The addition of a custom metal building to your home or business can add value to your property, while simultaneously giving you room to grow. However, the building process can be complex, so asking the right questions ahead of time can be helpful. Here are three questions you should ask before building a custom metal building and why.

Essential Custom Metal Building Inquiries

1. How Much Space Do I Need?

Before you make any other decision regarding your custom metal building, it is important to carefully consider how much space you need. Think about what you need to use the custom metal building for, and what would fit in the lot you have available. Remember that a 10x20 foot space is roughly the size of a single car garage, and a 10x10 foot room is about the size of a large bathroom. If you have items in an existing storage unit, measure the space to see what you are currently using, and consider creating a custom metal building that meets or exceeds those measurements.

2. What Does the Bid Include?

When you talk with suppliers about bids for custom metal buildings, get an itemized list with your estimate. Ask if things like land grading, construction, and custom fasteners are included in the bid so you have a good idea of what to expect. Additionally, ask which kind of steel will be used for the building, and whether or not you can walk through a pre-built version to see the design in person.

3. Does the Building Have a Warranty?

Depending on the manufacturer you choose to work with, your building may or may not come with a warranty. Ask the team you decide to work with whether or not they offer a warranty, and get a copy of any documentation so you can read through it beforehand. If you are investing a considerable amount of money into your custom metal building, think about having a lawyer go through the paperwork beforehand.
