Your idea.
A plan to get there.

Six practical steps to help you think through your metal building, from the first measurement to installation day.

01

Start with what the space needs to do

List what you want to park, store, or work on. Measure vehicles and equipment, then leave room for doors to open, walkways, and work areas.

  • Intended use and equipment
  • Width × length × sidewall height
  • Future storage and access needs
02

Choose your layout and openings

Think through how you will move in and out. Door opening sizes and locations matter as much as the overall footprint.

  • Garage and walk-in door locations
  • Vehicle height and approach clearance
  • Open sides, enclosed bays, and lean-to space
03

Check the property before you order

Discuss local permit requirements, setbacks, utilities, drainage, and installation access with the appropriate providers. Confirm the foundation requirements for the selected building.

  • Permits, zoning, and property boundaries
  • Prepared foundation and drainage
  • Delivery and crew access
04

Review the complete written quote

Make sure the building configuration and each separately priced service are clear. Review the selected manufacturer, applicable warranties, payments, and expected schedule.

  • Dimensions, colors, openings, and design requirements
  • Concrete, site preparation, equipment, and other extras
  • Manufacturer terms and written warranties
05

Prepare for delivery and installation

Finish the required site work, permits, and inspections. Confirm readiness with the manufacturer and concrete provider, and keep access clear for the installation crew.

  • Foundation readiness and inspections
  • Utilities located and site access clear
  • A contact available for installation day
06

Inspect, document, and enjoy your space

Review the finished building against your order. Keep photographs, your order documents, and warranties together. Report concerns promptly using the manufacturer’s required process.

  • Inspect openings, colors, and ordered features
  • Keep your order and warranty records
  • Ask before modifying structural components
