What recent reviews say

Five-star reviews praise Danny, Oliver, and other staff for patient, knowledgeable design help and on-time shipping when projects move forward smoothly. But a smaller cluster of one-star reviews paint a darker picture: customers report months of silence after paying deposits, staff confusion over timelines and contract terms, incorrect plans that stall city permits, and near-complete lack of response to post-delivery damage or unfinished work. One customer reported over a year of delays and a building with misaligned walls and beams.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable staff, especially Danny and Oliver
  • strong early-stage consultation and design help

Common questions

How long does a VOD building usually take to deliver?
Reviews show wide variation. Satisfied customers report on-time delivery as promised. One customer experienced a 4-month delay with no delivery date after 3 weeks of silence; another waited over a year with a building never completed to spec.
Will VOD help with permits and city approvals?
Yes. Multiple reviews praise staff for municipal guidance and working with city planning. One customer said Oliver 'went over and above' with the city, handling multiple rounds of revisions. Plan drawings have caused delays in some cases.
What happens if my building arrives damaged?
One customer reported delivery damage; the company blamed drivers and stopped answering calls and emails, offering no assistance despite the customer paying for the order.

Future Buildings - Prefabricated Steel & Metal Buildings

4.6(720)✓ Google-verified

Most buyers praise the sales team-William Robinson, Kyle, Tom Falcone, David Marshall, Jared Hogan, and others-for taking time to understand needs without upselling. They highlight honest quotes that catch competitor omissions, careful design work (like tying workshop and lean-to together), and solid product quality. One distressed buyer describes being pressured into a non-refundable deposit for a pre-built unit within hours, then met with dismissal and shame when the structure proved unsuitable for their farm; the company allegedly deleted a response and failed to resolve the complaint. The named staff members consistently earn five-star ratings for clarity and low-pressure advice. Buyers report easy DIY assembly, sturdy construction, and colour/size customization. Repeat customers come back to the same rep. The single one-star complaint centers on sales process pressure, poor communication after the sale, and refund refusal-a sharp contrast to the broad pattern of helpful service.
