I am a contractor and getting used by potential customers is very upsetting to me. So if you’re asking someone to do something you should expect to pay them for their services .
Contractor here too & agree 100%.

Something to consider, unless there are other steel buildings already in your area you may find the commission more accepting of your project if the materials are changed to blend in more with other structures in the neighborhood.
