VersaTube® Building Systems has announced the launch of a new Authorized Installer Program designed to link local contractors with building installation experience to its customers in need of installation services. For many licensed construction contractors and handymen, this program represents an opportunity to add a new revenue stream in an otherwise challenging economic market.
VersaTube - Contractor series framing system for clear-span buildings up to 52-feet wide and up to 16-feet tall.
"Our mission for the program is quite simple and serves two purposes. First, we want to offer building installation services to our purchasing customers who request it. They may be customers buying direct from us or from our retail partners like Lowe’s, The Home Depot, Menards, Northern Tool, Sutherlands, Rural King, and others. And second, we want to build a nationwide network of licensed professionals willing to become a partner with VersaTube in servicing our customers. And, after experiencing how easy it is to work with our building system, if some wish to become VersaTube dealers, then that’s an added benefit,” stated Tim Soder, VersaTube® Building Systems’ President.
Because steel frame components have been pre-engineered, pre-cut, smartly packaged, and are ready to assemble, VersaTube has positioned itself as a unique source for metal building kits. Among customers who purchase a VersaTube metal carport, garage, loafing shed, or metal building, most plan to find an outside source to build it for them. It is estimated that 80-90% of customers in the small to mid-sized building market require installation services. VersaTube’s steel tube frame system features patented “Slip-Fit” frame connections that simplify assembly and reduce construction time for installing contractors.
VersaTube will develop a database of authorized installers available to provide turnkey installation services to its retail customers. Authorized installers will be encouraged to contact local VersaTube retail partner stores (i.e. Lowe’s, Menards, Rural King, etc.) to offer their services to purchasing customers. VersaTube’s strong brand recognition and current national advertising efforts generate a steady stream of sales leads and installation opportunities.
Interested companies and contractors can learn more about the VersaTube Authorized Installer Program and submit an online application from the VersaTube.com website. Each applicant will be contacted by a VersaTube Business Development Manager with additional program details.
