Metal Building Installation
Metal buildings are a great way to protect your vehicles and valuables from the elements. They’re strong, adaptable, and built to take on almost any project you have in mind. But before you can put your structure to work, it will have to be installed first.
We include delivery and installation with every purchase, so you don’t have to worry about anything related to construction. But before installation day, there are several things you’ll need to have ready for the best results. Below, we’ll explore some invaluable information about the metal building installation process.
Things to Keep in Mind Before Metal Building Installation
Before you break ground on your new metal building project, you’ll want to go through the following steps to guarantee everything goes to plan:
1. Choose the Right Location
Select a level, well-drained area for your building site. Proper drainage will help avoid future foundation issues and water pooling.
2. Consider Access and Building Orientation
Think about how you’ll access your building. Place doors in convenient locations and orient the building to maximize sunlight or wind protection.
3. Remove Brush, Vegetation, and Debris
Before installation begins, clear the building site of any obstructions like trees, brush, and debris.
4. Contact Professional Grading Contractors
Proper site grading is essential for a level foundation and a successful installation. Hire a professional contractor to make sure the ground is properly leveled and graded.
5. Install Utilities (If Applicable)
If you plan to include electricity, plumbing, or other utilities, make sure they are installed before the building is constructed. This can save you a lot in terms of budget and potential headaches.
6. Hire Concrete Experts to Lay Foundation
Work with concrete professionals to pour a foundation that’s the right size and strength for your structure.
7. Secure Building Permits
Check with your local building inspectors to see if you need permits for your building. Failure to do so can result in major fines and penalties.
8. Plan for Future Expansion
If you think you may want to expand your metal building later, factor this into your current plans. This will help future additions go smoothly and without major disruptions.
The Metal Garage Central Installation Process
When you order your metal building, your design is sent off to our manufacturing facility for fabrication. Once these components are created, they’re neatly packed and transported to the site for construction. This is where the fun begins.
Our crews will take these components and begin installing the foundation anchors through the base rails of the structure. From here, the primary framing columns are installed, and the secondary framing is attached to create your metal building’s skeleton.
At this point, our install teams will begin attaching the side and roofing paneling that make up the exterior of your structure, as well as create the frame-outs for planned doors and windows.
Finally, the doors, windows, trim, wainscoting, and extra accessories are installed on your structure. Your building is complete, and all that’s left to do is enjoy it!
