This is probably the most important step. All metal buildings need a proper foundation, and there are options you can choose from to ensure your vision for the building is complete from the ground up! As long as the ground is leveled, you can have concrete, gravel, or even grass. Need to get someone to help with your foundation work? Not a problem! Part of our commitment to being your One-Stop Shop for your building needs includes connecting you to the best in the area for foundations and pads.
While it is important for the space that will hold your future building to be ready, it's also important that our team has enough space to build. without the additional space outside of where the building is going, our team won't be able to ensure everything gets assembled properly; they'll need the workspace. That's why we ask for about 3- 5 ft of clearance around your space that is also a flat surface to ensure they get the job done right.
Part of our assembly process requires using tools that need to be connected to a power supply. If there's not a proper space to plug in the tools they need? Not a problem! Our team will bring a generator to get the job done!
Speaking of power, its also important for our team to know if there are any underground power lines in the area so they can work safely. They also want to avoid damaging any septic tanks that are in the area. you an call the National 811 number; this number is the "call before you dig" service, and how this works is you'll call the number and submit a request. When you submit a request, public utility companies send certified technicians to your property for free to locate and mark public underground lines with spray paint or flags. We recommend doing this a few days before your confirmed build date, that way you're not waiting on people to arrive, and this step does not overlap your build date. You may be able to check public records on your property as well.
Lastly, our team needs a clear path to you, so if you are building off main roads, it's important to look at your pathway and ensure it's got enough clearance. Our team needs at least twelve feet of width, including overhead clearance. We recommend clearing any hanging branches if any as well. We would also appreciate it if you could let us know about any gate posts, tight corners, soft ground, or septic fields; this way, we can do our best to work our way around those obstacles with the truck when it's loaded.
Following these steps will help our team ensure you have a seamless and easy going expierence on getting your metal building put together! if you have questions about if your space will work for your metal building's destiantion, or if you would like more info about this topic, head on over to our website here!
