SITE PREPARATION CHECKLIST
It is essential for the quality installation of your metal building that you select the right site and prepare it thoroughly. Clear away any debris, brush and make sure the ground is level before you start laying the foundation. Doing this will ensure that the installation of your metal building is straightforward.
However, there are a few steps you need to consider while preparing your site for installation -
Before installing your building, it is important to ensure that you are legally prepared. To do so, acquiring the necessary building permits is essential. This guarantees that your structure is compliant with local county building codes and is secure. If you are unclear on the process, you can visit the county building permit office or website. Yet, if you still have doubts, you can reach out to our building specialists for further guidance.
When selecting a location for your steel building, make sure it has enough space and is accessible for the installers. Additionally, check for any electrical wires and water pipes and mark them clearly, so the installation team can spot them easily. It is highly recommended to call 811 before installation to mark any underground utilities in order to avoid any future hindrance in the process.
Prior to erecting your building, it is essential to make sure the ground is free from any debris and shrubbery. Eliminate any obstacles, including vegetation. Determine what type of foundation you intend to use, whether it be soil foundation, concrete foundation, asphalt, or ground foundation. Depending on the kind of foundation, your preparation steps will vary.
The foundation is the essential step of metal building installation. Errors in the foundation can make your strongest structure collapse. A properly set up foundation guarantees that your structure remains strong and secure for many years. You can select any kind of foundation. However, we suggest a concrete foundation, as this foundation type is known for its strength and durability.
They're a great foundation used for small storage buildings, carports, and some agricultural barns. Generally, this foundation is used for smaller structures.
This foundation is quite popular in residential constructions like sheds, carports, barns, and garages.
When compared to ground and gravel foundations, asphalt foundations are quite strong. They are commonly used for driveway carports, garages, and other structures.
Among the strongest and most popular foundations for metal buildings, this foundation will last for years and keep the building well-grounded even during harsh weather conditions. Suitable for commercial, residential, and agricultural projects.
