In today’s steel building market, discerning quality from a sea of copycats is becoming increasingly challenging. As the industry grows ever more saturated with new companies and duplicated content, it’s important to be a savvy buyer and support honest, long-standing businesses that deliver proven results.
The Rise of Copycat Companies
Over the past few years, we’ve witnessed an influx of new entrants into the steel building industry. Many of these companies seem to be duplicating content and undercutting prices—often at the expense of quality and transparency. This trend not only misleads customers but also makes it difficult for genuine, experienced businesses to stand out. When you see content that appears on multiple websites without clear differentiation, it’s a sign to proceed with caution.
What It Means for You as a Buyer
1. Inconsistent Quality:
New companies, eager to grab market share, might offer deals that seem too good to be true. However, these deals can come with hidden compromises in material quality, construction standards, or customer service. Always ask for references and verify credentials.
2. Lack of Transparency:
If a company is simply recycling content or making vague promises without detailed information, it’s a red flag. Genuine businesses, like ours, have a history of transparency—sharing real case studies, customer testimonials, and detailed project breakdowns.
3. Questionable After-Sales Support:
Long-standing businesses understand that the relationship doesn’t end at the sale. We pride ourselves on offering robust after-sales support, including warranties and customer service that new entrants often can’t match.
4. Digital Red Flags:
In the digital age, scammers can create professional-looking social media pages without ever being a verified business. Here are a few tips to spot the red flags:
• Social Media Verification: Check if their social media pages are verified. Be cautious of recently created pages with minimal following.
• Page Creation Date: A very new page might indicate a scam, especially if the business isn’t verified.
• Email Domains: Legitimate businesses typically use email domains that match their websites instead of generic addresses like Gmail or Yahoo.
• Manufacturer Partnerships: Always check what manufacturers they are partnered with. Genuine companies have established relationships with reputable manufacturers. Be wary if they claim in-house manufacturing, as this is often a red flag.
