Steve built us a 40x60 shop in Nelson. Right from the start to the end of the project, his approach was professional, transparent, timely, knowledgeable, and right on budget with no surprises. I would definitely work with MSC again and recommend them to others.

 of  reviewing Metal Structure Concepts Troy Clark,

Steve and his crew did an amazing job from start to finish with my mini storage building. As a first-time storage business owner Steve went above and beyond to help me get the right product and outline everything I would need to do to be a success. I would highly recommend MSC Steel for any of your steel building needs.

Elizabeth Marion,

We are so glad to have had the opportunity to team up with MSC’s expertise on this warehouse expansion project. We’ve witnessed their quality of work in the past, so reaching out to them was a no-brainer. MSC served as an incredible asset to have integrated as part of the project. From initial design right through to completion, they delivered on every promise and every milestone. They approached every situation with professionalism, proactiveness, and creativity. We would definitely recommend MSC to others and eagerly look forward to collaborating with them again!

We, like most people, went through the process of getting quotes from a few builders. MSC was in the middle with their quote. My philosophy has always been to get three prices. Throw out the low and high bids and go with the guys in the middle. Chances are in your favor that your middle guys have accounted for everything, and your build will go as planned and on budget. Our overall experience was excellent. The build went on schedule with no delays. MSC was very helpful with connecting all the trades and consultants needed to participate in the build, which met all of our expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MSC to any interested parties wanting to use MSC to do their build, and we would use them again on other builds.

When the Princeton Public Works Shop project was finalized, we decided to lock in on MSC as they came highly referred by the Town of Princeton, and they also submitted a tender bid to Ledcor for the project. MSC was a great team to work with; they were responsible, professional, knowledgeable, experienced and just genuine, honest folks in this industry.

Apart from being extremely cooperative throughout the execution of the project, MSC always met their committed timelines except for anything that was not in their control. In doing so, they absolutely exceeded our expectations and made the whole process a breeze. From the beginning, they had good control over their manufacturers and subcontractors and kept us informed on project statuses and timelines. They gave us some valuable inputs on cost savings too. In addition, they work with a great team of erectors and building manufacturers to deliver a building on time and within budget.

So, it goes without saying that we were very pleased to work with MSC and would definitely recommend them to others, and collaborate with them on future projects!

When the time to build my dream shop finally arrived, we knew that a steel building would be the way to go, but we didn't know much about them since most of the builders in our area only do wood structures. Fortunately, one of the first companies that we spoke to was MSC, Steve and Corey came out, discussed our project plans with us, and gave us helpful suggestions.  They had already put up buildings that I knew about in our area, so they seemed like a good bet. I have dealt with many contractors, and I have to say that from start to finish, these guys maintained a professional integrity that I haven't seen before. 

The structure was built exactly when they said it would be. It went up very quickly, and the builders were always working. The crew lead was really good at keeping the guys cheerful while working hard. They seemed to really like their jobs. The quality of the work was flawless. I was really impressed. 

Since our building went up, they have put up other structures in our area, and I have heard other positive things about them.  

This doesn't surprise me; I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to build a steel shop, shelter, or warehouse.

Thanks, Steve!

Ella and Paul Monro,

From day one of the planning process to the final walk-through, these guys were awesome to work with. The entire process, the quality of materials, the attitude of the crew, the price, and the timeline all exceeded my expectations by far. Due to the fact that our design and build went so well, we are now currently in the process of planning another building. I will definitely be recommending this company.

Jon Hoffman,

A couple of years ago, I came up with the idea of building and getting involved with the construction of an office and warehouse to expand our company operations. Being in the business for nearly 30 years, I thought it would be a much simpler approach and boy was I wrong. It was a different world from anything I had known, I was very lost.

That is when I met Steve Ivanitz, owner, from Metal Structure Concepts Inc. Steve spent countless hours on the phone with me, when I was clueless on where to start and not having any idea about building commercial real estate. His ability to direct and guide me, through the process of my needs so effortlessly with his knowledge was invaluable. Steve directed me to a proper designer and architect, set of engineers and professionals, and of course to general contracting.

After months of Civil, Structural and prep work done by General Contractor; Steve and the MSC team were able to finally erect the most cost efficient, well-structured and architecturally sound building that we ordered. The finalization of the building was the product of great workmanship! I was very happy with the final product, as well as the team itself was professional and very safety oriented, which was very important to see and greatly appreciated.

One thing I would like to mention is that the price never changed from the original quote, despite tough economic times that we have all encountered lately, Steve and the MSC team truly honored his word and agreement.

Thank you to Steve and the rest of the team, it was a great pleasure to work with your company. I would recommend anyone to go to Steve/Metal Structure Concepts Inc. if you are planning to a metal structure building supplied and built.

We hired MSC to build our new operations and processing building for our commercial container forestry seedling nursery. I filled out the online quote request from the website and received a call back from Steve right away. He asked many, many questions about the project and answered all of my questions as well. He spoke to me like I was right there in the room, and we had known each other for years. I had never taken on a project like this before and Steve immediately made me feel comfortable. I chose MSC because their customer service was head and shoulders above all the competition and to put the icing on the cake, they offered the best price! From this point on the customer service from MSC did not falter at all. Through all the ups and downs of the building process during the pandemic, Steve, Tyler, and the rest of the team at MSC continued to provide fantastic service. The erector company that MSC used was amazing as well. They were very safe, efficient, and always ready to answer any of my questions during the build. I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with MSC. I would gladly use them again if there are any builds in the future and I tell everyone I know how great of an experience I had.

We hired MSC for the new warehouse on our Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard property. We chose MSC as they had built our production facility at our home vineyard about 15 years ago and had had a good experience then. Steve and his team at MSC have all been great to deal with throughout the process, even when we faced major delays (from outside factors unrelated to MSC). Once construction was able to finally go ahead, the team got the building up in what seemed like record time, despite un-seasonally cold weather. Everything was handled very professionally, and we loved getting the photo updates from Marty with drone footage giving the bird's-eye view of the project. MSC certainly met all of our expectations and I would recommend them to anybody needing steel construction for their project.

As a General Contractor, we are looking for experts to team up with to provide quality workmanship on every job site. Steve and his team at Metal Structure Concepts is always on top of the details, on schedule, and performs quality work. We highly recommend MSC for any steel building project.

Geoff Barry,

MSC was referred to me by my permit and design consultant as a reputable firm and based on that I chose to meet with Steve. MSC put a competitive proposal together for me and recommended a good local contractor which I selected for the foundation work. Overall the project was delivered without a hitch on time and on budget. I would utilize their services in future work and recommend them to others without hesitation.

Peter Stalenhoef,

I’ve been asked to describe my experience with Metal Structure Concepts on my recent shop build. It’s certainly had its ups and downs. More than anything it’s been an education in the 2018 BC building code. I highly recommend taking their advice and hiring a consultant for code review ahead of time. I personally had no idea what I didn’t know. With the scale of my new shop, going from 3 service bays to 6 and the large span required we opted for a metal building this time. The building itself went up quite quickly once permits were in hand and the quality is good. Only minor adjustments required here and there with braces and fitting door openings. I am very impressed with the overall look and structure. The erector crews were good guys and we enjoyed their company, as we did with the planning and management at MSC. I’m very happy to see this shop finally coming together and look forward to putting it to work in coming months.

Imperial Limestone hired MSC Steel to help design, fabricate and install a new heavy equipment repair shop. The project ran smoothly from start to finish and MSC was knowledgeable, professional and understood our needs for a tight budget. The attention to detail and walking us through every stop was much appreciated and helped for a seamless delivery and installation of exactly the building we wanted. The project rolled out ahead of schedule and on budget and MSC Steel exceeded our expectations. We would (and have!) recommend them to anyone looking to build.

We would like to take this opportunity to Thank You. From the first time we talked on the phone your positive attitude made deciding to build a steel building the right choice for our needs. Your team of talented workers made this a seamless build. We always felt that if there were an issue, you were right there. That alone speaks volumes. I can not wait to build the next project. It was a pleasure working with you.

Steve and Sheryl Thorne,

This is the third time we have used the metal structure team. Each build had very different situations and they performed well in each. The team of building erectors are always ready to adapt to any new challenges that arose. I will be using them in the future.

MSC supplied & installed a multi-building package for us. MSC worked with us during the design process, and really helped us come up with a building design & layout that maximized the leasable square footage on our property. Our experience working with MSC was very good!! They really care about the work that they do, and the customer service was excellent. Both the steel mini-storage buildings and the pre-engineered steel building were quality buildings, and were installed on time and on budget. We would have no hesitation in recommending MSC to anyone that is looking for a steel building. In fact, we are in the process of starting phase 2 and looking forward to working with the MSC team again.

As project manager for the site in Grand Forks B.C., we purchased MSC building 100’ x 125’. Construction took place summer/fall 2019, PHD crew did the foundation, ACG for earthworks and MSC supply and assembly of the steel building package. From drawing specifications, communication, construction flow etc. support from MSC team was outstanding. Fit and finish of the building speaks for itself so I would recommend MSC for your steel building needs. We don’t generally do referrals other than ourselves!

PHD Ken Pettapiece,

We recently worked with MSC on our new 72’x168’ steel fabrication facility in Canal Flats BC. From day 1 of this project from the planning, erection to finishing off, MSC was great to deal with. MSC made sure all details were correct to make a building suited our needs for the years to come. In one of our first planning meetings on-site, MSC provided a date when the building would be completed and they finished to the day committed to and went above and beyond to make this happen while keeping a clean, organized and safe work site. We will definitely work with MSC again on any big or small jobs.

MSC recently supplied and installed a steel building for a 6000 sq.ft design build warehouse project in Trail, BC. Being a design build MSC demonstrated their industry knowledge early in the tender process by suggesting building options that met the owners requirements and remained cost effective. From the design process through to installation MSC staff was efficient and easy to deal with. The MSC installation crew was very professional and hard working. Their attention to safety and quality was impressive. Hil-Tech looks forward to working with MSC on future projects and also recommends them to any owner considering a steel building for their project.

Country RV contracted MSC to design, supply and erect our flagship building back in 2008. The custom design included a showroom, parts department, mezzanine, offices and six service bays and was especially challenging as it involved a six acre site consisting of riparian work along a fish stream, a deceleration lane and a turn lane off Hwy 97. MSC did a fantastic job and no one would ever guess this is a pre-engineered steel building. If we ever expand, MSC will be the first call I make.

“We decided to have MSC help us design & install our custom 6,453sq/ft building located in Kelowna, BC. We went with MSC because we wanted a company that would stand behind their work and their products that they sell. We definitely made the right choice. This project had a few hiccups because of the insulated panels delaminating. This was a factory defect. MSC not only took care of getting the insulated panels replaced, but they also installed them a second time at no charge to me. Talk about going above and beyond for their clients."

"We decided to have MSC help design and install the 16,000sq/ft addition to our existing storage facility in Vernon for three very important reasons: 1. They were a local Canadian company with a base right here in the Okanagan Valley, 2. They were extremely prompt and professional on answering any of our questions, and also in coming up with solutions to logistical and structural issues, and 3. They were honest and every aspect of what they did or represented was done with the highest standards of integrity.

The team at MSC worked seamlessly with our contractor and with myself, and helped enable our project to hit all building timelines and expectations without a glitch. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is thinking of going the metal structure route for their building...You will not be disappointed".

We are a construction company operating in Nelson BC. We mostly do foundations and framing. After doing 6 foundations for MSC buildings at a storage facility here in Nelson, I had a new outlook on steel buildings. I decided to use them for a customer's shop in Genelle. The price point was very good and the buildings are erected quickly. MSC are great to deal with all through the design process. They helped me with code compliance, engineering concerns and worked through the options with me. I found them great to deal with and will continue to recommend MSC to my customers and friends.

MSC was hired to supply and install the buildings for our self-storage facility in Pemberton. We were looking for a "local" (West Coast, Canadian) company to supply and install our building package and I was immediately impressed when I called MSC and I was transferred directly to the owner, Steve, who was nothing but courteous and down to earth with any and all questions I had.

MSC was fantastic to work with. As my first building project ever I needed a lot of help. They were patient and helpful during every phase of construction. Going above and beyond in the office and in the field.

Although we had some difficulties with building through the winter, our time delays were not the fault of the MSC crew. They worked through some fairly adverse Canadian winter conditions to ensure we stayed as close to schedule as possible.

MSC met our expectations in delivering the product on time and on budget. Where they really excelled is in all of the extra consultation required in helping me through the entire process.

We highly recommend MSC as a dependable and super friendly company to work with!

When we were sourcing the supply of our mini storage buildings we contacted Metal Structure Concepts. Not only were they the best price but their service was exceptional. They answered all of our questions, organized the arrival time of the components to meet our schedules and were there for every question we had. When it was time to begin Phase II of our facility, you can bet we called Metal Structure Concepts again! We are so pleased with the quality, workmanship and also professionalism of the entire company. We highly recommend Metal Structure Concepts! Five stars from us.

We had two buildings installed for Big White Utilities. The installation and finished product were great, and the erection crew was very efficient and timely! Our building cost were good, with overruns in the engineering costs and construction of the footings. We used a steel structure for the sewer as it fits our current needs and will be moved in 7 years. Our overall experience with MSC was very good.

“Kicking Horse Coffee has worked with MSC on two main projects; the first was in 2009 with the construction of a 40,000 square-foot addition to our existing roasting/production facility, and most recently with a much smaller, but complicated addition between two existing buildings. They maintained great communication throughout the pricing and bidding process, providing support and recommendations on additional sub-trades and design workarounds to minimize disruption to our day-to-day production. Once scope and schedule were decided upon, they were timely in their delivery and despite a few unexpected setbacks – none attributed to MSC – they were accommodating with ideas and resources to keep the project on track. Kicking Horse Coffee would not hesitate to work with MSC in the future.”

H2P Projects Inc. hired Metal Structure Concepts for the supply and erection of the pre-engineered shop portion of our new Fountain Tire project in Valleyview, AB. MSC was selected based on their proposal, which included pricing and product descriptions. Our experience with MSC was overall a positive one. They worked with us to get the project done in an efficient manner. Throughout the construction process they were easy to get a hold of and we were able to keep things moving forward. MSC worked hard and completed their scope of work ahead of their original schedule - which helped us keep on track with the rest of the project schedule. They did such a great job on this project that we are in the process of hiring them for another one of our projects. I would recommend MSC to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient and professional pre-engineered building contractor.

We hired MSC to design our farm storage building as they had erected our horse barn for us a few years earlier and had done a great job. The communication during all stages, from quote to completion, was always great.

MSC delivered our finished building on time, the crew was focused and positive to work with, and MSC met our quality expectations despite these challenges. Most of the time everyone was even still smiling! We would definitely consider MSC for any future building needs."

MSC was hired to build an addition to our precast concrete plant, for the purpose of manufacturing concrete pipe and other precast concrete products. MSC was chosen because they showed us early that they would work with us when changes to the design were made. Overall experience with staff was excellent, someone was always available to answer questions when called upon. Erection of the building was timely and professional. Overall experience was good and we would definitely recommend MSC for future projects.

MSC did a large addition for us to an existing auto body shop in Kamloops. Being a renovation –this type of build can be extremely difficult. DW Builders, whose owner is the Past president of Canadian Home Builders of BC, is extremely meticulous when it comes to renos and strives for high standards. MSC did a phenomenal job on measuring and planning for this job. They went above and beyond to ensure the site was correctly prepped and stayed in constant communication with the project manager to ensure proper concrete placement which, by the way, was not even in their scope of work. Once the site was ready – their crews arrived promptly and performed professionally, with no hassles. The only thing they left behind was a clean site and a job well done. The project went seamlessly, the client was ecstatic and the end product looks like it had always been planned that way. It was pleasure working with professional, competent crews and DW Builders would not hesitate to recommend MSC to anyone who is planning a project of this nature. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

MSC is an important building partner with StorageBear as we launch our newest self-storage facility in West Kelowna. From the first day of our site planning process, we relied on MSC's expertise and guidance to help us design a building that fit our budget and project plan. They worked around our schedule and hit all project deadlines along the way. The installation crew was easy to work with and their quality of workmanship was top tier. The management team was competent and professional, even when we threw a few change order curve balls at them! StorageBear will continue using MSC for future buildings as we phase our facility over the next couple years.

Dynamic Seeds of Fairview, Alberta, purchased the building from MSC in 2015. The project was 50 ft long x 55 ft wide x 65 ft high at the peak. MSC sent staff to ensure the foundation met specifications before building and to offer their services. The pricing was very competitive, and there were no surprises at the end of the build. The project was completed efficiently and on time, as per the contract. The staff was very friendly and easy to work with, and at no time did we have trouble contacting Steve with any questions and/or concerns. He was always ready to answer our questions. One important thing to note: when the job was completed, the yard site was left clean and neat – such a welcomed surprise!

I have been involved in the purchase of several buildings from MSC. The buildings were cost effective and of high quality. The installation went well but of course had more challenges due to the size of the project and a tight time line. MSC pulled together and completed the Babine Sawmill rebuild to the customers’ satisfaction. In dealing with MSC on these projects, I found them to be very straight forward, helpful and honest. I would not hesitate to have MSC provide buildings for future projects that I am responsible for.

I originally contracted MSC to build a mini-storage in a remote part of BC. The project came together without any issues, and they kept me informed every step of the way. They gave me confidence with their constant communication and project updates as I was off site throughout the build. The quality of the construction was great, and I have had no problems in the 5 years since. I was also surprised by their follow up after the project was finished to make sure that I was satisfied. I have used them a few times now to build multiple mini-storage buildings and have always been very happy with the end result.

"During our building project it was obvious that MSC management was extremely conscientious regarding the quality of workmanship, safety of their employees and adherence to the construction schedule. They worked closely with us to minimize cost overruns. We are very proud of our newest facility and the quality of the building makes a lasting first impression to all. Throughout the course of construction, many details were subjected to the usual litany of last minute changes. The patience, professionalism, speed and skill with which these items were handled was nothing short of amazing."

When we needed some storage for our grain and equipment a friend recommended MSC to me and I’m glad he did. Steve made the ordering process easy and guided me through it step-by-step. Since we started the planning late in the season, we were worried we wouldn’t be able to complete on schedule, as it was well into December when the building arrived - but the MSC crew was great and the actual raising of the building went amazingly smooth. We are really pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend MSC to anyone looking for any specialty storage or equipment facilities.

We hired MSC after consulting with past customers and hearing how efficient and easy to work with they are…we were also impressed with their adherence to timelines and prices. So, we contacted MSC to help with the construction of two buildings. Our first project was a warehouse/sales building, and the second project was to erect our sausage kitchen and packaging facility expansion. To no surprise, both projects were managed well and came together even better than expected (despite the weather in Northern BC). The management and staff were very helpful throughout both projects – both in the planning and construction phases. A big thing that stood out to us was their adaptability to our design/project requirements and requests. Without a doubt, we would most definitely use and recommend MSC.

In 2011 NCC Development Limited issued an RFP for the design build of a 5 bay, 6000 sq' storage facility in Iqaluit NU. The RFP was for a supply and installation. Olympia Steel was the chosen supplier and they highly recommended Steve and his MSC crew. Within a week the deal was done for the erection contract. The building went very well and I was impressed with the production and quality of their work. MSC and their crew also stepped up to the plate to help with a few lingering issues we had, it was our first building like this and there were a few growing pains to be sorted out. MSC made the changes in a timely manner and at no cost to us. I appreciated how they honoured their work in such a remote location that is 3 time zones away from their home base. The relationship was then established and we utilized their services for two more warehouses at 9000 sq' each and also utilized their services for the completion of a special project in Iqaluit, a media studio. MSC is and will be our one and only erection team for steel in the north. When our next project comes up we will also look at a supply and install. The level of professionalism and care showed by the team makes the decision easy for me to choose to work with them again and to utilize more services that they offer.

I purchased a building from MSC in 2013. We choose MSC after checking references, touring MSC buildings and personally interviewing Steve Ivanitz. MSC’s crews arrived on schedule and did an outstanding job. Their foreman was knowledgeable and always ready to answer questions. The job was finished on time, on budget and the entire job site was left clean and ready for the next stage of our project. Safety was always the highest priority on site. Throughout the entire project, Steve was outstanding to work with. His extensive knowledge of pre-engineered buildings combined with his strong interpersonal relationship skills guided us through our project from start to finish with very few issues. Throughout the project, Steve was always a phone call or email away and always had our projects best interest in mind especially when it came to the project budget. It is hard to find a contractor you can trust with your wallet. A huge thank you to Steve and his team for a job extremely well done!

In January 2014, Steve Ivanitz (Project Manager) completed the Powell River Project in a 3 month span. This complex project required detailed coordination of trades and schedule flexibility to maintain the ongoing operations of the facility. The team members of MSC exhibited professionalism in their field construction and management endeavors, and completed all of the technical challenges to the stringent VCH standards. In conclusion, these team members of MSC helped to deliver on what was contracted and completed the process on time and on budget. I would not hesitate in recommending MSC for future construction services.

We engaged MSC to complete the Pre-Engineered building component of a Welding Facility for Okanagan College in Penticton, BC. The building included multiple building systems with which the pre-eng structure had to integrate, and their ability to adapt to suit the design intent was very important. This included specific architectural features, other structural systems, specialized equipment, and LEED certification requirements. Not only was MSC able to coordinate their design seamlessly with other consultants, they also delivered and installed their building on schedule and within budget. Overall, working with MSC on this project was a positive experience.

We hired MSC to construct a 60 by 100 shop for our Heating air conditioning and refrigeration business. After Receiving 3 quotes from other companies, and doing our research on each individual company, it made the most business sense to choose MSC. Prices were competitive, and the previous jobs we looked at that they completed were to our satisfaction of quality. Steve was excellent to deal with throughout the process, even after the building was complete the customer service continued to be positive. Our expectations were exceeded with how little we had to help with the project, once we gave them the go-ahead to start the job, everything was taken care of with steve and his team. I would recommend this company to anyone, who's looking for great customer service, and a quality building. We will be constructing more buildings in the near future and looking forward to dealing with MSC again.
