When do you want to have your building delivered. In years past, we quoted most buildings to have drawings completed in 2 weeks and the building delivered 6 weeks after that for an 8 week total turn around. We wish we could get back to those days. With the huge demand on steel mills and steel products in general since 2020, we have seen lead times continue to get longer and longer. As of the end of July 2021 we can offer two options for when you will get your building. In some locations we can offer 14-16 weeks, in other areas it's 30+ weeks. Depending on your situation, this may give you the time you need to do your clearing, dirt work, and work through the permit process. We are always up front with you on what to really expect so that you are not surprised later.
Purchasing the best steel building for your project is dependent on an effective evaluation of alternatives. We recommend weighing each steel building system against your budget, location requirements, intended use and the reputation of the building supplier.
When thinking about your metal building, make sure to check your local building codes. These will help you determine which metal building system is right for you and tell you if there are any local restrictions. You will also need to measure your land with a measuring wheel or with the General Steel map app before buying the building to make sure you order a building that fits perfectly on the property with respect to setbacks and other municipality restrictions.
Some homeowner associations (HOA) have regulations about metal buildings, so once you find your location, find out if there are any HOA rules you have to follow for your building. Many HOAs will automatically refuse to allow you to build a metal building for any reason, and in some cases, adding a metal building to your property can result in fines from the HOA, and there have been cases of them forcing someone to take something down.
