Default How many hours would it take to build a simple 10 x 12 shed?

Too many. See hubpops post outlining some of the steps.

I'm fully capable of building one but instead bought a pre-fab 10 x 16
built by the Amish, sold by a local distributor. I did have to put some
stone down and level it where it was to be dropped.

The guy drops it in place, ties it down and you are set to go and at a
reasonable price.

There is a reason she did not get call backs. They are not interested.
They cannot compete with the specialists.

That's what I would do, but when she had another prefab one installed at a different home a few years ago, she said she had all sorts of problems. At her age she could not handle the additional calls, returns, asking for the installer to come out again, etc. She says she would rather pay extra and have no had ache.

I hope she realizes there are no guarantees of no problems with the construction
metohd either. At least with one that is already built, you can see it, check it out,
satisfy yourself that it's what you want. When it arrives, you can do the same and
if it's not OK, you tell them. With any construction project, it's much different and
probably harder to correct, depending on when you tell them it's not right. The
contractor isn't going to want to spend another day undoing what he just did....
