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.

Recent shift: Recent reviews (1-4 months old) show both strong praise (early 2024 five-star for quick service and re-invoicing help) and serious breakdown (1-star from a week ago: 3 weeks of silence, 4-month delay, CAD 50,000 at risk).

Praised for
  • knowledgeable staff, especially Danny and Oliver
  • strong early-stage consultation and design help
  • on-time delivery for satisfied customers
  • quality materials and manufacturing
  • permit support and municipal guidance
Watch-outs
  • silence and no follow-up after deposit
  • internal miscommunication and staff shuffle
  • incorrect drawings requiring multiple revisions
  • unresponsive to post-delivery problems
  • late delivery; project delays lasting months or years
  • poor after-sales support

Best for: Buyers confident in contract terms and ready to move quickly through design and permit phases.
Think twice if: Large upfront deposits, months of silence between payments, incorrect drawings requiring you to chase revisions, and unresponsive support if delivery damage occurs.

Strengths

  • Named staff (Danny, Oliver, Roderick, Sam) provide detailed design and permit guidance
  • Quality steel and manufacturing praised by customers who received buildings
  • Willing to customize designs and handle complex municipal approvals

Worth knowing

  • Staff members named in reviews: Danny Kalpakis, Oliver, Roderick, Sam Marasco-Danny appears most frequently praised
  • Customers report incorrect drawings (garage door placement, roof pitch, missing drains/downspouts) requiring multiple redrafts
  • One customer paid CAD 50,000 with 4-month delay and no delivery date after 3 weeks of silence
  • Another paid CAD 30,000 two years ago; company unresponsive to follow-up
  • Delivery damage reported; company blamed drivers and denied responsibility
  • One project delayed over 1 year; building received with walls larger than foundation, beams not level, and ongoing 'fixes' promised for weeks

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(717)✓ Google-verified

Future Buildings earns trust through staff who listen instead of push. Customers consistently mention named representatives-William Robinson, David Marshall, Jared Hogan, Mark Bauer, Jeff Hamilton-who size projects right and answer every question without upsell. Buildings arrive ready-made, look sharp, and hold up well; one customer hasn't left the workshop since October. One reviewer flagged pressure tactics and deposit terms worth clarifying upfront. The company builds prefabricated steel and metal garages, carports, workshops, and quonset huts delivered to your lot. They serve across Canada and the US. Tom Falcone helps coordinate design choices. Most customers report smooth, easy transactions. One dissenting review cited high-pressure sales, non-refundable deposits, and slower responses post-commitment, though this contrasts sharply with the wider pattern.
