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.

There is a couple on YouTube in Alaska that built a large workshop with just the two of them.

I'd put as much together or at least set up by myself like setting up the parts in locations so it is easier to get the steps done, then get day laborers like others suggested. Maybe a scissor lift or boom lift. Most importantly don't touch those metal sheets without good thick gloves or your hands will be sliced open.
