Building Designs-Your Reliable Source for Dependable Shelter

 □ Mark any utility lines running underneath planned installation site. If you do not know where the utility lines run you can call 811 to have them come out and mark the lines free of charge.

□ Prepare level lot: Move earth to create a level surface. No more than 3” off level from front to back or side to side to avoid a cut leg fee which will help level the building to grade. (If you have ordered a garage with roll-up doors, the side where the door/s is to be placed must be completely level to avoid any cracks/openings underneath the doors which could potentially let in water, dust, or critters.) 

□ The installation of buildings on concrete retaining walls will be addressed on a case by case basis. Please contact us to discuss installation options at (877) 648-7222. 

□ If pouring concrete, please be sure to ask what size is recommended for your structure.  Some states require a 2" overlap, all the way around the slab, some require a 3" overlap, and some a 4" overlap.  (You certainly may pour your pad to be the same size as your building frame, but some states will require a Flush Mount Kit, or Interior Anchors, which require an additional charge.) 

□ Move any and all obstacles in and around the installation site such as cars, RV’s, & debris to avoid a build-over fee. Remember an install crew needs at least 2' - 4' of space, all the way around a building, to work. 

□ Not everyone requires permission, but we strongly recommend that ALL customers check with their local permit office, HOA, Land-Lord, or any entity that controls whether or not the customer may have a building installed at their location. In some areas, please be advised that we may not be able to install your structure without proof of permit. Similarly, proof that a permit is NOT required may be needed. 

 • The installation crews will arrive with a dually pickup and up to a 30’ long trailer, therefore, remote locations up steep hills or deep in a field can be inaccessible to them. The decision to install or not install remains with the installation crew.   

• Please ensure that the crew can get as close to the site as is possible- Additional charges are incurred if the crew has to carry the materials further than 50' from the truck to the installation site.

• Any safety requirements must be disclosed to Building Designs upon purchase of unit. Building Designs must also be aware of any training or safety videos our subcontractors must complete prior to installation. Such requirements must be noted on purchase order. 

• Deposits on All-Steel Structures are not refundable once an order has been processed. Any revisions may be subject to additional charges. (Orders are processed, immediately!) 

• It is the customer’s responsibility to check with the local permit office, and to inform Building Designs of any special requirements, prior to placing your order, as all sales are final! (Special requirements being anything that deviates from the building as it is described.) 

• It is also the customer’s responsibility to determine the product suitability for its intended purposes. 

• Because of how the delivery process works, customers need to have an open availability. (Requesting specific dates/times may delay your delivery…) Installation crews begin working at 7 am and work well after dark, in some cases. --Each time the crews are sent out from the factory, they are delivering/installing about $14-$17 thousand dollars’ worth of structures during a 2-day run. Because it is impossible to know exactly how long each install will take, customers should allow for unforeseen delays or early arrivals. (Most of the time everything goes smoothly- but being prepared is always helpful!) Keep in mind that these suppliers sell in quantity, which is how they are able to offer such great prices! 

• The scheduling date is not set until the scheduling office confirms the appointment with you, at least 3 days in advance. 

• Every estimated date that we give you before that is ONLY an estimation. We do our best to keep customers informed and updated. 

• Even when your appointment is confirmed, it is STILL possible that a scheduled date can change due to unforeseen circumstances. (Please remember that these installers are delivering and installing many buildings in addition to your own- flat tires, truck issues, customer’s sites not being ready, weather—all of these things are rare, but can affect your delivery date and time.) 

• Please try your best to avoid taking off from work for the installation date. (Because the date can always change due to the many factors that influence the delivery, some customers have taken off work only to be re-scheduled! Please try your best to have someone else available for the install, or mark out the spot where the building needs to go. It is best to have someone on-site for the installation, but you do have a workmanship guarantee… If you are not able to be there, and you notice something that needs to be corrected, all you need to do is let us know!) 

• A restocking Fee may be added to the balance due of your order in the event of the following situations, but not limited to: 

     o Incorrect or off-square concrete pad resulting in non-installation of building. 

     o Permitting issues that result in impediment of work completion. 

     o Customer cancelling prearranged appointments. 

     o Alterations made to order after installation date has been scheduled 

     o Un-level lot or restricted/obstructed workspace. (Installation crews require 2'-4’   

        around the structure.)
