Process
We understand that a project like this can be stressful for you. At Suburban Buildings we built our business with the idea of making the process as simple as possible for you while being completely transparent. We believe that transparency and communication are the key to exceptional customer service. From concept through completion trust me when I say that we look forward to the opportunity to build for you!
Our Process
We have our 9 step process outlined below to help you understand what it’s going to take to get your new Suburban Building from concept all the way through completion. We can explain each step in more detail during our project consultation with you.
Request for Estimate
Fill out our Request for Estimate form. Please fill it out as complete and as accurately as possible. This will help us as we begin to prepare for your design consultation.
Design Consultation
We will contact you for a personal design consultation. After we have a clear understanding of your needs we will design your building on our 3D Software and provide you with visuals of what your new building will look like.
Site Visit
Once you have a design and proposal in hand and decide to move forward with us, we will want to have a site visit to ensure that where you want to put the building will work. You will need to know what your set backs are and where your water/sewer laterals are running through your property.
Permit Preparation
We will work with you to determine what your local building code requires. If you are building in a non-coded area, we will go straitght to approval. If code requires project specific engineering, your job will be sent to an engineer. Otherwise if you need a permit, we will gather up the documents that you need to apply for your permit.
Process Materials
Once your permit has been issued, we will begin to process all of the materials to build your new building. This is also when site clearing and pad preparation should begin.
Pre-Scheduling
Upon completion of the building pad and materials have been ordered, we begin to look at tentative delivery dates. Because we are a construction company and we have to partner with mother nature on every project, this step is a moving target and gets updated everyday leading up to delivery. This will ensure that your materials are not laying on the ground too long before construction begins.
Delivery
Your delivery date will be based on when our next available construction crew will be ready to start your project. The tentative delivery date is adjusted each week leading up to the actual delivery which will be 3-5 days prior to the start of construction.
Construction
Now that all of the hard work is done, its time to sit back and watch the magic happen. Your new Post-Frame Building is now becoming a reality.
Finish Work
Once the shell of your building is complete, we schedule the rest of the trades in to finish concrete, spray foam, gutters and overhead doors.
