Hi Crissy
I chose ProTec because it is a panelized system, goes up in sections 3 ft wide and 8,9,or 10 ft high. It's all tied together with galvanized steel channel. You'd be most welcome to come by and take a look, discuss any questions/lessons learned. To me, the cempo/rastra block was more complicated (rebar and concrete fill) and would require more to finish, but as I've never used it these are strictly theory on my part. My experience with ProTec has been quite positive, should I ever build again, it would be my first choice.
As for labor - I have a crew of 1. Dale and I started erecting walls 06/22/06. A couple of times a another hand would have helped, but we developed work arounds. I hired more people to erect the roofing structure and panels - definitely more than a 2 person job. Once roof was on - back to 1 helper.
Rob has been a valuable resource.
Look forward to your visit.
