Portable buildings can be installed on several types of foundations, including compacted gravel pads, concrete slabs, concrete blocks or mobile home pads. The best foundation depends on the size of the building, drainage conditions and how the building will be used. A level, well-drained foundation is important for long-term performance.

Portable buildings are typically built off-site and then delivered to the property using specialized trailers and equipment. The building is then positioned on the prepared foundation and leveled. Delivery access is important, so there must be enough space for trucks and equipment to reach the installation area.

Build time depends on the size of the building and customization options. If a concrete slab is being poured, additional time may be needed for the concrete to cure before placement. Curing times vary based on foundation size and how the building is going to be used.

While licensed electricians and HVAC or plumbing contractors typically complete those installations, the building can be constructed with the necessary space, wall framing and access points to make those additions easier after the building is delivered and set in place.

Setback requirements vary depending on zoning and property type.

Placement requirements can vary depending on the property, so it is often best to discuss your preference with one of our professionals before making plans.
