You know what they say, "When the price is too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true!" Structural aluminum is not cheap and there's quite a bit of work involved in preparing the footings and pouring concrete. So you have to ask yourself where are labor costs and profit? As John Reis has asked, who is the contractor? With the building boom South of 466A, there's plenty of birdcage work out there.
