pre-GST. Current GST applies based on your province.
Our pricing is fixed by size, not hourly. If weather or site issues extend the build, we absorb the extra time. If the customer changes scope mid-build (adding doors, modifying layout), those changes are quoted separately.
For large builds ($20K+), we structure payment in milestones (30% start, 40% frame complete, 30% completion). Standard builds are paid in full on completion.
None. Same price January as July. We absorb cold-weather install-time variance into our standard rates.
Yes. Once you confirm the build date and size, the price is locked. We don't revise upward for material costs, fuel price changes, or anything else. If our costs go up, that's our problem.
