I bought this for pretty cheap at an auction and I don’t even know if there are instructions inside. I’m a pretty handy guy with time and tools and some knowledge. I’ve worked on roofs before and know the basics of many other trades.
Boy is this exactly the sort of “go down to that parking lot and hire a couple of ‘Mexicans’ (whatever country they really come from)” scenario that Trump is ruining in the US.
Should you live somewhere else, there’s probably unskilled day workers who would hold the other end for a pittance and a lunch, and skilled day workers who would be more expensive but would have the whole thing done by lunchtime if you’d just get out of the way, dinnertime if you help.
I say crack that box, and/or look online to find the instructions. If you know how to do what’s required, hire the cheap guy who will just do what you say. Still better than drunk friends who will argue with you. And he needs the money.
You probably can but I’d hire a company to pour the foundation!
I recommend to find some assistance. Even one other person can help immensely at certain points.
I have built a 2-storey shed on a metal frame alone, and it involved highly inconvenient and more than moderately dangerous stages. I would not do it again.
I managed only because I relied heavily on industrial aluminum profiles for machine building (engineer’s Lego beams).
I stupidly was hanging some ceiling drywall alone recently. I gotta say the ancient Egyptians would have respected my pulley work, more than OSHA for sure. Otherwise it would have been boring.

If you don’t mind divulging, how does that stack against timber for cost at least for the time?

It’s too expensive but practically indestructible, except in salt water. Unlike wood, it does not offer any favourable thermal properties, so you can only do unheated sheds with it. I came across a pile of it on a bankruptsy auction, which made it possible to afford its use.
