What's the best way to go about having multiple custom build menus for a unit? So far i've got spellbooks with tiny building abilities. this has problems though, like the order of buttons in the menu... is there a better way to do this?
 
It is possible to force ability positions in a spellbook, sort of:

Otherwise, you can try something like this:

The demo map can be downloaded here:

You may want to read through the tutorial thread to figure out what the issues behind it are.

The advanced build one works really well, except I can't seem to get it to work with a third build ability, am I going to need to stick with spellbooks for this?
