What are your top three manufacturers for pre-engineered metal buildings for manufacturing facilities? Also we need to incorporate day lighting, so do some offer better skylight / translucent panels than others? Butler is the most familiar to me. Oh and this is an addition to an American Building pre-engineered facility if that factors into it.

We just recently did one of these and listed the following:

Nucor Building Systems
Butler Manufacturing Company; a BlueScope Steel company.
Ceco Building Systems; Division of NCI Building Systems, L.P.
Inland Buildings; Subsidiary of Behlen Mfg. Co.
Varco Pruden Buildings; Division of BlueScope Buildings North America, Inc.
Vulcan Steel Structures, Inc

I'm not guaranteeing anything at this time, since we haven't actually put it out for bids and I don't have much experience with any of them, but our requirements are quite stringent and specific.
