In addition, when you choose your selected building based on the dealer’s guidance and the DSP amount is paid to the dealer, then we the dealer move forward with having your order processed by the manufacturer, which includes, but is not limited to the following: the creation of an engineered drawing for specifications of your chosen structure (if applicable), the delivery of the order and structure information to the Manufacturer for initial fabrication, communication with the Manufacturer for the manufacture of your chosen building regarding scheduling and other matters, and the dealer’s time to assist the customer with any other questions that he or she may have.
 

Depending on the size and/or price of a building, specifically larger width buildings and buildings priced over $15,000.00, most Manufacturers will require additional stage funding, generally 50% of the remaining balance at the beginning of actual factory component production and scheduling of your install, and 50% upon completion of installation after customer’s final inspection. In the event the Manufacturer requires additional stage funding, then any monies paid by the customer to the dealer in excess of the DSP, will be delivered to the Manufacturer.
