Not familiar with Mueller's building construction. About 12 years ago had a 20X24 slab poured for a garage. Over the years been using a 2 car tarped garage for my work area so about 5 yrs ago decided to go with a cheap fix and had American Steel install a 18X21 metal building. The type I bought is corregated, not insulated, so condensation forms inside during wet months. Use a 150,000 btu Mr Heater portable heater that toost my socks off in about 5 min's, but it's not cheap if working inside a great deal. Went with the heavier beams and supports, and the 8' metal side studs for the added height, then installed an 8X10 roll up door, company had it built in an 8hr. day. Equipped it with shop lights, type for outdoor use, and gfi electrical boxes. As noted, it's not insulated, but a great improvement from before.
