When you’re planning a steel building project, understanding the installation process is key to a smooth and successful experience. At The NC Builders, we work hard to make sure you’re fully prepared for installation day—no surprises, no setbacks, just a solid structure built to last.
Where Can a Steel Building Be Installed?
One of the most common questions we get is: “What type of surface can my steel building be installed on?” The good news is—our buildings can be installed on a variety of surfaces, including:
• Concrete
• Gravel
• Ground (dirt or grass)
• Asphalt
• Wood platforms
Each of these surfaces can be a great foundation, as long as your site is level and clear of any obstructions. A clean, level surface ensures our crew can work efficiently and safely while delivering a high-quality installation.
Why Site Preparation Matters
Proper site preparation is one of the most important steps in the installation process. Before your building arrives, make sure the site is:
• Level within 3” from corner to corner
• Clear of debris, trees, or equipment
• Accessible for the delivery truck and installation crew
Obstacles or uneven ground can lead to delays, rescheduling, or even additional costs—so we always encourage our clients to double-check their site before installation day.
Do I Need a Lift for Installation?
In some cases, yes. Certain building sizes and designs require a lift to be present at the time of installation. This is typically the case for larger or taller structures. The need for a lift varies by location and is determined by the manufacturer assigned to your project.
We’ll dive deeper into lift requirements and equipment prep in an upcoming blog, so stay tuned!
