Kit Buildings Installation
Share the exact model, dimensions, and location. We review the kit and installation scope with you, with published base prices by footprint and separate equipment, travel, and lodging expenses.
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:
- Round / Dome PVC storage buildings — single-curve hoop frame, common in the 20–40 ft width range.
- Double-truss PVC steel storage buildings — the heavier commercial lineup, 40 ft and wider.
- Container shelters — fabric spans stretched between two sea-cans acting as walls. A Kit Buildings specialty and a common ask on oilfield and contractor yards.
- Livestock and agricultural shelters — open-ended calving barns, lean-tos, and run-in shelters for cattle, horses, and grain equipment.
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?
Duration is confirmed for the exact kit and site. Frame configuration, access, weather, parts, and equipment affect the installation schedule.
What if my Kit Buildings kit is missing hardware?
Send the brand, dimensions, nearest town, and preferred timing. We will review the scope, separate expenses, and scheduling with you before confirming a booking.
What's included in our installation?
Base installation covers crew assembly of the frame, cover installation and tensioning, and anchoring to the agreed prepared base. Equipment rentals, travel, and lodging are assessed separately after discussing your project. The kit, site preparation, foundations, and permits are separate.

DIY labour has a cost even when the people already work for your operation. Estimate people, days, hours, and the value of their time using your own assumptions. Add the equipment and other expenses, then compare the same scope with a professional installation quote.

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?
Base installation covers crew assembly of the frame, cover installation and tensioning, and anchoring to the agreed prepared base. Equipment rentals, travel, and lodging are assessed separately after discussing your project. The kit, site preparation, foundations, and permits are separate.
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.
