The company is a scam and their top dog Doug Kiser is as slippery as they get!!!!!! They come off smooth like Kiser but
in the end it is a scam and you are wasting your money buying a building or dealership from this company Sunward, Rockford and Wedgcor. Save your money and do not buy a dealership from this company. They are ruthless and a bunch of crooks.

Robert,

Thanks for your post. Have you heard anything else since your last post? I just spoke to them this morning. I was under the same impression as you. They never mentioned that I had to purchase a dealership. They made it sound like I would sell the job and then pay them the price of the materials. I am a small business but I don't see the logic in "purchasing" a dealership to sell someones products for them. That would mean that I would be basically paying them for the right to make them money.

Thanks

My call was from 843 538 6952 but I spoke with Helena also. I did not give them a credit card to "help" with the expensive shipping costs for the introductory package. I sent a check for $28. they soft pressured me by pointing out that the mail would slow things down and other contractors in the area might get the distributorship. I said "oh well". I sent the check this morning and am just now starting to research them. they left me with the impression that they were looking for contractors who could act as salesmen and distributors. I assumed my role would be to sell the job and the building, then I would purchase the materials and erect them, like a typical construction job. I did not realize until I found this site ( thank God) that they are looking for money up front. Thanks for the heads up

a steel building company called are local lumber company and asked for companys with good references and that do a lot of work in our city, so the lumber company  thought they were doing me a favor by giving my name as a referral. this steel building company had me interviewed by one lady then another lady named nancy and she said I would have to pay for a packet to be sent via ups, cost 38 dollars then I was to be interviewed by a man named david crab on a certain day with a 10 step questionair. then to be decieded if I would qualify to be a dealer but I first had to pay a fee of 9500 dollars and he was going to contact me the next day with the answer. during our conversation he had instructed me numerous times that a panel of judges would determin if I qualify in a week ???????  how would he give me an answer the next day then? well its a good thing I got suspicious and googled before I gave someone 9500 dollars. they almost convinced me there number is 843 538 4600 and 843 538 6952

The BBB isn't what it used to be. Any business can pay for good ratings these day's. I say investigate further into this first. There's more then just the BBB to check with. State registry's, ftc etc.  Do a good background check..

My husband had also talked to Sunward. They sent him a ton of documents explaining their group. When it all felt to good to be true and AFTER they had him submit an application they then called saying that he needs to pay almost $10,000 for his part of advertising. He did say "well I'll have to get back to you guys about this" when he heard the amount. Was wondering how it worked out for you? My husband is thinking about doing it and to me thats a lot of money to be "unsure" about the business. I also looked into the BBB (looks good on their end) but found a couple things online that make them sound shady. What was your outcome?

do not go with this scame
good companies send you the information free to open more business

I would like you to contact me about your experience with Sunward please contact me at betterjusticebureau@hotmail.com

An A rating with the BBB only means you paid them. Look up the expose online. At least you admit you're a shill.

This company is not a scam at all! I will admit, I am a Contractor Account Manager and we literally bust our a** getting great jobs for our contractors. I represent a dozen of contractors all over the US who are getting the jobs that your business isn't! Yes I am paid by Rockford, but they did not pay me to reply to this post. I am extremely proud to work for this organization. It's a family ran business that has constructed over 55,000 buildings worldwide, worked with millions of satisfied customers over the 40 years the company has been in business and through the 40 years and all the customers we have still maintained a triple A rating with the BBB. Seriously, how many "scam" businesses can say that? If you are a contractor and you get a call from Sunward/Rockford please do yourself a favor and listen. If you sign up you will have a guy like me fighting to get you business and will bust his a** to do so.

Lady named Jessica with Rock Ford says they are looking for a contractor for small sheds and steel framed homes. No harm calling and asking around on their part but should really research the places they call first. They are wanting steel and we sell landscape ground cover. So not the best place to call for steel.

have been a Dealer for Sunward since 1997 and can
tell you that "not only are they legit, they make one of the best buildings around."
If you have any questions call me 406-951-1090

Nice of you to provide comments. I'm nearing a purchase, and the Sunward dealer I'm wworking with has a good reputation, and seems confident that this is a good builing. Hw is Sunward's quality? Their facories are busy. Is their main problem that they sell dealerships to people who shouldn't buy them, or is it deeper than that?

"Karl" and "Wes" work for Sunward/Rockford/Utility King - shame on you guys

Looked into it. They are real. Just wish they would mail me something rather than call me.

They are a Steel Building manufacture that appears to produce a  pretty decent building. I have not done one but the website looks ok to me. I dont like these calls anymore then the next guy, but lets not assume they are a scam because they have a marketing company.

lol...got the same feeling

got a call from sunward...what company wants you to spend money to apply to work for them...only $45 but found it unusual to have to pay them to fill out forms to qualify to work for them....sounded scammy to me

Got a call from 843-538-6952 same storie same crap.

Received a phone message today from Angel looking for a contractor in the area and asking if I could do the work or refer her to another contractor and left this number. Definitely a scam.

got a call from this number wanting a good contactor referral

Returned a call from this number. Was skeptical at first but it turned out to be legit. I have got 3 jobs in the last 8 months, I could have a couple more
but the timing was bad.

Received a call from Bill Nagaki stating Sunward was in need of a contractor in Manitoba to handle their products. I have a company that installs and manufactures fabric covered metal frame buildings and on occasion have put up metal clad wood framed building. After reviewing their web site I was impressed and phoned back to Bill asking for more info. He told me he would get a package together and courier it to me. Then he said I would need to cover the shipping charges - seamed reasonable to me and asked him to send an invoice and I would forward payment. Got a call a couple of hours later asking for my credit card number.,When I told him that I do not give my credit card number to anyone I don't know over the phone but would sent him a check for the shipping costs he put me on hold for a few moments than said if I didn't give a credit card number I wouldn't get to become a distributor. All I can say is thanks for showing me that you are not interested in doing real business and saved me lots of money. These clowns are just like the losers at Ace Industrial Supply stay away and deal with honest people.

My call was from Sunward Buildings they left a message and of course my boss wants me to call them back.  When I called I asked them what their company did and they transferred me. I again asked what the company did and they asked what city/state I was calling from and I asked them what does that matter, what does your company sell.  When they kept pressing for city/state I hung up. Not 2 mins later I get a call from someone else wanting to speak to my manager about steel buildings.  I took a msg and hung up.  I've told my boss to stay away, if he does or not is up to him.

I am a former long time employee of Sunward, Wedgcor, Gold Seal, Rockford ect. The people that got scammed are not few. There are 1000's that have fallen for this "Dealership promise". Stay as far away from these people as you can. And to those of you that check with the chamber of commerce, htey are a joke. Do not trust the Chamber or the BBB they can and are manipulated by business.

Do I have this right? You are calling them a scam
because she was not in.  Did you graduate from highschool or did you earn your GED

Oh, I see... "I'm sooo happy with this company I think I'll just google our phone number and see what others are saying.
Sorry, that bird won't fly (I hope they pay you well for sitting there surfing the web)

This board is full
of imposters and fakes. You use a good service to trash companies you know nothing about. I bet you voted for Obama!!!!

Why would you say something like that. You must really hate your life.
