Bottom Line

Kit Buildings is a UK-based manufacturer with Canadian warehouse stock, running 610 g/m² fire-retardant PVC on hot-galvanised steel. The kits are sound. The DIY assembly is where customers get stuck. We install every Kit model at the flat-rate price on our homepage — same price whether you bought the kit new, secondhand, or from a Kit Buildings auction lot.

Kit Buildings — International Kit, Local Install

Kit Buildings supplies steel-framed, PVC-clad fabric structures out of warehouses in Canada, the US, the UK, and Germany. Their standard fabric is 610 g/m² PVC, fire-retardant, UV-resistant, and frames are hot-galvanised steel. That puts them in the middle of the pack on fabric weight — lighter than the 750 g commercial kits but heavier than the 450–550 g hobby-grade tarps.

Every Kit ships with assembly instructions, and the manufacturer offers installation "if required." In Western Canada that "if required" wait has been running two to three months through busy season. If you need a crew on a specific date — before haying, before the snow comes, before the equipment auction — that is what we are for.

Which Kit Buildings product lines do you install?

All of them. Kit's catalogue breaks into four main categories and we work on every one:

We also handle reinstalls — if a previous crew tensioned the fabric wrong or the structure needs to move to a new pad, same flat rate applies.

How long does a Kit Buildings install take?

Size-dependent, but for planning: a 30×40 dome typically goes up in one day with our crew. A 50×100 double-truss runs 2–3 days. A container shelter between two sea-cans is usually a one-day job once the cans are positioned. We confirm the schedule before we arrive so your yard is not blocked for a week of guessing.

What if my Kit Buildings kit is missing hardware?

Happens on every brand at some point, Kit included. We do a full parts inventory at the start of every install. Something missing? We source it locally the same day or rig a temporary fix so the frame keeps going up, then swap in the replacement when Kit ships it. Your build does not sit idle waiting on a phone call to the UK.

What's included in our installation?

Full crew, manlifts and rigging equipment, frame assembly with correct torquing, PVC fabric tensioning to manufacturer spec, all doors hung (winch and man doors), and anchoring to your prepared foundation. We finish with a walk-through and a brief on seasonal checks before we leave the site.

Installation covers full crew, frame assembly, fabric tensioning, doors, and anchoring to your prepared foundation. Equipment (manlifts), travel beyond same-day Alberta drives, and crew lodging on multi-day builds are billed through at cost — no markup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Max Contractors install Kit Buildings structures?

Yes. We install every Kit Buildings product line — dome and round PVC shelters, double-truss steel buildings, container shelters, and livestock/agricultural models. Kit Buildings is UK-based but warehouses in Canada, so delivery is reasonable. Our pricing is by footprint, not brand, so the rate on our homepage applies regardless of which Kit model you bought.

How much does professional installation cost for a Kit Buildings structure?

Installation pricing is set by your building size, not the brand or fabric weight. The full table is on our homepage — every size from 20×40 up to 70×200 with no surprise fees. The published price covers crew, frame assembly, fabric tensioning, doors, and anchoring to your prepared foundation. Equipment, travel beyond same-day Alberta drives, and crew lodging on multi-day builds are billed through at cost with no markup.

Kit Buildings advertises their own install crew — why hire you instead?

Kit Buildings offers installation "if required," but availability varies by region and season. In Western Canada we regularly get calls from customers who were quoted a three-month wait by the manufacturer. We show up on your date. Same kit, same spec, faster.

What should I have ready before my Kit Buildings install?

A level site with proper drainage (compacted gravel pad is standard), every crate unpacked and inventoried, and clear access for the crew and a manlift. We do a parts check with you at the start of the day so anything missing gets flagged before we are mid-assembly — not at 4 PM when the store is closed.

Can you install a Kit Buildings container shelter on existing sea-cans?

Yes. Container shelters (the ones that span between two sea-cans as walls) are a Kit Buildings specialty and a common call for us. Main thing: the sea-cans need to be close enough to the correct distance apart and reasonably level. We do a site check before we load the truck so the first day is not a measuring exercise.

Do you install secondhand or auction-bought Kit Buildings kits?

Yes. Send us photos of the crate, any labels, and the rough dimensions. We have opened enough unlabelled kits to identify a Kit Buildings frame once the parts are on the ground. Install pricing stays the same — it is based on footprint, not on whether the kit is new.
