1)  DIMENSIONS

Most of our customers know the approximate dimensions of the steel building they’ve imagined before anything else. We know how important size is when it comes to your structure. A rough estimate is always a helpful starting point though our sales representatives are available to provide insight for those with questions. The dimensions of your building significantly influence other elements such as pricing and timeframes. Sharing the basic dimensions of length, width and height will accelerate the process getting you one step closer to steel on the ground.

2)  SKETCH

A sketch of your building is an ideal asset to get all involved on the same page. Architects and general contractors often share their drawings with us in this beginning stage. Having even a hand drawn depiction of your metal building will allow your sales representative to better quote the building that you envision.
