Final Considerations Before Building Your Modular Barn or Storage Building

Ok, you have done your homework, located a
dealer, you know what type of building and
extras you want. You also took the time to
research and chose the perfect site for your
barn or storage building now you need to prepare
the building site and have the building
delivered. But, before you do here are some
important considerations.

Have a site plan. This is actually a very
important step. The site plan should show the
location of buildings, trees, where driveways or
access will go, where drainage will run. This
will also help you be sure of any zoning rules
or restrictions. All site-plan designs must
adhere to local or town regulations and be
brought before zoning-approval boards to be used
in the permitting process.

There are two sets of costs in a project like
this the "Fixed cost" and the "Variable Costs".
The modular barn or shed you ordered is a fixed
cost, you know what you are getting for how
much. Your building site is a variable cost
meaning that excavation, tree removal, accesses
are all costs that will vary from site to site
and all add to your overall project cost. It is
highly recommended that you get an idea of what
these costs will be before you order your barn
or shed in case adjustments have to be made
either to your choice of site or building.

You have the barn or shed, you have the site
plans and permits so now it is time to "drop the
blade" as they say. Excavation and tree and stump
removal can be expensive so it is important again
that you have your site plan and that the
contractor knows exactly what you need. When
choosing a contractor make sure they are
licensed and insured, be sure they have
experience with your type of project and
terrain. Many times the contractors will need to
work with the building dealer and through the
permit process so be sure to ask questions and
get recommendations.

Insurance, I know it is not a pleasant subject
check with your liability insurance to be sure
your coverage is adequate for this type of
project. This might seem unnecessary but if you
have a larger project it could be a lot less
expensive than a law suit. Like it or not
construction liability insurance is something
you need to consider very strongly. Your
homeowner insurance provider can help you find
the right coverage.

It is also important to be sure that the
subcontractors you are using also have the
proper insurance and be sure to get copies of
their insurance certificates. Be aware that
contractors and subcontractors will need to pass
this cost onto you, the consumer.

Another concern to consider is workers who do
shoddy or incomplete work, or worse, they simply
stop showing up. It is very important to have a
contract with all the contractors and
subcontractors involved and to be sure that the
contract states a clear finish date or time of
competition.

With these concerns meet you will someday be
able to stand back and look at your new barn
with pride and the knowledge that the project
was done right and will give you many years of
service.
